gobears 0 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Interesting comment about the month of June in minyanville.comOf the ten months leading up to the November Presidential election, the month of June has seen the most up months since 1950. All but two resulted in a gain for the SPX (Higher 12 out of 14).I bought some HRS Today after they were crushed following their statement that they weren't looking to sell.

June might not be so good if the financial carnage continues! But...it could provide another sick buying opportunity. Link to post Share on other sites

gobears 0 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Picked up EXTR (Extreme Networks) and OXPS (Options Express), two stocks that have been mentioned as buyout candidates. EXTR has drifted back down to where it was before the first news hit and OXPS has been in a nice slow uptrend. Link to post Share on other sites
Yoda 1 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Picked up EXTR (Extreme Networks) and OXPS (Options Express), two stocks that have been mentioned as buyout candidates. EXTR has drifted back down to where it was before the first news hit and OXPS has been in a nice slow uptrend.They are saying Nucor will buy somebody out with their newfound cash. I wish I could figure out which one. Unfortunately there were no less than 10 small cap steel stocks so no way in hell i'm educated to figure out which one they might buy. Maybe if I spent a ton of time on the balance sheets and cash flows I could figure out the likely best targets. But I still think i'd have a very small chance of being right. Though owning a bunch of steel stocks probably isn't a bad holding to have! </ramble> Link to post Share on other sites
CaneBrain 95 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 you know it is a bad day when a spike in oil prices causes all your stocks to drop....EVEN your oil stocks (Chevron and Exxon for me).I have got to stop checking the market every day. Link to post Share on other sites
Actuary 3 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I really really really ned to learn to take some off the table after a good mini run in markets like this.Foolishly I got into Regions Financial (a regional bank that's been beaten up badly, obv)In my eagerness, though, I did unload soem NatGas stock (EGN) the day the inventories came out. Bad move so far. I'm not botherd by missing the right time, as much as I"m bothered by not knowing what my style/.plan is.Sell winners, or chase gains?Get in early and leave early, or wait for confirmation and play the middle of the curves. (whether it's getting on or staying out for a while)I'm afraid I move to early usually.Hopefully SSGDX, my lone remaining significant play on Energy/Commodities will save me from a almost 3% loss across a diversified portfolio.ps.. Also, I need to keep more cash out; but hate not being fully invested during any decent up trend (goes back to my originally learning to "just put it all in Stock mutual funds and let it grow. Leave it alone") Link to post Share on other sites
