Hey Saleem,

I hope OCZ sells off in sympathy with FIO in the morning--it will give me my chance to buy. I believe the product transition at FIO is contributing to their poor guidance and not an industry problem.

Hi Stocktrader,

Looks like OCZ can be had for $7.85?

What a blast with AAPL
made $50 bucks last night
on a swing trade. Phew--It almost got away from me.

Looking for a sell off in apple today? :)
If so I may re-buy.

Hey Saleem,

I must have messed up a 3-day rule somewhere--I don't have buying power for the cash in the account today :(. I guess I'll be on the phone this morning to sort this out...

Hi Stocktrader,

Maybe its a blessing in disguise, delay may bring luck.

Hey Saleem,

I thought of that :), but 3 months is a long time to be handcuffed...

Hi Stocktrader,

OH NO..not 3 months..i thought few days.

Who is your broker?

T. Rowe Price

They were the 401(k) administrator originally so it was an easy rollover. I've thought about switching at some point but haven't so far. Also, I'm not sure how lenient firms can be with the IRA rules--at lot of (all?) places are cash only.

3 months is what they told me too.

They said the next time I break the rules I would NOT be able to trade with my unsettled funds for 6 months

Hi Stocktrader,

Check Fidelity, they are extremely lenient about any enforcement.

My brother has margin account with them & they NEVER sell even IF he stay's under-margined for months.

Hey Saleem,

Thanks for the idea--I'll have to look into them.

Hey Saleem,

I hope the genomics business heats up with the ILMN buyout offer. Maybe I just got lucky with one of my first biotech tries (GHDX)?

Hi Stocktrader,

Biotech is either "feast or famine"..too risky for my comfort.

Saleem

stocktrader_1996 said...

Hey Saleem,

I totally agree. I just happened upon this company a year ago watching a Bloomberg report on TV and watched the stock for that long. The product makes sense to me, and their success rate is great so far, hence my investment despite my normal biotech misgivings.

We'll see what happens over time--I still have that general discomfort similar to you.

Hi Stocktrader,

I had 5000 shares of UBS..it became my biggest loss of my trading career.....i promised myself NEVER to be that "vulnerable again"...

That was in 1993...have kept my promise since......
