So, who bought some Tesla?
If I would have been keeping up I would have jumped on this and made some quick cash and got out.

CSIQ will hit at least 14 within a few months. I'm calling it.
Get your call options while they're hot...

No Tesla, but BP for sure. I keep looking at Citi but I'm not sure just how long its going to wallow at $3/sh.

I need a market drop so I can get back into Apple.
Do a buy/write (Aka sell covered calls) on Apple if you think the price is too high. That way either you will make money if you get called, or you will essentially have purchased the shares for the price you desired.

I have been doing buy writes on Altria for two years now and it has worked nearly perfect. The difference is Altria has a fat dividend and not the same volatility, but the concept is the same.

Not I. I sold nearly everything into bonds/fixed income stuff a few weeks ago, and while it's low enough to justify buying (the whole buy low/sell high thing) I think there's a bit more things have to fall.
Well, of course it's back up to near where I sold... Them's the breaks I guess. I still don't see anything to give me a lot of optimism in the long-term though. We'll see...

little FYI for all those holding MO KFT PG KO or any other dividend yeilding stock.

tax rates are returning to pre 2001 levels at the end of 2010. so, no more 15% tax on dividends, instead it will be taxed at ordinary income levels. something to consider.
