what stocks are you in?

[Choons]

A couple..one a pink and another a bulletin board
NEPH- long at 1.26
BIEL- long at .0771

NEPH is a medical device company that got one approval so far for a Dual Stage Ultrafilter that is used to filter biological contaminants from water and bicarbonate concentrate in hemodialysis procedures.
They are waiting on word from the FDA on a few other approvals.
I originally bought this on May 26th ..got in at .32..Sold some at .76, .88, .90 and then the rest at 1.35. It got up to 1.75 at that time..
It sold off a bit and then I got back in at 1.26 ...fucker ripped to 2.63..This time around I sold some at 1.93and some at 2.60..the rest I'm most likely going to ride until the FDA makes their decision on the other potential approvals.

BIEL..I bought this one on pending approvals also...I bought in at .0771 on 8/4..after a few analysts placed a .30 to .50 price target on the stock. They've had some good press releases..most recently the 19th BioElectronics Significantly Strengthens Balance Sheet, Comments on FDA Applications - Yahoo! Finance
If this dips below .07 I'm gonna get more.

Another one I'm intrigued by and played is GETA..another bulleting board stock that has some significant anti-cancer drugs waiting on approval. It used to be listed as GNTA but the company did a reverse stock split and the ticker changed. This one is risky...the FDA has asked for more clinical trials from the company for their newest product. I'm on the sidelines on this one..Might get back in mid september.

My account sucked for a while on some bad plays but NEPH has been very kind to me.
As you see I like to play the small pharma stocks that have FDA approvals looming.

I own Man Financial (MF) at 2.11 net its at 6.82 today......holding it since Jan. I think its good for 10. Its a rock solid company that just got SLAMMED with all the banking stocks when in reality it is not a bank at all and had ZERO sub prime exposure.

I also bought Alcoa this year at 5.27 net in like Feb this year and it is trading at 12.69 today. I think its good for 30 within a year or so.

I'm did well with GE. Got in around $7 already sold half a little while back at $14 to cover my cost now I'm letting it ride out.

I'm up about 75% on United Rentals (URI) which I bought around $5

Recently bought in to Altria (MO) at $16.5. Great dividend company

I'm really high on Activision Blizzard Inc (ATVI) - I bought it at $11.50. they are the best out there in producing video games

I'm also up about 25% on IMAX which I bought around $7 and I think they can still grow


I really only started investing in stocks a few months ago. Luckily I was still sitting on some cash and it looks like I may have gotten in at the right time. If the Dow hits 10k I may look to dump everything and go back in to cash for a while. I know a lot of people are predicting a huge pullback maybe around october so we'll see.

The one that i still kick myself over is not buying Citigroup when it was around $1. I was so close to pulling the trigger on a couple thousand shares but never did. Oh well

Also wish I bought Alcoa & Caterpillar with my boss a little while back when he told me to

Just got out of AIG (it had a monster day) and broke somewhat even on it. I should have jumped on it after the reverse split a few weeks back.

[Capt'nAmerica]

mostly ETF's

Dollar cost averaged SIRI at 15 cents, brought my break even to 1.25 from 8...NICE RUN!

Thats great but focusing on break even isnt always a good play. More time than not you will get taken to the cleaners.

I got in at $2.70 and heavily at $2.30. That split they had fucking killed me but i should have dumped more in at $17 a few weeks back and sold this morning at $56. Fuck, ohh well i was just happy to get out being somewhat close to breaking even.

On a day where theres and pullback in Oil Heavy into the OIH (Oil Services ETF). I personaly think in the long term 6 to 8 months (which i am usualy not a long term guy) Oil is going to run very niceley. I have some of my clients in this already. Only thing is i have stops in because CHina worries me a little bit. They are lagging right now behind the U.S. Markets and they are slowing down on growth I believe. I was in the FXI (china etf) but i was stoped out. China buys commodities like crazy right now. So any pull back on that I might jump out of the oil trade.
