What do you brehs think of HALO?

like a lot of these pharmaceutical companies it all depends on what the FDA says. What phase are they in? It looks like the FDA held it up before.

@Futuristic Eskimo you still liking TRN even though it's dropped? I'm not sure I'm liking that high beta if there's going to be a continued sell off

This things not stopping. I was having doubts it would reach the $50 mark by the end of the year, but its pretty much there already

Took a small short term position in ACHN with limited potential. 500 shares, sold 5 Sept $9 calls and bought 5 Sept $10 puts.

Recently added some GRPN to my portfolio. OVersold on previous bad numbers and currently undergoing reorganization and overseas expansion. Currently at 52 week lows. May be a good buy and hold move. Lots of hedge funds are currently buying.

TWTR may also be a good buy right now as well.

Nothing worse than missing out on a company you called going up...shorting it cause it went up so fast so quickly...and still getting burned

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

Stocks doing good today! In fact I've had a great July. Hopefully this trend continues because it looks like i'll be having an EXCELLENT Christmas if these current trends continue.

My fukking mind has been a mile a minute all day crunching numbers on ACHN. Closed out my $9 September call and rewrote November $15 for $1.85 premium

I wonder if China allowing foreigners to buy their mainland stocks now is going to go smoothly in October

Another quirk of Chinese trading is the use of the fax machine. Faxes are widely used on the mainland, especially among government agencies and some institutions involved in the Stock Connect program. Many of the orders to buy or sell stocks will be transmitted via fax.

If theres another weed bubble, keep your eyes out on companies from Seattle. They are killing the scene right now and expanding to all medical states in a very corporate manner.

I remember I used to go to the bank and I'd leave with a sore back from carrying 500 pounds of different types of receipts they gave me that needed to be red rubber stamped by 1000 different people.

Bureaucracy



China has the capability to be advanced, but often likes to do archaic things to keep people employed and not revolting.

I didn't even know though that they were opening their markets.
