no, I don’t have any money in the market, other than my 401k. But I just got my 1st 1/4 bonus check and am itching to do something with it. I just don’t know what I want to do with it yet. ---

I just don’t know what I want to do with it yet. What kind of term are you looking for? I am taking advantage of it while i can because by June when i am stateside again i won’t be able to monitor the market during the day anymore so i am looking for some long term performers. I already have some mutual funds. But i think im just going to pull more back to cash and just put more down on a house maybe. > [@Joe](#): > > Not Philip Morris 🙂 > > Keep up the good work, smokers > I really couldn’t think of a product less vulnerable than one where the majority of the customers are addicted. I am actually making some money today as well. I read before that during a “recession” a safe bet is always booze, cigs, and gaming lol. They actually thrive in bad economic conditions. “Honey I lost my job today, go grab me some lotto, a case of Genny, and some Reds, NOW BITCH!!!” ---

> [@cougarspeed](#): > > Of just what i put into today? > C and UBS just incase there was a two day rally. C is doing well for the time being. My other stuff is doing ok right now. I just sold 750 shares of C @ $25 today. I bought in at $18.00. Good day so far. Now just wait for the damn SIRI to merge so i can take some more profit. I also kicked myself for selling AAPL at $140. ---

STI is finally sucking less the last couple days. I bought them in the fall to hold because I think they’re ripe to be taken over, but I don’t like seeing red on my gain/loss chart ---

I also kicked myself for selling AAPL at $140. Ill say it’s good day you certainly pocketed a chunk of change. I was going to sell at $25 but was greedy so i will see what it does for the day. But i am considering picking a financial to hold for a few months to see how things go. I have been holding on a good amount of SIRI since November. I am still undecided to what i will do with it. I think on the annuncement from the FCC i will let 50% go and leave the rest to find out how it does in the next year or two. ---

I was keeping my eyes on it for a while and got in right after the DOJ announcement. I also made a really risky decision on TMA(Thornburg Mortgage) on the 2nd extension of their magin calls. They finally fulled it thru to avoided BK, but the price didn’t move that much ☹ . Still holding on it to see how it goes. GL to you bro 🙂 ---

It was a nice not to see another big down day. Nice call on C don’t worry about Apple there are plenty of other places to get big returns. SIRI and XM won’t see major price movement any time soon … next 6 months. Short term we are still range bound If anything picking some select bank stocks now will pay off buy year end.
