ok

i'm making stupid moves. this blog should be called chrislosesmoneyin08 cuz that's what's happening. let's just say:

i bought verizon (vz) on 2/14. oops.
i bought boeing (ba) on 2/14. oops so far, but i think it'll be ok someday.
i bought jones soda co. (forgot ticker and i'm too lazy to look it up) on 2/14. i like it, but so far, minor oops.
what else did i screw up on...let's see...
i still have gamestop (gme) and i love it even if it's at 45. it's my baby.
don't even talk to me about nubv or tclt. i'm not interested.
i sold tj maxx (tjx) today because it poked out above my basis, so i made some $ on that, thank god.
don't even talk to me about pvh. that fucker needs to come up like woah.

suuuuuuuuuck. isn't it ironic that just about all my other accounts are way up...like my roth ira i have with fidelity. i threw it in fnarx and it's up 10.45%. wtf! i'm considering taking everything in my zecco account and putting it in vipsx, where i have my regular savings. all inflation makes that fund a very happy baby.

checkup

hey, remember the time i sold chipotle (cmg) and then said i wanted to buy it again maybe? it closed at 107.73 and fell after hours to 106.60. i'm glad i bailed when i did - even if it did pop back to the price at which i bought it originally before plummeting down 12.5% or so. should have shorted it! but i don't short...too risky for me since i'm so stupid, etc. but still i should have shorted the bitch. plus, i made some curry so i haven't been to chipotle in a while...which i think goes for some other people too. it's too expensive. i don't want it until it comes down significantly, which i think it still will with the price of food rising to the challenge of inflation. just watch. short it if you'd like. i'll just watch while you make money and i sit in cash (which i'm in mostly right now because why not?).

i'm still wiping my ass with my shares of techalt (tclt) for now, thanks to the company's dilution of their stock. yeah - thanks a lot, techalt. it's been treading water, which i think it'll do for another few weeks before popping its head above negative for some air - at which point you'll see me jumping ship so fast it'll be CRAZY! but, ok, i'll keep a few thousand shares in so that i have something to cash out when it goes to $1. :)

i put limits on phillips van heusen (pvh) to sell when it hits $60. wishful thinking? maybe. but then again, i don't see it as being impossible. if the economy doesn't slow that much, the market might be willing to price it thusly due to the large buyback that pvh is finishing up at the end of the month and their announcement that they're ahead of earnings estimates for fourth quarter. i think we could see some other good news. let's put it this way, my calvin klein underwear doesn't have any holes and it's very comfortable, thank you. so, i want to buy some more. and so do american consumers. i still like pvh. if we see major recession, then this will be a long-term hold for me because it would be something that would come back nicely...to 60 again...sure, why not?

yes, gamestop (gme) is causing some slight discomfort lately. not going to sell it yet tho. i might consider it later on tho. i can't tell you how unhappy i am with the fact that i hold so much in retail. i have nothing but retail and fuckin tclt.

did NOT put a limit order to sell tx maxx (tjx) because of their buy back, etc. i think that in a recession this stock will be fine. it's a strong mother fucker to say the least. it's been around for EVER and i think the market could start pricing it irrationally...in a good way. so when this thing shoots to like 50 or 80 or something way out of line, i'll jump out and collect the proceeds. but i honestly have no idea where it could go. hell, i'd be happy with 37 or 40. shoot..

fucken techalt

yes, my ass is being served to me with my 60% loss in tclt as of late. i'm at that point where i want to bail, but shit that's a big loss. otherwise, my portfolio is just dandy, thank you. what's your call?

i sold out of ivot at a slight loss (but not too bad at all) - because i didn't want to have so much in penny stocks - and picked up some more pvh at 40.98. this is more like it.

go, gamestop (GME), go.

january tally

how did i do in january? so far, i'm down like $80 because of my fucking penny stocks, dammit. let this be a lesson to me...and to you. i'm down 50% on IVOT (why i bought that, i don't know...but i only put like $90 into it, so i don't really give a damn) and i'm down like 33% on TCLT but i still like it. i honestly think i'll be able to sell this well above where i bought it..maybe even at $1 so i can pay off my car. by the way, did i tell you? i picked up another 3,125 shares of this so that i'll have $13,125.00 when it goes to a dollar, which is roughly what i owe on my car, which i bought in may, 2007. so it might not go that high...well whatever. i think it'll go higher than my 10,000-share purchase at $0.024 and my 1325-share purchase at 0.016. that is....it better. :)

so far, i'm right about ameritrade, AMTD. then again, i could have chosen any financial stock, for the most part, and i would have come out ahead...especially e*trade, ETFC...tho i think it'll get bought out after all this super bowl advertising madness. i mean, let's face it...you know they just spent all of the debt they could possibly accumulate on that super bowl ad and they know it's not going to do SHIT for the company. it's like they're just pissing money away. they should either be bought out way low, like countrywide was going to be, or they should just fold and call it quits. plz n ty. though i could have made money with this stock...and a lot of it...i don't want to own this tragic, tragic mess of a company, thank you very much.

i got cold feet and sold my whopping three shares of chipotle, CMG because i'm a fuckin idiot. i thought with the price of whole foods going up, CMG's future earnings might come down a bit. i only ended up down like $10 overall, so it's not the end of the world or anything. plus, i could be right about this...but i still love the company, so i kinda still want in. even if i'm right.

fuckin microsoft, MSFT, why are you trying to spend everything you made on your xboxes to buy this piss and shit yahoo? you and everyone else knows it won't give you any edge against google. you're just not cool enough. you brought me down like $20. i'm glad i didn't put more into you. if this works out and you come back up, then forget what i said. you're a good little stock.

speaking of which, i almost bought a singular share of google, GOOG,at around 570 or so (i think it was) on thursday midday. thank god i went on that shopping spree earlier and voted against it because i used up all my 10 free trades in january and i didn't want to be too tech heavy - because it went snorkeling the next day. it's still underwater. if you've seen google, will you tell it to come out of there? he'll get pruney fingers.

tj maxx, TJX, is doing well. i picked up a few shares of phillips-van heusen, PVH, because i like calvin klein underwear. it's just so comfy. it's making me a few bucks, so why not.

i'm up on boeing, BA, and that's to be expected. i bought in around 79. i have a feeling that, if all goes well, the market will be very kind to this stock especially. it should be trading at least 20 dollars higher than it is.

which brings me to my largest holding, my golden child, my baby, gamestop, GME. why do i love this stock so much? i just love the store. i love my video games, but i'm too afraid of the ever-so-wishy-washy sony, SNE, and i think microsoft, MSFT, is too diluted to be called a video game stock, and i can't buy square enix , SQNXF because...well i don't know why, but i can't buy it on scottrade or zecco...even tho i want to. anyway, this stock is up more than all my other stocks. i expect it to reach back up to 62 and then push through to 75 or 80 if all looks good. i bought in around 49, so i would appreciate the healthy profit.

though i'm happy with the stocks i have chosen, i feel like i own too many different stocks. i know i'm not properly diversified. i don't own any oil in this portfolio because i have a large chunk of my roth ira and 401(k) in FNARX and FSESX, among other things. i like retail and financials right now...for this portfolio. an insane part of me wants to sell out some GME and MSFT and buy something really retarded like intel or tata motors. i just might do it...but i'll probably just be chicken shit and sit on the sidelines while i watch it go up and up. pooooooooo.

shopping spree

bought 10,000 shares of Techalt, Inc. (TCLT) earlier when it was down. i think it'll keep going. i'm thinking it'll go to $1.00 at which point i will take my 3,900% gain and payoff my car.

bought boeing (BA), GameStop (GME) again (i just can't get enough...i love the place...have 5 more shares set to buy as soon as it comes down to 49 like i think it will before it goes back up. if it doesn't, then meh...i just don't make as much as i will otherwise. this shit's going to 70 or maybe even 75. quote me. help out by buying all your video games there), iVoice Technology (IVOT) (no, i don't know why), more Microsoft, more Chipotle (though I don't think i should have), more Ameritrade (keep it coming), and more TJ Maxx (because america's a cheap whore, let's face it)
