Lets see how my penny stock play FORC ends up lol.. since i missed my shot at mfa.. and missed another buy in into neon
Boiler Room: The Official Stock Market Discussion
Sucks that most of the Chinese stocks moved up so quick that the volatility made the options too pricy... knew there was a good short opportunity, but didn't have the balls to go short with expensive puts... can't predict 20% drops in a day out of nowhere
On another note @franknitty711
If you aren't tracking EPE relative to USO, you should be... I haven't checked it in awhile, but I imagine the selling on EPE was too much relative to downturn in oil prices.
Another one of those days where oil is down 2% and EPE is up 4%
Fair point. I was not following USO, just the price of Oil and as its dropped so has the price on EPE. I aint trippin, plenty of time for my options and I am comfortable it will bounce back up.
I just put 10k of my 401K money into FIT. This is a great product and I see it making huge strides in the coming months.

I wasn't sure about JD, but I think I like it.
15% ownership from Tencent is a big plus. Tencent is for real.
And I really like their partnership with Zest Finance. Zest is run by former CIO of Google and ex Capital One subprime people. They do big data for underwriters to give loans to "underbanked" people with bad or no credit history. That's a lot of China. Zest is going to help JD make credit decisions for ecommerce purchases via JD. I like that a lot.
I don't think they'll be the next Amazon because Bezos is just a god damn genius... but I think it has the potential to return big over the next 5 to 10 years.
I'm thinking about getting Fitbit too. I went to Best Buy yesterday and they was damn near out of stock with their watches. Also two older ladies were trying getting one for themselves. They are more affordable than the iWatch and do most of the same stuff. Once they start doing options, I definitely will make a play on them go up in price.
Edit: They do have options but they are so fukking expensive right now

Yea super expensive. I looked at that too and since I am more flexible with buying stocks in my 401k i decided to go that route.
Fitbit is just getting started. I am seeing all kinds of folks at the office getting these. Its a better product than the Iwatch at this point, so may as well watch this stock double in the coming months.

I think China's a great long but all of the artificial pumping has to get called out from time to time. I mean, we're talking about a nation that builds up fake/empty cities just so they can put some more assets on their balance sheet to leverage against.

I like FitBit but I don't see them having long term success. I think iPhones or some kind of phone will implement accurate activity tracking into their platform and crush FitBit. I got one for my bday last year and wore it for about a week before I realized it was useless.

I just feel like the current trend of wearable technology is going to falter sooner than later. All of their technology can be tossed into an iPhone and we can call it a day. Simplicity is key IMO and wearing 17 WiFi connected gadgets to measure your steps/breathes/calories/etc is silly and the trend will consolidate rather quickly into already established technology.
