what do you make of that story Wall?  i don't see them passing anything to block energy drinks when they aren't as caffeinated as some coffees.  would you be a buyer of HANS after that?

boiler,

wild action to say the least..all over the map, almost felt like a light session like summer trading.

Gunners..yeah I dont think it matters much, but when a stock is a high beta mover like HANS is, that action is unfortunately par for the course. Just hold tight to your strategy, dont let it go against you more than the level you established when you initially purchased.

 CNBC reporter Charlie Gasparino is being blamed for the last hour swoon, reporting that AMBAC and others will lose their AAA rating. If they do, that will have some serious ripple effects....

 For whatever people may think of CNBC Gasparino has been the most plugged in reporter on financials that I have seen lately,basically  correctly estimating the write downs and also the firings of the CEOs involved.

  Will be interesting to see what occurs with the bod insurers.Do they need a bailout? If so, how are they AAA rated?

these banks and bond insurers need to break down.  its got to happen.  and SKF will go up.  i have been averaging down and it is my largest position. 
 
I am in Commercial Real Estate and all the iBanks and wall street lenders are out of business right now.  no one is making a single loan on commercial real estate.  they are holding loans on their books that cannot be sold and they are laying people off.  write downs are not done.  there is no market for their products right now.  how can they make money on it?  they can't.  banks have to sell off soon.  and if they do, i will be up big.

just to be clear, there are plenty of life companies and traditional banks lending money right now.  but anyone that securitizes or collateralizes their loans are not doing business right now. 
 
which also bolds well for SRS here.

I would love to see both big bond insurers crack. I should have bot them when it happened the first time. I yapped about it enough, and both are 100% higher than when we were talking about it.

Big market bounce here...pretty strong volume.

Vermeer,

Yeah I own common and options..took it in the shorts on both but this move back has helped quite a bit.

Still I feel anything under 100 is a great buy on the stock.

Thanks for the good words.

ACUS;  Yes, I’m still holding this turd, but some events are currently transpiring, that I would like your opinions on, as to what may be happening. 

First, ACUS will be submitting their first and only NDA for Imagify this quarter.  While this important, ACUS is running out of cash, and will be bankrupt in April/May.  They have been very active looking for a partnership.  It has become apparent  that someone has been accumulating shares over the past several weeks in small 300 share blocks, that total approximately 35,000 per total trade.  The average volume over this period has been approximately 200,000 a day.  A couple days ago, Deutsche Bank announced they acquired 4.98% of the outstanding shares as a new position, and ACUS has a European partnership for Imagify, could just be coincidence. 

Well, check out the ticker for today, over 1.8 million shares traded on absolutely no news, and the stock only went up 4 cents.  To me, there appears to be an organized plan for somebody(s) to transfer their shares to someone else.  No bag holder like me is selling at this point.

My question; Is it legal to have parties transfer shares to one another on the open market so one could obtain controlling interest?  What else could be going on?

Something is happening here, but I can’t figure it out.

MSFT to buy YHOO.  screwing up my inverse ETF positions.  i can't believe that i'm praying for a terrible non-farm payroll report in 15 minutes.  i really hope a lot of people out their lost their jobs recently, so i can make money off of it.  but then i hope they get their jobs back.
