E ji, glad that you are still hanging around for couple of more weeks. Amen! Like I said earlier, I am rather a keen student here in this thread; duly learning my ropes. I hope I would be able to input something as I get to learn in the future about market and predictions and bets on it, calculated ones, preferably. Right now, I have some long term holdings. One of them is MRVC. I like the leadership. And I know Jews know how to make profits, no matter what!. No offense to them. Also, I see that Luminent is hanging around for spin off. That makes this a lucrative long-hold stock. I also am holding onto NFLX. I know you might have differed opinions on this one, more so coz the landscape of movie viewing may change over time. Yet, I trust my guts on this. Numbers run well on this stock as second advantage. ALU, JDSU, seem to be not working out for me. I worked for one and have frens in the latter. Still I will not sell them short. E ji would agree with it, right? on newbie side, I have CLWR and ARUN. Both seem to be not doing well. But these were picked based on few IPOs that did fly well in the recent past. I am having these under microscope. This morning I was more inclined towards Airlines industry( WSJ). I hold MEH and AAL for merger sake. Did swell a bit! Anyways, I look forward to more inputs from guys who are trading on the market. E ji, correct me on my portfolio, if you will please. As you can make out that I am more on the techie side of stuff. Blue chips for short-term returns have worked out well for me. EMC and DELL, ORCL and MSFT, always gets you few hundred quids if you know when to buy and sell them. Right! Samsara Ji, Good luck on Fx trading. I know very little on it. Best~! -B
