Idfnl, how do you do it? are you good at finding patterns or can you just feel the direction of the stock? :)

Idfnl, you should pursue a career in trading on Wall Street.

All the firms would be lining out the door to pay you handsomly with your self-proclaimed trading prowess.


MBLY: I'm up 27% in 2 weeks, Goldman just gave it a $100 price target.

Stop being whiny. My moves for the last few years throughout this thread stand on their own.

I don't understand the question.

Your advice is sound but it's not just luck. Some people have an eye for trading, others don't. Over the course of time you find out and you outperform, revert to the mean or under-perform. The latter 2 means you should just buy broad based and spend more time with your family. I've personally succeeded trading, but to me its more of a hobby. I like the game too much to just hang up my ticker and buy VTI which has averaged 6% annually since 2001.

I bought DIS and HD pre-market.


Like those kids in the training session he described?

Best of breed.


Woo hoo. LOCO popped, took profits.

EPZM and KITE are looking buyable at these levels.



EDIT: took new stakes and EPZM and KITE

I assume they look even better today?

I am just putting in new money to funds as they bump along higher and higher this year.

If it holds up until Christmas, I will be a happy man.

I averaged down on EPZM, holding tight with KITE.

I dropped early, just don't have the commitment to the story. I think the move is based on anticipated Xmas sales, which I don't see as a new part of the story.

I don't believe they can successfully build an ecosystem long term. For your sake, I hope I'm wrong, but I won't be a buyer again.

Nothing much to be done for it, as I'm in lockup. Luckily, I have an effective cost of something like $3.60/share.
