EXTR like this chart - similar to ACHN VMEM. Use weak opens and dips for low risk entries in anticipation of the 6 break

So I thought I deleted my buy order for $TSLA back in November. Went to my Scottrade account today to print out my 1099 and I guess I must have hit the wrong button. Up over 45% since my order went through.

VEEV finally in the green for me. Bought at 34, watched it drop to 28, now ~36. Moving up a little too fast though....
Thinking about getting out of my KORS Mar 80 calls once the stock hits 100....thoughts on this psychological barrier?
Yay for irresponsibility

Where do you guys do your research? I just put $ into my Ameritrade acct. I wanted to buy some funds and some individual stocks. Anyone like gdx? If I had the patience I would day trade stocks that have high volatility and try to make a few bucks each day I tried. Much easier said than done I'm sure but I have the $ to play with. It's just sitting there being unused

I put MYGN on my watch list on Sunday. Freaking FRX was on there as well after I read a tweet by @optionshawk about 5000 $90 calls being bought for January 2016.
That DDD exoskeleton sounds awesome. I love the medical aspects of this technology. Hope it really takes off.
As for research, I read charts mostly and if I want to know more about a company, I'll go on FinViz.com and Yahoo Finance to look up fundamentals quickly, what institutions own the stock, new articles, etc. I also subscribe to Barron's so I'll go on there and see if they have anything written up, and occasionally Investors.com to see how the stock is rated.
I sometimes check stock twits to get some retail sentiment but there's a lot of noise on there.

All I have now is my work 401K I put $ in. That includes Russell index funds, small cap fund and a retirement 2050 fund. I've only been in it a few years and have six figures in it already but it's nothing I can touch for a other 30+ years. I'm trying to invest work outside of money. I watch cnbc a lot and Cramer. I know people bash him but I don't mind him. If you're on tv every day you're bound to get some calls wrong. All I have outside of work now is a lot of Facebook I got a while ago and zgnx which got approved for the only pure hydrocodone product coming out next month actually. I just know Vicodin and hydrocodone in general was the #1 prescribed drug for years so I figured this night be worth a shot. Got a lot around $3 and its about $4.50 now. Was $5 a week ago. If I had the knowledge or more resources I would be buying more I'm just not sure where to get good tips and research. Ill look at the windows 8 thing though

And I'm doing this because I'm tired of my money making nothing in my savings accounts. I want to out money away each month and make it grow that way. Even if not for specific stocks I'd like to start putting money into etf's or funds of that nature. I deposited 15g into Ameritrade a few days ago and have yet to pull the trigger. Another thing I was wondering was buying work stock (Walgreens) at a 10% discount. I can do that and resell as long as I hold for 90 days. I've been watching the chart and I wanted to buy when it was 55 then last week it went on a tear to mid 60s. I don't see any reason for it to go down though. Good year and making $ every quarter. That might be an option for some quick 90 day gains too

I like StockTwits a lot for its trending stocks ticker. Discover a lot of companies you would never otherwise hear of. You'll have to sift through a whole bunch of crap from some users because they're trying to pump their bull/bearishness. There are some bots I recommend you follow who post technical milestones of stocks (MACD crossovers, RSI oversold/overbought, unusual volume, etc.). Wallstjesus posts regularly throughout trading hours and gives some pretty solid suggestions.
I like using Vanguard for their ETFs. Their expense ratios are generally very low and are transaction fee-free if you're using their ETFs.

i was bullish on DDD and posted here in the low 40s and ONVO when it was around 6. then a couple of miners.

George Soros Bet $1.3 Billion The Stock Market Will Fall
EDIT: forgot to add SCTY looking at new highs tomorrow
George Soros Bet $1.3 Billion The Stock Market Will Fall
George Soros, the billionaire hedge-fund manager who has broken the British pound and some Republican hearts, is betting that the U.S. stock market could break, too.
Soros Fund Management had $1.3 billion wagered at the end of 2013 that the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index would fall, the Bullion Baron blog reported last week, citing the fund's latest regulatory filing. It was Soros' biggest position, making up 11 percent of his fund's holdings.
The filing is a snapshot of Soros' position at the end of the fourth quarter of 2013. He might have raised or lowered that bet since then. He might also be using the position to hedge some other bet. He's certainly not going to tell us. Closing out the bet would have made some sense in the middle of February, after the S&P had fallen more than 5 percent for the year.
But Soros definitely jacked up the bet going into the end of the year, to $1.3 billion from $470 million in the third quarter. And just last month he warned about risks to the global economy, mainly from China.
Soros is maybe most famous, or infamous, these days for being sort of the liberal version of the Koch Brothers -- a wealthy guy pumping millions into progressive candidates and causes.
But he has also been a fairly savvy investor over the decades, most famously making $1 billion on a successful bet against the British pound in 1992, an event still known as "Black Wednesday" in the U.K..
In case you're thinking of ignoring Soros because of politics or because hedge funds are absolutely the worst at predicting the future, keep in mind that his fund was the best-performing fund in the world last year, according to a ranking LCH Investments.
And after that brief 5 percent swoon in late January-early February, the stock market has bounced right back to its record highs, capping a nearly uninterrupted tear since March 2009. Most terrifyingly, ordinary investors are starting to tiptoe back in -- always a worrisome sign.

Looked more into the story
http://blogs.wsj.com/moneybeat/2014/02/18/george-soros-doubles-down-on-bearish-bet/
So there's a chance he got rid of the puts

doubt he did get rid of it. look at the price movement of gold. he was probably one of the people that knocked it down to go long when he shook everyone out of their paper positions

Soros is shady.
China worries me though but I've been skeptical on them and their practices since I started trading.
