Why Portfolio Crushes Gawker Like Donald Trump Over Bill Murray
Leave it to Gawker party photographers to take pics of you at the exact moment you’re making a weird face…see me and Dealbreaker’s John Carney schmoozing and boozing last week:
See previous good-at-making-me-look-bad Gawker articles HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE
Still, this pic of the Donald in Portfolio the other day is like Gawker x 1,000:
Uhhh, can you say Bill Murray in Kingpin?

looks like others had the same idea but didnt create a closing limit order and they’re all getting squeezed

LAUD is on the move!!!

Question for anyone who could tell me what’s going on with LAUD. Its been negative for the majority of the day, but on the Level II there is a bid from ARCA for 85000 at 2.21 does anyone wana explain this ?

MIT..posted this for your info on the trade on the other post, saw a new post up and I realize you guys travel post to post so here is the info again as to why I sold ROYL at 8.02 when 7.99 looked like the resistance point:
I was looking at 3 minute chart… I was watching several others and missed the oringinal buy point at about 7.60-7.65.. Chart was strong so I entered at 7.92. Volume was still good on the 3 minute chart. saw resistance at 7.99, BUT, still strong volume. Lot of bids underneath…so not to be greedy took the limit order to sell at 8.02…Once the stock climbed through 8.00, that was the psych barrier and it spiked up. I sold into the spike on the limit order.

STXX is a lebed pick, remember PSTI, was a great short…evtnually, might be early here

STXX is a beautiful chart

LAUD is surging and the bid for 85,000 appearing and disappearing left and right

FRBK is finally fading.
Check out the chart.
Vertical action on a pathetic company.

Tim,
I have watched your DVD and shorting a pattern like STXX is definitely not in there. Terrible risk reward there at this point. You are early

June 11th, 2008 at 1:12 pm
MIT, take a look at the daily chart for LEI another small oil play then move into the intra-day charts from the daily…it is being talked up on one or two sites now so nothing spectacular but looks like a good one to put on watch…had a big push up around end of may and has come back down
19timothysykes
June 11th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
yah def. early on STXX, looks like it might run later today/early tomorrow, thats why its just a 1/2 position
20trader@MIT(TIMBUCKS: $164)
June 11th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
TGE @ 8.50, looks like a nice afternooon fade

I am in LEI at 4.95 about 15 minutes ago. seems to be catching the momo

June 11th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
No Vu-Du, not anyone specific.
It adds more value to the site if you post as you are entering and exiting like Tim and a couple of others do.
Happy you or anyone made money today but don’t really care after the fact…

Tim, STXX little too early to short, I think, based on today’s chart. I am long 2000 shares at $4, exit plan at $5 and then short. Already reserved 2000 shares.
25Timothy Sykes
June 11th, 2008 at 1:34 pm
covered 300 of 1,000 at $4.25, now big block sell orders maing me feel better about the remainder, once it takes out 4, could go nicely to 3.50
26Timothy Sykes
June 11th, 2008 at 1:46 pm
covered 400 more at 4.09, not that i think its going much higher, it could, i’m just nto risking it with my tiny account…loss management 101
27Ryan
June 11th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
Sold all long position STXX at $4.35, made $700 on long side. Now waiting to enter short side.

Ryan, what was your entry point?
29Ryan

I bought STXX at $4.00
30Timothy Sykes
June 11th, 2008 at 2:13 pm
nice ryan, long side was def. the way to go…i’m all out, $250 loss, i’ll live and ideally it squeezes into tomorrow
31JensGould(TIMBUCKS: $53)
June 11th, 2008 at 2:14 pm
Any thoughts on ESIC? I know its a “super” pick but its sitting at resistance and selling coming in. Might get an afternoon fade?

What brokers have shares of STXX to lend?
Zecco nor TOS have any.

anyone else long on the LAUD
34Tony Ellis(TIMBUCKS: $128)

I’ve got 2700 shares reserved at Scottrad…that was all available
35AdamN(TIMBUCKS: $61)
June 11th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
Tony or Tim, what time were you able to reserve shares of STXX? I’m curious if you got them pre-market or early afternoon, since it seems borrowing shares on these penny stocks is mostly a no-go after the market opens…thoughts?
36Tony Ellis(TIMBUCKS: $128)
June 11th, 2008 at 2:38 pm
I reserved shortly after Tim posted he shorted. I’m waiting to see how it acts into close.
37Ryan
June 11th, 2008 at 2:40 pm
Trader_MIT, I borrowed 2000 shares from Ameritrade. It is always good to have accounts open with different brokers and when needed you will find shares to short from one or the other. BTW, did you cover FRBK or going to hold O/N?
38trader@MIT(TIMBUCKS: $164)
June 11th, 2008 at 2:41 pm
I covered at 6.31
39trader@MIT(TIMBUCKS: $164)
June 11th, 2008 at 2:46 pm
I’ll re-short if it hits 4.60+ though.
40brent(TIMBUCKS: $185)
June 11th, 2008 at 2:46 pm
mit: correct me if i’m wrong; wouldn’t FRBK be a better play to wait for another push higher then wait for a red day?
41Young Gunz
June 11th, 2008 at 2:54 pm
I’m liking how LAUD is starting to form. Kinda wish I would have bought in earlier today to get the front side of the run up. I will keep a close eye to get it when it breaks down.
42trader@MIT(TIMBUCKS: $164)
June 11th, 2008 at 2:57 pm
Brent, yes that would be ideal, but what are the chances that it will push higher? It’s nothing but a commercial bank that is in absolute shambles with the financial crisis.
Better Play, but I don’t like the chances that it will occur.
They have a 400 million cap with 1b in assets and pathetic earnings. I just don’t see it.

looks like another shot at the high: FRBK

meanwhile WM dipped from open and went to a double top with fading volume. just trying to make sense of this afternoon fade on a high volume stock…

I still think SLAT is a good short here. They make no money and have over 200million market cap. their technology is not earth shattering if it was it wouldnt be sold to them for cheap.
