LOL at DANG. I don't trust Chinese companies whether they ipo's or RTO's.

I'm long BAC and AAPL and think they'll be fine in 2012. BUT, I'm expecting a world wide economic and monetary collapse in 2012, so I'd be short selling in 2012. It's sad but look at the big picture, we are headed for another collapse.

I am pretty bullish on that stock for 2012, probably more so than any other. I noted a very "thick" range at 22-24. The 15ema being essentially at the 24 level and the 50ma being at the 22 level on the weekly. I personally would interpret those as psychological support levels, as well as technical levels. Over the past 9 or 10 years every time the price had made a successful entry above the 24 level it has proceeded by tapping the ~ 28 level. I calculated the 24-28 range as being a "likely" place for consolidation on the weekly. After it establishes above the ~ 28 range I saw the 40 level as being the next important resistance. 

 

I am personally under the impression that, assuming nothing retarded happens, MSFT, GOOG, and INTC will be the hot stocks for speculation. Just my opinion though.

I think BAC is going to be one of the biggest make or break stocks, my problem with it is that everybody is convinced that if you buy it below $5, there is no way you can possibly lose if you have a 2-5yr time horizon.

 

If this is the case, then why is the stock still selling in the $5 range now?

For the sake of our economy,lets hope it on the "make" side.bs_help.gif  Here's one thing that baffles me.The other day,someone purchased $400 million of BAC at 5.81. You would think that such a large buy at one time would have vaulted the pps. What gives?

I'm a longtime holder of EEP - that dividend is just too good.


My other likely champion stocks of 2012 include:
-FFIV.  They just keep getting stronger and stronger
-NUAN.  It'll either get bought out by one of the "big 3" for a huge premium, or else explode all on its own.  This one is a no-brainer.
-F.  Too much value here.
-DE.  It just never ends with them.
-SNCR (this one is flying completely under the radar).  People are going to wish they knew about this company.
-UNIS.  This is kind of a board favorite that just never gets over the hump.  I think next year it actually starts doing something, and I might revisit them.

-I've already got Facebook shares, so I'm hoping they finally go public so I can ride that wave and start wondering when to dump em.

-I'm hoping for an IPO from Bloom Energy in 2012

-I'm also shooting up prayers that when things get real bumpy next year, ISRG gets unfairly beaten down to a value level.
-I also think STX enjoys a boom year.  The flooding in Thailand really took a dump on Western Digital, but STX was basically unscathed by it.  THis is going to give them a competitive advantage going into next year that should boost sales significantly and create quarterly surprises.

 

 

**Like many, I'm predicting a very rocky 2012.  I'll be shorting the market heavily.  Amongst them will undoubtedly be CSCO, GMCR, CRM, GRPN, TSLA, Expedia, WYNN, and ZYNG

Man, the way its looking right now, SPXU

 

chart.ashx?t=SPXU&ty=c&ta=1&p=d&s=l

 

Warning: This is a leveraged inverse ETF, meaning that if the S&P 500 drops, this is golden.

 

If the S&P 500 goes flat or slightly up, this is a terrible hold.

post #16 of 21

F

BAC

MGM

FAS

 

some are risky, but I'm a risk taker banana.gif

post #17 of 21

WHAT I LIKE:

 

LSG      (NYSEAMEX:LSG) Canadian cheapie goldminer (note not LSG.TO as thats the Canadian ticker the nyseamex makes it a stock on the US exchange)

 

DNMD   Diamond foods, bashed down but we are talking 2012.

 

CLNE    Clean Energy Fuels corp, again bashed down a bit give it 3-6 months.

 

ISRG     Intuitive Surgical, this is just wishfull thinking but I get filled with hope when I see tech like this.

 

 

Note: Don't follow my trades, you will lose money... guaranteed.

 

Member predictions:

 

Rando will beat Stockjock to 1,000 karma   (heheee)

 

07media will get the recognition he deserves and get Analyst status

 

SJE and Kev will give in and I will get the decimal point between the 4 and 6 on my karma....

I used to trade SPXU but then I found out about SRTY which is a 4x inverse ETF to the Russell. SPXU is only 3x. Since Monday SRTY has gone from $13.10 to around $15.50 today. It's great but can be horrible if the market picks up and this tanks.
post #19 of 21
What I've noticed is that whenever SRTY gets in the $13 range it's a must buy. I've never seen it below $13 and it'll hit 13 when the markets have been rallying for too long. So not only is this thing a great thing to own in a bear market, it's also an indicator for when the markets will go down again.

SRTY is a 3x inverse etf. whoever told you it was 4x lied.
