first off bigpop,fucktard, nice picture! No firmis trying to hide or keep private any "trading statagies" you dont know what your talking about, keep out. Now, wannabe a model your not an analyst and neither am i, so i called those 2 stocks to move 30-40%,short term. Short term is 6 months or less, now ivx is about where i first left it ONE month ago. Im saying bsx will go 2 60 and ivx will go north of 30. Im not using the market as a cruch, however the recent pullback in the market was wide spread, felt through most sectors, these stocks have held up well, stocks don't go up (or down) in straight lines. Regaurdless, your right there is money to be made, for instance CHK chesapeak energy, spoke of it on this board around 12-12.5 the stock is @ 14 and looking to go higher.Guess what not every idea works out,so preservaton of capital is key, now calculating risk right? I still love boston,telling to buy @ 43 with support @ 38 looks to be 5 points or so, a little over 10%.To risk 10% to make 40% ain't so bad (4 to 1 risk-reward) . once again if you can't stomach a 5 point swing in a stock---BUY A MUTAL FUND. Also i havent seen any of your piks work out, o right you didn't name any, so once again dont come at me like that. pick some stocks post em then start talkin ok buddy,you bore me. Late
