I have been buying lately.

Long, mostly financials

UYG,GE,MSK,MSJ,CPST.

GE at 6 was to low to pass on...50 billion in cash.
UYG at 1.80 JPMORGAN top holding, this etf has huge upside.

Good stuff. WIN, JPM, MSFT, for myself. I will look into a few of those you posted.

I did get some SIRI at .5-.10 cents, and waited till it went back up to sell just for kicks.

I hate JPM. They contributed heavily to this financial mess and the mess during depression. They deserve a slow death!

I understand where you are coming from, but it is time to stop whining, scratch up what you can and make some real money son.

ok, i max out my roth each month but i just got my tax return back - should i invest in any stocks right now or put the money somewhere safe for a down payment on a house? prices are really low for companies like GE, B of A, Citi. my theory (which could be wrong) is they may get a little lower but these giants are not going to go under, so eventually they will go higher even if its a few years from now - is this flawed thinking??

what would you do with about 3-5k if you were in my shoes? I'm 26, have low debt to income, stable job, and ideally i want to be owning a house within 1-2 years.


also what sites are the best/cheapest for trading?

I would put that cash in Financials for sure (UYG), the timing is perfect for you... no risk, no gain.

I have used Scottrade guys for years, 7 bucks a pop and good execution and support if needed.

Asia and Bidu have been good to me. GE is the one that's breaking my *****, but I know it'll be back.

I sold my position in UYG @ 5.46 for a 46k profit and then purchased about 70k of C > Citigroup which I think will double by Christmas and 25K of BAC > Bofa...I also like WFC (Buffet has been buying that too).

I also sold my GE Position around 14 for about a 10k profit

gains:

ddrx = play of the century (look at 1 yr. chart)

stj - in at 28.03 - still holding

wfc in @ 13.94 - still holding

f in @ $2.38 out at 9.56

dndn - in at 17 and change out at 33.45

gdx - in at 37 out at 49

losses: mbci, etev, coin, and a few others...

im sitting still right now, not really trading... just because I haven't had time and am comfortable with my holdings.

also involved in a few private med-tech deals out of Los Angeles

Look into wamuq, wampq, wamkq, wahuq. These are no ordinary bk stocks. America's financial future depends on Wamu bk Case. These literally changed my life. I got in over yr and a half ago with just few thousand $ now my portfolio is reaching 6 figures. I got in when everyone was getting out. Even my wife thought I was crazy but I didn't care. Alway do you own DD and don't rely on my post to influence your investment decision.
