Socialpicks, please fix this error 09/03/08
Can you please revise the percentage increase error in my stock picks? in my open stock picks, PROS is listed as n/a. this is because they completed a merger with Meadowbrook insurance Corp. the result of this merger would be that 40.6378% of my shares of PROS would be converted to cash=$8.12756 and 59.3622% of my shares of PROS would be converted to 2.5 shares of meadowbrook stock (7.02 a...

Re: Safety first! 08/31/08
only up. shoulda got on earlier.

Re: Why have i done so well? one word 08/12/08
sure, if that is how you view it. i see it differently, which is why i've made on over 30 stocks in the past 3 weeks an average of 8% (including LNY and CKXE--both 30% in 20 days). And about analysts, many of the deals i've picked have analysts who show positive support of the deal. Just because a stock trades below the takeover price, doesnt mean it is a bad stock. if you'll notice that i ...

Re: Tradeking - Get $100 Minimum Investment Per Order at Tradekin.. 08/08/08
im wondering if this is poor and cheesy guerilla marketing or just an odd stock pick

Re: Safety first! 08/08/08
only 3 dollars, are you crazy? Look at my calculations, i have em pegged at around 3.50-4.25 based on earnings and estimates. The reason you got crushed in the last 24 hours is because investors have mentally tied this stocks price to oil, causing it to fluctuate with the oil prices. but keep in there, and in less than a year you'll have a solid return

Re: Why have i done so well? one word 08/08/08
look at LNY today! killer! 10% gain, and it has shot past the 20% gained mark in just 17 days. that comes along with my CKXE pick, up 30% in 18 days! as i like to say with merger investing, "RIDE THE BULL"

Re: Why have i done so well? one word 08/07/08
Yes, the deals in the market today look like they have a harder shot at going through than in the market we had in the past. however, if a deal looks like it will result in a company which will generate a favorable amount of revenue, than the deal will go through, no matter what market, because there will be no doubt that the company can pay back whatever debt it raised to fund the deal. that...

Re: Cleveland Cliffs (CLF) with Blow Out Earnings 07/31/08
you should've jumped on when i did, lol. Anyways, have you seen WEL? I am truly the stock king

Re: Conservative investor? take the dividends 07/30/08
Actually, the cap gains tax will likely see a large increase in the next presidential administration and "letting the company decide when to give dividends" isnt a fair statement. if a company shows significant growth and their dividend trends with that growth, then there is a much better average gain on a dividend stock as opposed to a non-dividend.

Re: Why have i done so well? one word 07/30/08
The payoff does really truly result when the deal is completed. is that a problem?
