NICE!

How'd you make money on OCZ? By shorting it?

And did you mean AGNC? I've been tracking that stock and wish I'd bought in back in May when 'prowess' first told me to

I hold stocks for only a few days max. I'd day trade if I had the $25k min. balance

I made money on OCZ by buying it after it gapped down. And I made a lot of money on ADNC (not AGNC) the same way.

Fantastic, man - good for you!
There's nothing sweeter than making big gains in a bad economy.

Keep it up. Keep me posted, too!
I'm bullish on SLV and STX in the short term (but not as short as a few days...)

Companies I'm bullish on for the medium-term (3-12 months)

AMRN, FSLR, KOG, OPTT

KOG and OPTT look interesting -- what do you like about them?
What's a good entry point?

KOG is an E&P play in the Bakken oil fields in Wisconsin. They did things differently: took massive senior notes and bought up shit tons of land, as opposed to scaling in to land, and missing the train. It is a huge risk, but has been paying off well for them. They have been 100% successful in their test wells, and have also been on target with drilling success, and expansion. I think they (were) undervalued, though have been on a run lately. They'll pare back to the 50-day, buy then IMO.

OPTT has been in business since '94. The longest standing ocean power technology company. (no pun intented by their name). They have no debt, and right now are solely dependent on gov't subsidies and grants for funding. however, they've had huge advancements in the past 6 months (you can research that) that place the company to start making some serious cash soon. They've been testing their buoys longer than anyone in the industry. They seem to be the most advanced technology.

They report earnings tomorrow, think about getting in after earnings (because they'll probably miss and fall off a bit).

Disclaimer: I have no positions in either of these stocks, and am not liable for any profits or losses associated based on my opinions of the stocks.

Tried to jump on PPHM after they fell 87% after terrible Phase 2 data. Stopped out of my position before I could make a profit.
