Fun for grins n giggles

I've been watching this one since 9/11 and have enjoyed playing with it ever since. The "fun" part is that it's relatively inexpensive... and enjoys fairly good percentage swings during the day. You can get in for just a few bucks when she's running in the mid to high $8's and let it sit. Every time there is a terrorist incident of any note - she climbs very well. It might be immoral to make money off of such a negative incident.......... but - somebody's got to do it. Do not construe this as a recommendation to buy this security - I am not a broker nor professional......... it's just something to do with your spare time/cash...... It beats the lottery :D By the way ... Yes, it climbed to the $28 range last year - with no incidents of note around that time frame..... even caught the President of the firm off guard..... He sold a few million shares at $12 - only to watch it climb to $28 within days for no obvious reason. (wonder who bought at that price.... and how they justified it?)"

thezster said: "Had forgotten I had a "buy" in on this puppy at $8.75 until it executed this morning..... Must be a quiet morning on the terrorist mitigation front.... We'll see.."

thezster said: "Decided to take a modest profit at $9.00........ That will be a couple of nice dinners for Mama....(she has expensive tastes in wine) Put that "buy" back in at $8.75........... set it and forget it....."

AlfredSokol said: "You only hung in for a quarter?"

thezster said: "1500 shares for $0.25 = dinner"

AlfredSokol said: "It adds up fast."

thezster said: "Standing order at $8.75 executed again today.... strictly a "fun" play.... and I don't recommend it as a long term (heck, I don't recommend it at all) play... We'll see!"

thezster said: "Buy 8.75 - sell, 8.90 (it's a small investment cost - so 0.15 is actually profitable)........ Lowered the standing order to $8.70............ set it/forget it.....(though that contradicts my earlier sentiment of "check your orders daily") Won't pay your car payment - but lets you take momma to dinner..........."

thezster said: "Thanks.. though my crystal ball tends to get a big cloudy at times..... like last week............ The hype/rumor mill/newbies jumping in on PLNI almost (almost, mind you) got me to buy a few million at 0.005. I actually expected a 0.0045 range so held off on my speculation (meaning I'm not convinced on the company, but am convinced on the investor sentiment)...... Plus, I had to confirm that my account wouldn't charge an upcharge on orders over 5000 shares (it doesn't for me). . Looking at it today............. Woulda/coulda/shoulda......... Doubling my investment in 5 days woulda been nice..... I've noted your investment... and am pulling for you............."

HappyHarry said: "You got that right. I was nearly on board PLNI also for .005. LOL, but I knew better than that :)"

thezster said: "That new "standing order" just executed at $8.70............. We'll see! (with crossed fingers, knowing Momma wants a nice dinner tomorrow nite) :D"

(with crossed fingers, knowing Momma wants a nice dinner tomorrow nite) :D[/QUOTE] Dinner is on me, honey.... Just sold the shares ($8.95) I picked up yesterday........ Set that standing order back in at $8.70............ This is not scientific - nor even a "good play" that I would recommend. Just kinda fun to have on the sidelines..."

thezster said: "She did it again......... in at $8.70..... I'm gonna hate it when this streak ends...."

thezster said: "[QUOTE=thezster]She did it again......... in at $8.70..... I'm gonna hate it when this streak ends....[/QUOTE] Darn... streak ended. My last buy at $8.70 I had to dump at $8.69 (not a huge loss to be sure, but I was havin fun).... Goes to reinforce one of my many mantras.... as soon as you think you've got the market figured out... it'll kill ya........"

thezster said: "Lowered my "buy point" to $8.41 a week ago - set an order and left it alone..... Went Christmas shopping - only to come home and find that 900 of a 1000 share order had executed (YAY) - and the current bid was $8.68. Well, sure...... I dumped them quickly - and paid for the mornings gift purchases.... gotta love it!!"
