Writer0224 (2:10:19 PM): thats a lot of cash Writer0224 (2:10:34 PM): it coul drop to 0 the lawyers take all the $$ Writer0224 (2:10:42 PM): it is a huge gamble Bradford86 (2:10:56 PM): huh? Bradford86 (2:10:59 PM): lawyers? Writer0224 (2:11:26 PM): when a company goes bankrupt, the shareholders get basically 0 Bradford86 (2:11:34 PM): how does a company go bankrupt? Writer0224 (2:11:44 PM): 1st the owners strip it, then the attorneys, then the governement Bradford86 (2:11:56 PM): i thought that... to go bankrupt you have to owe people money? Writer0224 (2:12:00 PM): then the secured bondholders then the unsecured Writer0224 (2:12:17 PM): then the stockholders are last Writer0224 (2:12:48 PM): in the current economic climate in a foreign more lawless business climate, anything can happen Writer0224 (2:13:15 PM): just me worrying about my money Writer0224 (2:13:55 PM): that same 1400 could have bought dow Writer0224 (2:14:39 PM): with a "guaranteeed 11 percetn return Bradford86 (2:15:07 PM): it could be 12 by now Bradford86 (2:15:22 PM): it's pretty close Bradford86 (2:15:24 PM): 11.99 Writer0224 (2:16:26 PM): so explain why you prefer to play wild buffalo bill versus taking a strong company that will help lead the market back Bradford86 (2:16:50 PM): well Bradford86 (2:17:13 PM): i think nwd is less risky. Bradford86 (2:17:46 PM): they make a product that has a relatively constant demand Bradford86 (2:17:52 PM): are good at making this product Writer0224 (2:18:10 PM): 4th in the nation means they are dr pepper Bradford86 (2:18:14 PM): and are really cheap. Writer0224 (2:18:32 PM): not the market leader Bradford86 (2:18:40 PM): yep. Writer0224 (2:18:49 PM): the most likely outcome is they will get bought out Writer0224 (2:19:01 PM): but that is beside the point Writer0224 (2:19:23 PM): if you are trying to make good solid decisions, you need to question your choice this time Bradford86 (2:19:26 PM): the dividend is comforting. Writer0224 (2:19:56 PM): 12 percent annual return is doubling your money every 6 years plus the stock going up Bradford86 (2:20:20 PM): i dont think 12% return is enough to be satisfied right now.

Writer0224 (2:23:06 PM): well right now i figure you have at least 8,000 of my 16,000 in high risk securities Writer0224 (2:23:17 PM): when do you say "enough" Bradford86 (2:23:20 PM): risk is not knowing what you're doing Bradford86 (2:23:28 PM): do i know what i'm doing? maybe Writer0224 (2:23:51 PM): risk is knowing the market doesnt care about you and would just as soon take all your cash Bradford86 (2:23:58 PM): that's true as well. Writer0224 (2:24:36 PM): playing in the wading pool, as you are, is different that playing in the big pool Writer0224 (2:25:18 PM): but if you get some experience in penny stocks, and if you get lucky and one actually performs, then maybe you can get out of it unscathed Bradford86 (2:25:56 PM): well Bradford86 (2:26:03 PM): a lot of the reason i'm justifying penny stocks right now Bradford86 (2:26:10 PM): is because the market is down 50% Bradford86 (2:26:15 PM): penny stocks are down 95% Writer0224 (2:26:19 PM): ok Bradford86 (2:26:23 PM): if i think the market has bottomed Bradford86 (2:26:29 PM): and if i think that china is bottomed Bradford86 (2:26:38 PM): and china is going to lead this next year Writer0224 (2:26:44 PM): 8034 Bradford86 (2:27:21 PM): then if i can find chinese penny stocks that are undervalued, i should buy Bradford86 (2:27:49 PM): remember, buy on the gossip, sell on the fact Bradford86 (2:27:54 PM): that's the obama rally. Bradford86 (2:27:59 PM): people are selling the fact Writer0224 (2:29:58 PM): obama was a fact in november Bradford86 (2:30:23 PM): they sold then too Bradford86 (2:30:30 PM): remember? Writer0224 (2:30:31 PM): yep Bradford86 (2:31:37 PM): i would think penny stocks have less market correlation than normal stocks right? Bradford86 (2:32:01 PM): so, thinking that way, you'd be making your portfolio less risky by owning penny stocks Writer0224 (2:32:02 PM): most likely but they have been spiralling down too Bradford86 (2:32:08 PM): yep. Writer0224 (2:32:17 PM): here is the point... Bradford86 (2:32:24 PM): i could lose Writer0224 (2:32:26 PM): some risk is good Writer0224 (2:34:19 PM): and most rich guys will say that you are doing the right thing Writer0224 (2:34:23 PM): so we are seeing Bradford86 (2:34:37 PM): latief still believes in me Bradford86 (2:34:37 PM): haha Bradford86 (2:34:46 PM): he suggested another 15K Writer0224 (2:34:55 PM): take it Bradford86 (2:35:15 PM): no, he wants me to employ a buffet buy and soros sell strategy Writer0224 (2:35:27 PM): ok Bradford86 (2:35:28 PM): i need to work though that mentally before i can run it Writer0224 (2:35:33 PM): ok Writer0224 (2:35:39 PM): classes going ok? Bradford86 (2:35:45 PM): blah, prolly Writer0224 (2:35:52 PM): ok Bradford86 (2:36:15 PM): classes are an excuse to leave the house Bradford86 (2:37:26 PM): one thing is for sure Bradford86 (2:37:32 PM): someone is dumping nwd Writer0224 (2:37:59 PM): is it still dropping? Bradford86 (2:38:05 PM): they have dumped about 2M shares in the last 2 days so far Bradford86 (2:38:12 PM): usually the trading volume is 200K Writer0224 (2:38:53 PM): wow Bradford86 (2:38:58 PM): hopefully we can get another person to panic sell ghii today too. Bradford86 (2:39:08 PM): saves me $9.99 Writer0224 (2:40:25 PM): why do you want that? Bradford86 (2:40:57 PM): well the way orders are filled Bradford86 (2:41:12 PM): if you put in a limit order to buy 15000 shares at 0.076 Bradford86 (2:41:22 PM): and it fills that order over several days Bradford86 (2:41:33 PM): each day it fills it charges a commission Writer0224 (2:41:50 PM): ok Bradford86 (2:43:25 PM): wow, ameritrade is sucking at filling this order Bradford86 (2:43:41 PM): oh well. hopefully it goes Writer0224 (2:43:49 PM): whose account is it for?
