It all depends if it is long term or short. Me, I am a short term trader. I would wait and watch HD, it is consolidating right now, wait for the break to the upside, buy EXM when it breaks 11.25, TIE at 9.45, BID at 11.50. Good luck!

UNG. It's going to seem a lot more attractive in the next few months.

I've been waiting for MT and X for the past couple of weeks to sink, so that i can jump in, but i think i might be too late. I might just go for AKS. Also, i'm hoping that HD will sink to 20, so i can jump in. On the other hand, i am glad i had jumped in on AA, DRYS, EGLE as well as C a while back. They're doing well. All of these are for long term of course. I sold my NOV a few months ago, so it is too late to get back in. Oh well.

I own some of these as well and have purchased more in recent months (GE, USG, BAC, AA). My hopes is they will fund my retirement.

I loaded up on KERX about two weeks ago when it was $.40 and it went up 70% on Monday and 11% on Tuesday. It was down 10% today with the overall market being down, but it has been holding steady above $1.15. I'm very long on this stock...I may sell half at $8, but I will be hanging on to the rest until results are announced for the Phase III trials of Perifosine, which is about 2 years away.

They should, especially BAC. I see them as an earnings monster once the economy picks up. They were a $60+ dollar stock before the recesssion, WITHOUT Countrywide and Merrill Lynch. I see them as an $80+ stock in the best of times, INCLUDING restored dividends once they get rid of TARP.

I also just jumped into RAD long term and will be buying more. They have their issues, but have finally finished the Brooks/Eckard integration, they have closed redundant and unprofitable stores and are restructuring and reducing long term debt. And at a time when prescription medication uses is in the upswing thanks to the baby boomers, I see RAD as having much more room to grow share wise than their competitors. They could also be a possible buyout candidate if someone like WMT wants to expand their drug presence, or if TGT wants to get into this market against WMT, especially if they keep reducing their long term debt.

GLTA!!

I was told by a co-worker that it is good not to buy too much of a stock at one time. Just buy like 200-300 shares at a time in case the price drops, thus allowing one to get more shares. What are your thoughts?

I'm using covered calls to protect my downside even though it can limit upside. Nevertheless, it has worked very well for me so far this year. At the moment I am in SNDK for the third time this year (having been called out twice with a nice profit each time) and it is looking very promising. I also have NDAQ where I have been able to write two calls so far and DRYS which is not performing all that well but that doesn't matter as I will just write another call and bring cash in that way.

I got called out of HIG and AKS taking a decent profit off both. I am looking carefully at HIG with a view to maybe going back in. I also have both FAS and FAZ. Both ETFs have been good to me and I have been writing calls on both for several months without actually getting called out.

Following a tip on here I have been tracking SVNT very carefully. It is more speculative than I usually do but I sense some opportunity there.
