Boiler Room: The Official Stock Market Discussion

[Domingo Halliburton]

I know everyone thinks he's a clown and i haven't seen his show in a long time but Cramer is making me like these biotechs.

It happens, you win some you lose some. About half of my portfolio is Apple, and that has been pretty rough since the summer, but it's starting to pick back up.

When I woke up and Googled "Virgin America stock" (not knowing they were acquired, or going to be), I saw the graph of an increase of nearly 40% and thought it was just an error, but it was real.. At the same time though, the next thought that went through my mind was the other poster in here that had some Virgin America, so I was glad for him.

That was me

I had 12k worth of Virgin America and sold it all yesterday. Made 5k profit Now I don't have any stocks left and I kinda miss it

What happened with jet blue?

They're down about 6% since Monday morning, but nothing horrible right now. It NEVER hurts to take a profit. I've learned the hard way before.

I haven't sold anything for less than what I've bought it at, outside of a few minor stock purchases. I've held onto Apple for a while, but it's been down and stagnant for a while until recently.

Only $5 billion is in fines/penalties. The other $15 billion can be written off as "general business expenses"

I had a friend who was involved on the BP side of the settlement. She left that job two years ago but she said they did some ruthless shyt to limit liability.

Why would it?

 

[Futuristic Eskimo]

Valeant internal investigation clearing themselves of any more accounting wrongdoing. Not sure how much room there is for this to run until they hire a CEO and file their 10k, though.

Guess a lot of room
