Sold the VLTC Wednesday morning after the open for right around $20 before it climbed all the way up to $21.75. Not often you make ~ 400% in 3 weeks on a position.

Cyberark and LaJolla had pretty good weeks. Shorted a little MSFT Friday before the bell as well.

Awesome show. Very well done.

Behold, boys!  This is how it is done.

If I could get one of those every 3 weeks, I'd probably retire.

Grabbed a couple hundred shares of SYMX today. Will probably be buying more if it falls some more off it's spike from a couple of days ago. Not a huge amount - I generally don't buy these low priced stocks heavily unless something very unusual is going on.

I don't really expect this one to be likely to shoot up too much too soon - more of a mid to longterm investment. But I have been wrong before.

I mentioned a few days ago buying Hertz in the mid 20's last year. I doubled down @ $21.75 a little earlier. They're up like crazy out of nowhere this afternoon on heavy volume - I suspect something may finally be getting done there.  

Closed out shorts on GE and IBM in the past couple of days.

NFLX is well over $600 now. I'd mentioned in that previous post that somehow got erased that I sold what little I had left when it popped above $530 last month. It keeps going higher though. 

On April 29, I bought a few bucks of PTBI. Added to it a bit yesterday. Will buy more if / when it cools off.

Also grabbed a little PBYI Thurs and Fri after a big selloff. Have owned this one before.

I told you so.

I told you so. 

That's good for you. I'll take the 500% I made over the last 2.5 years on it and put that $ elsewhere. It's gotten a little too bubbly for me...

[240 is Back]

great thread and advice, bay!

NFLX hit $675 today. Sold most of that PBYI when it dropped back below $200 at the end of the month, took a nice 15% profit. Been buying a little more of it lately under $150.

Looks like I got out of NFLX just a couple of months early.

VLTC has been in the dumps for the last several months, but today it is up more than 100%!  

Edit: ended the day up 144.86%!

I cancelled Netflix. Their service is horrible. I predict they will be out of business in less than three years.

Extract foot from mouth. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.    

Their service is still excellent.  It is three years later and not only are they still in business, their market cap is now more than $53 billion.  Had you purchased 100 shares of Netflix on July 24, 2012 (they day you posted your prediction) you would have spent $7,027.  Today that investment would now be worth $91,594.  That is a return of 1,203.47%.

Bay likey!

Yeah, it's supposedly worth something like $16.50-$17.50 on paper.

I made a nice trade on EFUT this week - bought a little of it in the upper $8 range Tues after it sold off hard from a big pop Monday. Bought a good bit more of it when it dropped lower in the $8 range Wed... Then sold it all yesterday at just under $16 when it popped up big again.

Have been doing really well on some of these small biotechs - buying a little of them on dips, buying a fair amount on hard dips, and selling some or all on the enevitable big jumps - Aquinox, KaloBios, Macrocure, LaJolla, etc. A little VRX on this recent big selloff...

 I enrolled in their Employee Stock Purchase plan for ten years and had a thousand shares by the time I left the company four years ago. Dumped them all on a day when the stock jumped and got six figures back.

I still believe their service and offerings suck. I"ll stick with the numerous programs I have available via cable.

Their movie list sucks.

I'll stick with the 1,203.47% gain from Netflix.  

And how much is your cable bill?  Netflix streaming and DVD is about $20 per month.  There is no better value for watching movies.

[HTexan]

Sling tv?

Cable, phone and internet bundle all premium services. For example, fastest DL speed, every calling feature and access to all premium channels around $180. Never have to wait to watch a movie and when I watch it there is no disc to skip and ruin my experience. Also, the streaming selection on Netflix sucks! Happy you made a few bucks off their stock, there service just isn't for me and millions of others.

62.3 million subscribers disagree with you.  Enjoy your premium cable bills!

Streaming, yeah, but you can get mostly anything on DVD.
