citi Field is opening tonight. everyone is pumped up. but when the mets lose, the stock will tank cause evryone knows you should never back the mets

As far as I am concerned, the huge mega-banks, ie Citi, Goldman Sachs, BoA, Wells Fargo and a handful of others are in the same boat.

ETA: Throw in AIG in that mix

Whisper numbers and I feel almost certain they will suprise to the upside in a big way. I expect a reaction similiar to Goldman this afternoon and I would be looking to profit take soon. I think buy the rumor sell the news happens after they report.

"Widly Optimistic". Although I am somewhat indifferent here. I cut back my equity position at the end of the day Thursday and today. I am ok whever the market goes right now because I got the run I was expecting and now I do not have a feel or opinion on where I think the market is heading, so I am not being too aggressive. I do not think it is oversold anymore and may trend up a bit more in the anticipation of recovery. Still, it is to risky for me to take a chance like I did going all in on equities like I did back in March.

As for CITI, I am just speculating based on the stocks current behavior and those in its sector recently. I think the whisper number is a lot higher than estimates, but it is just my speculation.

I applaud your rally calling/not being greedy fwiw.

I believe most people skull dragged you for infering these are $40 stocks.

Again for someone who was claiming at the time this was a 5 year investment, you are sure excited to brag about short term results.

Please continue like every other poster (by every other I mean NO ONE) and specify the exact number of shares you bought.... it makes you look cool.

Also you failed to mention in this post you sold out some of those positions already... sometimes it is hard to keep a story straight. Good luck to you.

Man, you are on target and correct on most points. From my view, some of these these high risk stocks had potential to get to $40,$30,$20.. in 5 years - I still think that is true for some. I sold about 1/3 and got my money out and left 2/3's in to play on house money. I also put some in on Dow Chemical and Cisco with more modest returns. The point of my argument was to indicate that I thought the US economy would eventually come back which was / is counter to many pessimists on this board. I paid about $1 for Citi, $6.5 for GE, $.99 for AIG, $2.75 for Ford, $4 for BoA, $1 Etrade, and $16 Cisco.

What is the obsession on this board against anyone who posts the number of shares he buys? I think it is informative....which is what this board is supposed to be for.

I stopped posting the # of shares I buy/sell because someone here criticized me for it, but I don't see the objection to doing it.

You know exactly why. It's a not-so-subtle form of bragging and rubs people wrong. We've got folks struggling to make ends meet on this board. (not to mention poor kfizz scrounging in his mom's couch cushions for quarters to bet on the next Hornets game). It's quite gauche to casually talk about buying $30,000 worth of stock in a single transaction.
