MONDAY I WILL REVEAL YOU THE BEST INVESTMENT FOR ABOUT 15% PER MONTH

Depomed (NASD:DEPO) is a speculative stock. I give it a target of 5$ within the next month. Long it!

DEPO closed today at 3.65. At this level itis at its mean price. Long it by the end of Friday because on Monday e report will come out and the stock price will rise about 15%

Currently am i DEPO which was purchased at 4.26. I will sold DEPO next Friday due to options. My recommendation is go LONG for ETFC before the 1.90 level. The company will post profit on October 27th.

LONG

I'm currently out of ETFC. The stock is about 1.70$. The question that i have is one: Why does the options for ETFC expiring at october 17th? And why ETFC will report results on October 19th in the after hours just 1 trading day after the options expiration??
Please fell free to answer my query.

DRYS closed today at 6.51!

I went short with etrade @ 1.40 today and bought back dryships (DRYS) in the after hours at 6.11. Since DRYS is an extremely volatile stock i will write options for it for August at 7

Etrade closed at 1.50 today!

MSFT microsoft is in my opinion trading at very low ranges. Microsoft will soon release Windows 7 which i believe will make the price of the stock pass 30$.

Dont buy it yet. Just wait for another 1-2 weeks. I will update you very soon.

Dear all,

I will soon exit ETFC position. Now am long but when it reaches 2$ i will go short. By my estimations 2$ will be achieved by the end of the month

Dear all,
Etrade today got up by 0.12 or 8,45% with a quite huge volume of 94 millions shares traded.
This is just the beggining. Look at my older posts about etrade (ETFC). Etrade is healthy and kicking and in the next few days is going to reach 2$. But be carefull!! When it reaches that price just write covered calls against it for August at a strike price of 2$.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- E-Trade Financial (ETFC 1.36, +0.07, +5.43%) reported a second-quarter net loss of $143 million, or 22 cents a share, late Wednesday. That compares to a net loss of $95 million, or 19 cents a share, a year ago, the discount brokerage firm said. E-Trade set aside $405 million in provisions for loan losses in the second quarter, down $49 million from the previous quarter. Total net charge-offs in the quarter were $386 million, an increase of $53 million from the prior quarter, E-Trade added. E-Trade shares rose 2.9% to $1.40 in after-hours action on Wednesday

The estimations are about -0,31 $ per share. I believe it will be much less loss at about -0,15$

Etrade (ETFC) will report its 2nd quarter results on wednesday july 22 in the afterhours.
Get ready to see Etrade exploding!

DRYS closed today at 6.04.

ETFC, Etrade financial stock will overshoot at the release of the 2nd Q results! Long!!!

Look hoe the stock trades! ?It's worthless!

Aig closed today at 13.10 thus -0.65 or 4.73%. Aig tubled a lot since the reverse stock split. The real value of Aig should be 0.65$. Poor Aig...

E*TRADE FINANCIAL Corporation (NASDAQ: ETFC) announced that it will report its second quarter 2009 financial results after the close of the U.S. financial markets on Wednesday, July 22, 2009. Buy immediately etrade at 1.20$ because the overshooting is coming before the results!

Alaska's Sarah Palin, little more than halfway into her first term as governor, announced Friday that she not only wouldn't be seeking re-election in 2010, but that she would be stepping down and handing over the reins of office to the state's lieutenant governor.

U.S. markets today tumble amid independence day and due to release of the economic data specially the unemployment rate. The Dow Industrials shed 223.32 down 2.63%, NASDAQ tumble for -2.67%(minus 49 points) and S&P closed with losses of 2.91% down 26.91 points

Seven banks were closed by regulators on Thursday, including six in Illinois, bringing the total for 2009 to 52 as the U.S. banking system remains under pressure from rising unemployment and record foreclosures.

Rudi Dornbusch has taught us a lot. Watch the application of his theory for the markets in the upcoming article next week on investadvisor.blogspot.com

Etrade financial ended up 4.65%. Strong buy immediately!

Etrade Financial (ETFC) is currently trading at 1.33 up 3%. Go long (strong buy) before it is late. Etrade will be reaching 2$ in the next one month.

Yesterday AIG approved an 1-20 reversed stock split. Already the stock is currently down -20% in the premarket. This desperate move will be the conviction for AIG and soon we will hear the reports about filing for bankruptcy!

Well, things don't look very well for the insurer as it continues to sell it's assets like there is no tomorrow. In an effort to raise funds to repay its dept, AIG sells a lot of its property. I believe we will soon see AIG as AIGQ and get delisted and move to the OTC. Currently trading at 1.34 $. The fall of the giants is inevitable.

Nikkei is currently up 193 units thus 1.98% amid weaker yen by which it supported gains by japanese exporters.

Etrade currently trading at 1.30. After the previews days tumble, it started to recover and soon i believe it will go to a higher level. My target price for Etrade is 2$ for the next one month.

If you observe the chart, that shows the slow stochastics graph, i'm pretty confident that the stock price will move upwards the following days.

My advise? At 1.85-1.90 write a covered call option against the shares you own for a strike price of 2$ expiring in august.

Today Madoff has been sentenced to 150 years in prison from a federal court for the biggest ponzi scheme in history.
I believe now the ponzi scheme should be renamed to MADOFF SCHEME.

Dear friends and readers. I believe most of you know well a market manipulator and busher and pumper. I must say that he succeded of what he have done so far. I also got on his trap due to one lame profesor of me in university, I would like to inform all of us that this manipulator always projects stocks that are over the counter (OTC) or even in the pink sheets (PK). He will be releasing a video he would like to call it a documentary about hyperinflation and staff like that. Yes, i agree that the economy has a huge problem but this will never lead to hyperinflation. The busher says that you must invest on gold mine stocks. Yes gold has been a moderate winner but NOT with huge gains. My opinion: go covered calls for the whole year. Do not listen to the bashers. I am an investor just like all of you

Bernard Madoff is scheduled to be sentenced by District Court Judge Denny Chin in New York on Monday. The former non-executive chairman of the NASDAQ who pled guilty to an 11-count criminal complaint, admitting to defrauding thousands of investors, and was convicted of operating a Ponzi scheme that has been called the largest investor fraud ever committed by a single person, of almost 65 billion $, is expected to a maximum sentence of 150 years in prison and $170 billion in restitution.

The key report next week will be the June reading on the health of the labor market, which has seen a steep downturn over the past 18 months amid expectations that unemployment will soon be over 10%.

"Since January last year, over 6 million jobs have been lost, and there is no indication that the layoffs will end any time soon," noted Millan Mulraine, economics strategist at TD Securities, in a note to clients.

The best that can be hoped for is that the pace of job losses continues to ease. After peaking at 741,000 in January, job losses moderated to 345,000 in May.

Economists are split on whether firms will cut payrolls by more than this benchmark.

The median forecast of economists surveyed by MarketWatch is for job losses to decline by 325,000, a slight improvement from May.

With Independence Day observed on Friday, the numbers will be released on Thursday at 8:30 a.m. Eastern.

The unemployment rate is expected to rise to 9.6%, not such a big jump compared to prior months.

Several analysts are skeptical, however.

James O'Sullivan, economist at UBS Securities, said that job losses could total over 400,000 in June as college students find it difficult to get work.

On the more optimistic side, Nigel Gault, chief US economist at IHS Global Insight, predicted job losses of 300,000.

"We're laying the groundwork to a bottom in activity in the third quarter," Gault said.

DryShips Inc. (DRYS) owns, through its subsidiaries, a fleet of 40 drybulk carriers comprised of seven Capesize, 29 Panamax, two Supramax, and two newbuilding drybulk vessels, as well as two ultra-deep-water semi-submersible drilling rigs and two ultra-deep-water newbuilding drillships. The Company's drybulk fleet carries a variety of drybulk commodities including coal, iron ore, and grains, bauxite, phosphate, fertilizers and steel products. DryShips Inc. employs its drybulk vessels under period time charters, on bareboat charters, in the spot charter market and in drybulk carrier pools. Its subsidiaries include Ocean Rig ASA, DrillShips Investment Inc. and Primelead Shareholders Inc.



Currently Dryships has a 52 week low of 2.72 a high of 84.73. The last 3 months the stock trades at a range of 5-10$. Last friday it closed at 6.06$. Thats the ideal price to buy this stock and write immediately a covered call against it. For a july 18th covered call at a strike price of 7$ has a 0.20 $ per share. if it reaches 7$ the the total gain will be 1.14$ per share. Thus having just 1000 shares of that stock, in just 20 days you can have a quite remarkable gain. If it doesnt reach the 7$ strike price, then your position will be closed without selling any share but having a gain of 0.2 per share (the premium).

I will be posting an extrelemy volite stock this weekend that i believe is ideal for a covered call strategy.

Another session looks like choppy. Dow Jones is now in the red while Nasdaq struggles to stay in the green.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- U.S. stocks opened lower on Thursday, after the government reported an unexpected rise in claims for unemployment in the latest week, a day after the Federal Reserve stated continued worries over the economy but didn't signal any plans to boost or curb liquidity

Well Etrade has crushed since last week. The discount of the offering of its share was at $1.10. The offer has now closed. Now the stock trades at $1.24. Thats the perfect time to go long. And the reason is that Etrade is a cyclical stock meaning that is quite volatile. Etrade announces 2Q results at july 27th. The loss will be lower than the previous quarter meaning that the stock will overshoot once again but the rise will not last for long.
So the best strategy is to buy that stock right now and when it announce the results of 2Q write covered calls for August. That is a preservative action but will ensure you high returns.


This is my personal opinion and does not represent the market's analysts thoughts.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- As the Dow Jones Industrial Average marked its fourth straight loss Wednesday, member Boeing remained a drag, while Oracle aided the tech sector and investors lost their taste for Supervalu.

The Dow industrials dropped 23.05 points, or 0.3%, to 8299.86, their first close below 8300 in a month. They now have fallen seven of the last eight sessions for a loss of 499.40 points, or 5.7%. The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index rose 5.84 points, or 0.7%, to 900.94. The Nasdaq Composite Index gained 27.42, or 1.6%, to 1792.34, its biggest point and percent gain since June began.

The Federal Reserve concluded a two-day meeting Wednesday, leaving interest rates unchanged as expected, but shifting some of its post-decision sentiment. "The Fed's statement downgraded the risk of deflation and provided a modest upgrade in its assessment of the economy," said Michael Sheldon, chief market strategist with RDM Financial Group. "But the Fed also said that overall the economy remains weak, although the pace of contraction has been slowing."

Boeing continued its descent, dropping $2.55, or 5.8%, to $41.32 following a 6.5% decline Tuesday after again delaying the first flight of its 787 Dreamliner. JPMorgan said Wednesday the setback will likely push down Wall Street's per-share earnings views for 2009 and 2010.

Oracle (Nasdaq) rose 1.39, or 7%, to 21.26. Fiscal fourth-quarter profit declined 7.2% as the stronger dollar and continuing economic weakness weighed on revenue and earnings, but stronger-than-expected new license sales and continuing cost management helped the software giant beat Wall Street expectations

Supervalu dropped 1.88, or 12%, to 13.81, by far the S&P 500's biggest percentage decliner. The grocery store chain sees its fiscal first-quarter earnings per share "substantially below" analysts' expectations as it lowers food prices to combat its high cost image.

PetSmart (Nasdaq) rose 82 cents, or 4.1%, to 20.80. The pet supplies retailer more than tripled its quarterly dividend - to 10 cents a share from 3 cents - and authorized a $350 million share buyback, using cash it has amassed as it slowed rapid expansion and generally fared well during the recession.

Darden Restaurants dropped 1.06, or 3.2%, to 31.94. Fiscal fourth-quarter earnings rose 21%, but the restaurant operator doesn't see recovery in the next year.

Discover Financial Services rose 45 cents, or 4.9%, to 9.63. Fitch Ratings affirmed its issuer-default ratings on the credit-card company and its main banking unit, but lowered the entities' individual ratings, saying core operating earnings would remain under pressure until 2010.

Monsanto lost 3.14, or 4%, to 76.16. Fiscal third-quarter earnings fell 14% as cooler, wetter weather and increased competition lowered revenue at the company's Roundup and related herbicide operations.

AutoZone fell 5.41, or 3.5%, to 148.80. Eddie Lampert-controlled ESL Partners disclosed that it sold outright 454,153 shares of AZO stock and distributed 2,578,742 shares to partners in one of its funds.

AES rose 95 cents, or 9.9%, to 10.58. Citing appealing share value and relatively secure earnings per share growth, Barclays Capital upgraded the energy producer's stock to overweight from equalweight.

Freeport-McMoran Copper & Gold gained 1.62, or 3.4%, to 48.80. Rub some of the smudges off of the stock's recent slide and there's some shine to the metals mining company, said FBR Research in boosting shares to outperform from market perform.

Sunoco dropped 73 cents, or 3.1%, to 22.89, and Valero Energy lost 53 cents, or 3.2%, to 16.03. Oppenheimer Equity Research cut the refiners' shares to perform from outperform, citing a deteriorating industry outlook of low margins caused by high oil prices and weak demand.

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- A decrease in future orders at Nike Inc. sent shares of the athletic footwear giant down nearly 5% late Wednesday, while Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. bounced higher after the retailer's quarterly results came in brighter than Wall Street's projection.
