Stock tips?
- Thread starter stang
- Start date
Just waded back into NT yesterday (and of course it's down today)
I had bought, sold, bought, sold (got burned) now bought again.
It seems to have very solid support around 4.5 ish. No matter what the bad news, it doesn't sit long around 4.5.
I gotta believe that most of the bad news is out about the accounting scandal. Unless the board of directors start resigning, I don't see any more unexpected bad news re: scandal.
As Crammer says, "I love accounting scandals" cause the market over-reacts and gives a great buying opportunity. (He's long on NT also as of late.)
It's a crap shoot any way you cut it.

...interesting to talk about, but please don't invest real money based on anonymous recommendations on a "chat board".... You should always do REAL research, or recruit qualified help.stang said:Anyone sitting on anything and wanna share?

I am long on bbd.b as well. Much to my chagrin. That's one pig that only knows one direction - down.stang said:Been long on Nortel myself, since 2.80.
I like the risky ones, and a chance for a big gain.
Watching Bombardier, Tivo and Findwhat.
If you want risky, try wilan (win) on the TSE.
Could make you a pile of money, or more likely lose it all. From what I can tell, good product, terrible management.

Think this may just be in the states but...
MAHA, Neb. -- More and more Americans are receiving strange answering machine messages offering investment advice.
Experts told KETV-TV in Omaha that the calls are new to the Midwest, but Texas and Florida residents have received similar calls.
The television station said that a number of Omaha residents have reported what sounds like a wrong number -- a voice leaves a message on their answering machines offering a hot stock tip. The caller says the tip is a secret, and now people who have received the message are asking whether it is legitimate and legal.
Jan Pietrzak thought it was just a wrong number, but as she listened to the message on her answering machine her opinion changed.
"It was too hokey. Too long," Pietrzak said. "You wouldn't leave it on a machine if you didn't know the right number."
Here is what Pietrzak heard -- she kept the message saved on her machine:
"Hi Stef, it's Wendy. I looked for your old number and couldn't find it, but Brandi says this was your new one. Anyway, remember Evan, that hot stock exchange guy I'm dating? There's this company that's supposedly developed some zillion-dollar cancer testing and it's going to go up big this week."
The message goes on to give the company's stock symbol, then stresses that the information is secret.
"My Dad and I are going to be buying a bunch tomorrow and the only people I told was Sam and Ellen. It's kind of a secret," the message says.
Others report similar calls with different names.
Stock brokers say beware.
"It's obviously not genuine," said Tim Kalinsky, with Omaha's Quantum Advisors. "It's people having large blocks of stock, either drive the price up or (the stock is) thinly traded (and they want) to create liquidity."
Kalinsky said the best advice is just to have a good laugh about the message, then delete it.
One of the companies mentioned in the phone messages said it is aware of the messages and does not support them. A representative said the Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating because the messages might be illegal.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Stock tips?
No, I don't assume that about any individual investors. Moreover, most individual investors don't have the skills to truly research a company or investment (see Google... or, for that matter, Chesbar/Jaguar). By all means, discuss/share/tip away, and for those participating (and those lurking) PLEASE understand that INVESTING is much more than buying into anonymous recommendations and hype.
Good day.
Good luck in your search,

My warning was not intended to offend you - your friend assumes an awful lot about the financial accumen of the board's population that should NOT be taken for granted (after all, it can't be said of the broader population, which is why so many disclosures are required for research and promotional material...).stang said:Exactly.

It took a dive yesterday from a buck ninety to a buck seventy
I think it's going to go down more before it rises again

Usually, that is a sign to get the hell out.faveone said:still.. it has gone up over 70% in 1 month !
If a stock has a big quick run up, then faulters, that USUALLY means it's out of gas.
It will probably end up right where it was before the run up.
I would suggest you watch it very closely and if it doesn't reverse course and head north, dump it.
Take it from someone who has learned the hard way.
One of the best contrarian indicators is the Globe and Mail's weekly stars and dogs report.
Short the stars and buy the dogs.

bbking said:... Now having said that - for a good high risk stock. currently in the low to mid .50, has very good shot at 2.00 to 2.40 before the end of the year - try JNI on Toronto.
Sommerset, is that you? (just kidding... but it sure would explain a lot...).
"High risk" fits... can't say the word "good" is an easy association with Chesbar/Jaguar, though. Single property in a volatile area that has been owned and abandoned by many others, requires "new" (read:unproven) technology to theoretically be feasible (but that was before the astronomical development costs estimated), and a board/management team with more bankers and consultants than geologists or miners.
And, according to their own timelines, they'll still be just looking (quite hopefully) down holes in the next few years - far from being a "mid-size" nickel producer.
Good luck, though (...or, whatever gamblers say to each other these days...).

Try BBBJ.TO or MSOG.NSE, even DFK.FTSE is a pretty good buy at a 69 high (or is that low?). Greek shares are 'back' again, making 'tracks' into the investment community.
#3 Your risk tolerance should not exceed your comfort level of losing the money.
#4 Always use a stop loss to avoid disasterous traps and to lock in some gains.
I always laugh when I hear some idiot say "It is not a loss if I don't sell"
The loss is not finalized but it's current existence is simply reality.
I also shake my head when I hear of all the potential gains people never cashed in.
