I'm pulling for him; hopefully he'll do well ...

Completely awesome. http://www.cnbc.com/id/48336908?__source=yahoo

I hit both of these stocks, spot on. I bought Sprint in 2010 and have been holding on (at a loss) until I broke even about two weeks ago and now am in the green pretty big. It looks like I'll be able to sell out once I double my profit.

Zynga if you recall I bought as a very short term (held 3 months or so) holding due to my view of the social-media madness/bubble. I bought in December at $9.60 and sold in March at $13.13 for a nice chunk of change. Well today Zynga is at $3.05 and it will never ever get as high as it did when I bought it (much less sold it). It's a broken company that is going to fail (or be bought out).

Today the social-media bubble popped. Facebook provided it's first earnings report as a public traded company, and they merely "met" expectations for the most part. Facebook is going to take an ass-ramming tomorrow along with Yelp, Groupon, LinkedIn and Zynga.

Whoot. Overall I've made some pretty good decisions over the years! Bank of America was my worst - I'm down 70%, BUT I knew it was unbelievably risky so I only put in $500 total into it. So yes the percentage loss is horrid, but the value loss is not much at all.

I need to check my shit out and see where I am ...

I thought Microsoft bought yelp.

Are you shorting any of these, Kyle?

No shorting.

Sprint has gone from $4 a couple of weeks ago to $5.15 at today's close. @ $6.66 (seriously) I'll be 100% profit ($2500) and sell it.

Apple is making my pocket bulge.
Total profit = (79shares x $636/share) - ((10shares x $92/share) + (69shares x $567/share)) - (3months x $210/month in interest) + ($210 in dividends paid today) = $9781.

My 401k is $400 away from $70k. One of my goals was to have $75k in the 401k by EOY. Looks to be on target. (Started the year with $51K).

Hand over the money bitch, don't make me slap you!


Hahahahahaha
