Boiler Room: The Official Stock Market Discussion

[tmonster]

good point. i mean i understand why but its still ridiculous

you don't have to listen to them or the market
fundamentals eventually win out and volatility is always good for keeping the market liquid and for flipping shares

 

[Ohene]

meaning Herbalife will surge? Its plummeted quite a bit lately.

i dunno about a surge but something tells me his news tmw will be shaken off

and itll be back in the 60s in a few months

 

[Domingo Halliburton]

Interested to see what Microsoft and Apple report after the bell. Seems like investors are expecting good news.

 

[Ohene]

at this fukk boy ackman. I wonder if the presentation has got to the good part yet

 

[Domingo Halliburton]

Yeah I'm not impressed by this Ackman presentation and HLF shares are back up 8.6%.

Herbalife sounds like they're pulling a bunch of bullshyt in Latin America though:

Slides describe how Club 100 trainees work for free in an existing club. The position is like an unpaid internship, says a slide. Christine quotes a Bogota, Colombia recruiter about showing up.

Classes are two to three days a week in the US, five days a week in Mexico. Trainees have to buy and consume the shakes, as part of their so-called certification. She cites a visit in Chile.

The classes require aspirants to boost the club’s sales, and stand up and give testimonials about the health shakes’ curative virtues, says Christine.

Then the trainees have to tour other clubs and consume more shakes, tea and aloe water.

“Mr Hempton probably didn’t engage with these people,” interjects Ackman.

Week Two of training described by a slide. Undercover investigator in Colombia reported that trainees must make 100 shakes, all paid for by themselves and their families and acquaintances.

Two years into this process, one trainee was still not allowed to advance, says Christine. Invitees have to get people to come to the clubs and consume, at the trainee’s expense.

Herbalife up 23%

Ackman

 

[Ohene]

i didnt think ackman would fall short of expectations that badly. I expected a modest 5% gain up

Mother fukker, KOG got bought out and I missed out. If OAS gets scooped up next

Seems like some consolidation is finally happening in US E&P.

NQ



You the man for this one breh

Volatility can be your friend.

Did you get in?

Doubled in a few days.



Even better... it could quadruple from here if the fraud accusations are baseless.

The short squeeze will be a thing of beauty.

 

[Big Jo]

Did you get in?

Yessir, in at $4.48

Thanks for feeding us breh

Yessir, in at $4.48

Thanks for feeding us breh

Now all we need is CERE to take off



I'd be careful with NQ though. I might consider taking profits and buying some options.

Could quadruple in the next year or could be halted and end up an OTC penny stock.

EBAY blessing me today Twitter hopefully picking up where it left off...LVS

VZ might finally breakout ...next earnings release will determine if its a double top or rounded bottom i think. And C group is looking like an easy play. If Twitter, Las Vegas Sands werent so bad this week I woulda got Citigroup around $48 using the profits smh.

literally right when I sell my EBAY calls at like 51.80 it breaks out to 52.50. Left about $150 on the table. Chump change but still
Citigroup still going uo

Twitter already up over 20% after bouncing off resistance around $30.50. Looking back on it, that was a no-brainer. Why exactly are bullish long-term, though? Personally, Im not a fan.
