Stock tip
Just passing this along, do your own research.
Hemispherx BioPharma, Inc. (HEB) The results for an FDA decision on Ampligen will be given on the 25th, (since the 25th is on memorial day it could be friday or tuesday) if approved their stock could see a nice jump next week. Again, do your research but I got in at about .80 a share and its at 1.90 now.
Check out CTIC as well.
Tony, who do you trade with?
I was actually just looking at it. I have been thinking of picking up a couple hundred shares.
I use Sharebuilder but I'm thinking about switching to USAA though.
HEB is a gamble, if they don't get FDA approval the stock will tank. If they do.. 300% return isn't far fetched. Look at VNDA on May 6th I believe.. went from $1 a share to $10 overnight just on approval alone. I'm not saying that is to be expected here but do look for nice gains.
I just opened a Sharebuilder account, and applied for options; T.Rowe Price for all other funds.
Thanks for the tips. I've been eyeing a few stocks, but I am still in the education phase. Scary ass me.
Sometimes you just have to step out there and do it. I'm a hands on kind of guy rather than read and apply so I've taken some hits but I'm getting the hang of it now. Options I'm still trying to grasp before I jump in, I get the gist of it but not enough to throw money at it.Originally Posted by AirMax95
I hear Forex is also a good way to go for investing, I haven't researched that either.
Education is the key. I make decent money, but not enough to piss away due to lack of knowledge.
As for Forex, I use Babypips.com for my education. It is a VERY good site.
I can PM you a very good thread that has helped me along the way.
Definitely shoot me that pm
mind sending that link my way also?
Dumped one of my other stocks today for a respectable profit (25%) and picked up 212 shares of HEB. They are looking good for approval right now so I'll take my chances.
haha been so long since i've seen a stock thread here. good luck to you all
What do you all think about investing in GM at this point in time? Any hope for a turn around?
Try not. Do or Do not.
No chance for a turn around until they dump the unions. Which means no turn around for the next 4 years at least.
Actually GM would've been a good investment at $1 a share last week, it doubled but is now trading at $1.46.. would've been a big risk but one that doubled your investment. If the bailout comes in the form of more federal funding as proposed it could have a big payoff.
My advice; if you have expendable money that you don't mind losing you could see a 400% return on investment.. possibly more of GM turns things around. But should they go bankrupt you will lose it all.
Thanks Tony, I was thinking about picking up 100 shares but I am still a tid bit nervous with the market as a whole. I think there a better odds in Vegas at times.
Try not. Do or Do not.
Not necessarily. If they go bankrupt, restructure, and get back on their feet their stock will only grow.
I wont touch any of the Big 3 until they dump the UAW though. As long as the UAW is there none of these companies is a legitimate longterm option.
So did the drug get approved?
I've been watching the wires, but I havent seen anything. They are also working with the Jap govt now also, so that will help their stock some more.
How do you like those numbers today? Hitting 2.57 and the day isn't over.
No word on approval, the company said the FDA's response would be delayed a couple of weeks at the most.
I did exactly that at 2.15. Might buy back in if it drops down to $1.80
How much do you usally invest at a time?
For this stock I bought in with a little under $400. I got 212 shares at 1.77 a share.
Damnit.......I did pull the trigger.
Depends, I wanted to buy 1000 shares up front but ended up with 600 shares @ .80, and bought 400 more @ 1.20. With approval its estimated to go between $9.00 and $21.00 with the actual estimation being around $15 a share.
DO NOT use sharebuilder.. I'm switching my securities over the next month or so
Tony...Jimmy, PM sent
Some other positions I'm holding that could pay off nicely. GNTA, INAR, BIPH, NEPH and as a very very long shot XKEMQ. (100k shares)
As always.. do your research. CTIC should have a good month, currently holding 1000 shares there as well.
Thanks for the link, I would LOVE to see that upper limit in the next couple of weeks.
Hitting 3.00 a share today, on one hand i want to be upset I sold 400 shares @ 2.15.. I'd have about $300 extra but I'm riding on free shares right now so I can't be too upset.
AAPL..... Looks to be like a good one. I watched them over the winter and they went as high as 220 i belive. Maybe with new annocument they will go higher

I'm going to ride it at least until the end of the week. I did put in a limit order thats good for tomorrow though, just to protect a majority of my profits.
and it will, they all do
"The 1911 is a collection of subsystems that must work together. Each part must be prepared and fit properly not only in and of itself, but also with regard to the other parts with which it must operate for the gun to function and appear as desired."
I sold off half of what I had left at $4.50.. timing was perfect cause it tanked as low as $2.40, thank god for limit orders.
I'm in for the ride. I bought in on Friday and more today, both under $3. If this things gets near the $7-$10 mark....I am out!
Good luck guys.
Got some balls man.
If she goes up from here it will be from good news i bet.
"The 1911 is a collection of subsystems that must work together. Each part must be prepared and fit properly not only in and of itself, but also with regard to the other parts with which it must operate for the gun to function and appear as desired."
Lol, no.....just after tons of reading, I have faith that the approval is coming. If I get spooked I will take the speculation upswing and get out with minimal profit, or minimal loss.
Been there done that. Have fun

Gotta have fun! Trading and being a scared pansy is no fun at all!
Are you in on the stock?
