why YHOO?
I got damn bloody lucky. I was assigned -100 because of my sold calls (options)

and i had a big loss that became a small loss thanks to YHOO chiong down.. LOL
by tmr, my position would be closed with a tiny gain or loss.
im so thankful it tanked down..

surprised to hear you gonna stock up on it.

AAPL-
any guys here holding? Im thinking of taking profits just before Apple watch launch. since whenever apple launch a product, the price of stock will drop...
wonder whether i should do it.
and buy back later if it falls below

coz deep down inside.. im in love with this stock and its potential..

I think you have answered your own question with regards to aapl. why not take the opportunity to buy more IF it does dip

 

[Bedokian]

AAPL can buy if there is a dip, unfortunately I had hit my quota for this counter, so now I am accumulating BRKB when the price is right.

Neither side is budging... and the show continues.
ECB raises pressure on Greece as Tsipras meets EU peers | Reuters

On the other hand, AAPL pre open is $126+/-
Oil price recovers a little.

UA entry target $70+/-, gonna start to wait for it.
ENT up 5% after recent slump on Monday when the company announced a convertible debt offering. Along with the offering, major shareholders of Global Eagle will sell 8.3 million shares in a public offering.

Ditto watching UA for a gd entry point. So NKE still on the back burner?

AAPL is soaring...gotta wait for a dip to add.

Im glad V is doing better today.

Looking to add tp brkb too. hopefully that dip happens ard CNY. Would be a nice pressie to myself

JNJ breaks down. $96 for next support. Should one enter?

NKE I just entered at $92+, 3 month looks like a descending triangle. So I'm waiting for either $85, or $100+ to enter again. Slowly build, no need to hurry.

UA looks like ascending further, so I don't mind entering higher like about now $73.Not recommended for others as margin of safety is important. I'm just waiting to see market downturn, then I enter since market YTD kept on returning to 0% gain.
$60-$70 range, it would make the decision easier.

Someone asked about DJI. I dunno how high or low it will be.
What I'm waiting for is S&P 500 to hit above 2090 and the next low to be around 2000. It's basically trending sideways on a 3 month basis, uptrend on a 6mth - 1 year basis, and
I must say a terribly scary super uptrend 5 year basis. Scary because the climb is so steep. Tread lightly. Always have margin of safety.

So DJI is more or less the same trend. The key though is 18000 seems like a strong resistance as it's a big round number, whereas for S&P 2000 is the big round number for support.

Anyway, my TA is not good. Any expert feel free to correct me and advise further.

Greek bailout talks fail to make progress

The new Greek government’s confrontation with its Eurozone creditors over its campaign to relieve its staggering debt burden while also relaxing the terms of five years of austerity resulted in stalemate late on Wednesday.

The first proper negotiations between Greece and eurozone finance ministers failed to make any progress or result in a joint statement. While no immediate agreement had been expected, the emergency meeting had been tipped to produce a framework for talks to be finessed over the next few days before a further meeting next Monday.

S&P close near record level.
WTI moves back up to $51
Brent moves up to $57

Bought NBG when it was $1, speculating 10% of my portfolio that the Greece crisis will be settled amicably

Price to book 0.3+
Recapitalized successfully last year

Fingers crossed

 

[lcornwisky]

More or less Greece will stay in the euro zone near impossible they will leave

Any news on the Greek issue will be considered a glitch for the main markets, IMO. So for those who like to buy/sell using timing, this would be it.

Ukraine issues OTOH, will spook all classes of assets if there is very good/bad news, IMO.

 

[GoldenBargain]

Fridays are usually on the red side. I wonder if it will be v red seeing as it's friday the 13th. def watching the market tonight incase im right.

Fingers crossed it will be a great opportunity for JNJ and UA and ALTS.

On a side note, I m really happy with how MEIP is performing. Hopefully it continues.

 

[Perisher]

True, greek issue is like a small drag every now and then, providing chances to enter whenever negative news come out. Barring Grexit, it is nice to have this sort of noise here and there.

Friday usually sell down because traders usually don't hold stocks over weekend. They can't react if there is any news on sat and sun. But that said, I seldom think about it.

I'm heavily invested in JNJ, looking at the sell down as chance to slowly add in more.
MEIP seems interesting, you added at $3 low? you sure can pick a golden bargain.
