The last few years have been great to me, as i was able to clobber the S&P500 many times in returns. But of course, you can't make a living trading the markets if you don't make great great returns. I'll try to give my readers trades that i think will make them money. However, you need to have money management skills, in order not to lose everything on a greedy or stupid trade. I may or may not already be in the trades i recommend. I may or may not trade the stocks i recommend. Due diligence is required on your part and the usual disclaimer that i am not responsible for your losses always apply. I have no affiliations with any broker/dealer and all posts are for educational purposes only. Remember to 'refresh' the home page and the "Comments" pages frequently in order to receive updated posts. Let's rock!

Hey buddy, you know the market is closed today right? Short msft? Thats a bad idea
Short AAPL and MSFT??? You must be smoking crack!!
Anybody else have some good trade ideas for Tuesday?
BSQR came out with awesome earnings last week. Buy on any weakness. Also keep an eye on HDSN. You heard it here first! ;)
Anonymous,
Your a trip. you must be smoking crack LOL . Anyway, never smoked crack but I here it's dangerous.
Market's closed...XING for Tues.
Pamfla
What else?
thanks for the stock tip Pamfla!
I see XM and Sirus Merge, do we go long both stocks? If so, what is the exit point?
Thanks
Louis
The stock I truly believe will double, minimum, is SIGA (biotech). I actually think, it'll go much higher but it moves on news (or a genuine fear that it's gonna get away from ya) and I believe the new will definitely be great. Biotechs sometime require patience and are indeed speculative due to pipeline possibilities, testing, et al. Go read "rivalmoney"(sp)on the SIGA board.
Rambo
Louis,
it's already too late to play XMSR. It will gap up premarket to it's true value.
SIRI is absolutely the stock to buy for the longer term. Buy it tomorrow premarket first thing in the morning.
Folks, remember not to go out and just blindly buy the short and long plays. If market goes up, you buy the long plays. Else you buy the short plays. But not both!
Isn't buying both called as hedging?
:-)
gosu,
I suppose you can do that but generally a bull run lifts all boats, even the weak ones.
I generally "hedge" whenever i'm in a big long position (usually with margin) and i'm fearful that overnite bad news can kill my stock. I would buy puts on my particular stock so i can sleep better. lol
Almost forgot to give ya EBAY.
EBAY takes out 34, which i believe it will, is an absolute long!!!!!
EBAY will have a great year. I bet anyone 2 cheeseburger for this.
This is robbery.
http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2007/03/05/8401273/index.htm?source=yahoo_quote
BOTH YHOO AND EBAY will have a good year.
As regards the article, I was watching the movie "Wall Street". Information is money. I think 90% of the money made on wall street is because of inside information.
The rest 10% is distributed among the remaining millions of investors.
The chairman of Goldman Sachs with 35 million dollar salary and $750 million in Goldman Sachs stocks becomes treasury secretary.
This article convinces me to re-in force my trading strategy:
1) Brokerages
2) Casinos
3) Exchanges
I got in SIRI at 4.23! Thanks Beanie!!
SNDK:
Appears to have bottomed at 38.
buy it
BIDU a short?
NYX a buy?
ICE a short below 158
Looks like ICE 158 is holding nicely.
buy buy buy
You idiot, you had a chance to buy ICE under 150 last week.
I'd be shorting AAPL at 86 and loading up AAPL at 84. It's morons like you that make me rich.
beanie.what is you target on NYX? and what would the stop loss be?
ICE if it fails 158, you need to get out and possibly short it
Market gettin hit hard. Take your NYX profits and run
SNDK: now that is a stock worth buying!!!
What a volatile market!!!!
I Like the volume. If we can get really nice volume, it will shine some light on the direction of market
SNDK, as i've said last friday, has bottomed at 38!!!! Bottomed!!! How often do you get to buy stocks at the bottom??? The bottom??
This may be the start of the correction we've been waitin for!
Whatever the market does this year, it looks like ICE will be the stock of the year
SNDK is down today you bozo!!
keep on buying ICE!!
SNDK is absolutely a gorgeous buy for a longer term hold!!!
ICE the best buy on earth right now!!!
GIGM making new highs
bidu, still short ?
NYX seeing short term bottom. Should be going higher for the next 2 weeks before the next smackdown.
i'm up another $4000 today thanks to whoever recommended NCNC last week!!
YESSSS!!!
NYNY approved for a new casino.. anyone know anything else about this company?
Send me 2 cheeseburgers if ya don't believe SNDK has bottomed
NYX and ICE are superstrong stocks. If markets keep on rising, you need to be in these two. No ifs ands or buts about it.
Have a great day. I gotta take a nap.
Longer term of about 1 year, ICE is headed to $300 and NYX to $200
Just curious.. Wasn't 1987 and 1997 merger mania years? Kinda like this year? What happened october 1987 and october 1997? hmmmmmm... lol
-----
alrighty, roger out...
1987 was "Climax" of merger mania, that started in 1982. I think that the merger mania just started last year.
Oh! Now I see what you mean:
1987
1997
2007????
HEHEHEHE
Is it just me or do you guys think that there was something finshy about the "Deal or No deal" yesterday.
They repeated at least 50 times that the father of the contestant come to US with 750 dollars.
then, in the end, he is left with
75
750, and
750K on his board.
Then it turns out that he had 750 dollars in the suitcase, that they then gift to his father.
How more fixed can the game be?
hey beanie what up with NCNC.OB i saw you stoked it on the yahoo board or was that not you
elmyko1
GOLDMAN SACHS is the most non-risky market beating investment you can make this year.
gosu,
Re: deal or no deal...
i was thinking the same thing last night......but he left with money, who cares if it's fixed!
:)
-markrat
ICE coming down
yeah, "ICE is coming down", to get more water for the big freeze. That things not coming back, moron. Maybe test of 160, won't be much lower then that.
"keep on buying ICE!!"
Great call on ICE, Beanie. It`s on fire!
ICE
GS
NMX
Are the stocks of the year.
hey gosu... Would you reluctantly add NYX to that list at all? Reason being I'm holding 10 Sept. 90 calls. Thought about those or Jan.08 90 calls Questioned whether I went out far enough. Think I'm safe?
Oh yes sir.
NYX is surely a buy.
Its performance may not be as good as the stocks listed above, but it is a compelling buy at 90.
I am sticking to my investment theme for this year:
1) Brokerages: GS, BSC, MER, LEH, MS
2) Exchanges: ICE, NMX, CME, NYX, NDAQ
3) Casinos: MGM, BYD, LVS
I expect them to at least triple S&P performance
GOSU... Thank you for your input, and good luck sir.
Any opinions which options we could buy for ICE and NYX
beanie.wha is you target on AAPL before it goes back down?
take a look at hti and clda both owned by person selling nrph to shire pharma. tell me what you think. thank you
NYX march 80 calls move point for point with the stock right now
If you bought XING you should have a big smile on your face today!
:)
Beanie said to short XING today.
LMAO!!!
Are you waiting for an invitation to buy ICE,GS and NMX?
LONG LIVE SNDK!!!!
huh?? you sound like beanie!!
hmm...gosu is a bull now? He may be a useful contrarian indicator.
GOSU... Do you also anticipate some sort of correction coming? If so, your thoughts please on how substancial a it may or may not be. Trying to be carefull with these option contracts and digesting all input given. Thx for your thoughts and good luck to all on this blog.
what is target : nyx,aapl for the rest of the week
Anonymous & Beanie,
just got on the board...XING 19.61
WOW might have to buy in here...
Pamfla
Yeah, I don't think beanie actually shorted XING though. He's got enough sense to not stand in the way of a running train after his dealings with ICE. Alok on the other hand...I think he got burnt pretty bad shorting XING. Not for sure though.
I was looking for two main levels:
2450 as support for Nasdaq
2500 for resistance
Last time I was cautious was because Nasdaq was sitting at its suuport. If it had broken below 2450, I would have been really really cautious.
But now since Nasdaq has broken above its resistance level of 2500, I am starting to buy slowly my favorite stocks (Exchanges, brokerages and casinos) for the long term.
I am also buying Beanie's picks for swing and day trades (SNDK got me good profits today)
Among casinos, watch out for BYD (BYD gaming), I got into it today after it declared stupendous earnings. I am already long MGM and LVS. I will slowly add positions as it continues to go up.
Good luck guys.
Alok is new at this... he shoulda listened to beanie and gosu
Anonymous,
Should I buy at the high or wait till tomorrow and try to catch at
LOD - Pamfla
So you ARE a bull now gosu. Well, that makes me a little uneasy since it's usually the wrongways jumping on board that signals a top but I hope not. Good luck to ya.
GIGM will prove to be the 'stock of the year' for 2007
book it
Gosu is Mr. Bull??? Yikes! Today is the top... mark my words!!
yep....If you bought GIGM, you should have a big smile on your face today!
:)
oct 1987 - merger mania, one day crash
oct 1997 - merger mania?, big one day correction
oct 2007? - merger mania, big one day crash/big one day correction?
hmmmm?
If this year plays out like the others, then we gonna keep on rallying until summer and get a big you know what on october.
AAPL is now trending higher. We should get a decent long play from here before the next smackdown. If it breaks and stays above 86, it should see 90
hey folks,
We had a good rally today which bought in alot of longs. Let's not forget that a correction is due and it could happen when we least expect it. My feeling is we get one in March if not soon. Enjoy the ride but be ready to jump off at the first signs of trouble.
BIDU:
Even though i said it's a short, i definately wouldn't short it if markets keep on going higher.
BIDU is also very oversold short term.
Right on Beanie
Merger mania only means one thing.
Keep buying Goldman Sachs
Hi Beanie,
I can't get over AMZN keeps making new highs everyday? Though this was getting its p/e trimmed down to retail levels?
Louis
Louis,
i love Bezo's confidence and i love AMZN!
AMZN is number one online retailer on the planet!!!!
It's a great long term investment.
Believe it.
gosu,
GS looks really good. Double top breakout is likely tomorrow.
Beanie,
You must be right in regards to AMZN the street seems not to mind that the profit margins shrink every quarter and AMZN lost money with Free Shipping Saver deal.
Best,
Louis
Both AMZN and EBAY will be around for a long long long long time. When they get married, a new child will be borned - AmazonBay!!!
GUYS,
Do me a favor, what do you think about PNSN.
Anonymous,
Bought Xing at a high of 19.55
500 shares and another 500 at 19.31 on Friday. My feeling is it may drop possibly, but will break the 19.70 today. Any feeling?
If it breaks 20.00, hold...yes Pamfla
pamfla-
you post on this blog like you have ADD.....try taking a double-dose of ritalin before you post next time
also you trade in & out of stocks (especially XING) like you have 'diarrhea of the impulse trading'
ever heard of buy & hold??? you must rack up one heckuva commission fee amount for your brokerage
NYX:
Interesting take i got from the message boards.
=====
From Kinetics Funds 12/31/06 shareholder report:
"The world’s various financial exchanges garner an incredible amount of press and discussion, but are still, in our opinion, largely misunderstood. The typical financial analyst discusses market share rather than volume processed, and he/she believes that new trading platforms will lower fees instead of expanding the entire market. The NYSE and NASDAQ are allegedly engaged in a bitter competitive fight; however, both have recently instituted fee increases. In a recent issue of Forbes, David Dreman, a widely respected value investor, wrote a column advocating that various exchanges be shorted. The underlying logic for this view is that the stocks have appreciated substantially and at some point trading volume is likely to decline. In the article, he questions whether NYSE should be worth 58 times consensus 2006 earnings. The answer, in our opinion, is that 2006 is an aberration, since the company is transforming into a for-profit company. Moreover, many of the world’s great investments have been predicated more upon business policy issues than upon anything that you can find in an income statement or balance sheet. Think of Microsoft when it received the right to develop the operating system for IBM’s personal computer. This monopoly-forming event didn’t even register as a footnote in Microsoft’s financial statements. Years later it became widely understood what IBM had given away.
On October 12, 2006, the SEC approved the NYSE’s proposed fee for distributing the real-time data that it had previously been providing to Internet companies free of charge. The approved charge was $1 per month for each unique user. If you assume that there are 100 million unique users that access financial websites, such as Yahoo Finance, then the potential revenue from this charge is $1.2 billion annually (100 million x $1 x 12). The approval was granted a 21-day stay on December 27th, after the Net Coalition, whose trustees include Yahoo, Google, and others, petitioned the SEC. What is at stake here is tens of billions of dollars of market capitalization that could shift from the Internet-related companies to the financial exchanges. There can only be upside for the NYSE as it currently receives nothing from the Internet-related companies. Imagine what would happen if the NYSE created its own financial website, in cooperation with NASDAQ, and offered the only website at which real-time quotes were available to the public. The traffic that would be directed to this website would be enormous, as would the advertising revenue engendered. None of this information is available in the NYSE’s financial statements. Nor does this potential change currently provide any economic benefit. This situation, however, is not likely to be a permanent condition. The economic implications of this issue are staggering."
ISE:
You might want to nibble on some if you like exchanges. Undervalued compared to its peers.

slowly but surely. Remember this one? Going much higher because of myspace.com
Thank you for your blog!

BOT
NMX
Come here everyday to read the comments. Good stuff Beanie.
