I'm the one pushing DXPE. I bought 100 shares in 2/24 at 38.08. I'm up more than 12%.DXPE is an industrial equipment wholesaler. Prior to 2008, the CEO had stated that his goal was to make the company a billion dollar company. Current market cap is $606M. In their industry, they are in the top 20% in YoY earnings growth and in the top 10% in PEG ratio. They have beat earnings projections every quarter since 2009. TTM: 20.7Forward P/E: 14.2PEG: 0.63Overall I think this is a solid company run by people who know what they're doing. Good for short term and long term growth.

No one knows. Keep buying until it shows signs of topping.

Nice action on BAC. LNKD down today, but it is fine IMO as long as its still holding above the 20 day moving average.

I like Apple's decision. Small buy back, small dividend. Neither enough to require them to bring money that is offshore over to the States. Also they will re-evaluate the dividend number according to future earnings.
Of course the market didn't like the news (was up 3.5% pre-market at one point), but now the bulls are coming around (up 2% right now).
Also, look at DXPE go.

Do you guys think Apple will hit 700 in Q2 or Q3? It seems likely, but investors expectations are so high....

$700 by the expiration of May options. That's my guess. It's only a 16% increase from here.

BAC was up most of the day then hit a reversal towards the end. The scalpers jumped in. It needs to consolidate then rise.

I think it may keep steady or even drop until a few percent, I'm buying towards the end of the week.
Samsung also looks like a great pick, rose 6 % yesterday, with the sales of the iPads. Like Foxconn, I can see it rising a great deal throughout the year.

BAC rumors were false. It made people panic and sell their shares. If you're holding , don't worry it's fine.

I was doing well for 2011 even though i lost 3k in sprint
my accountant told me I can claim up to 3k in taxes so it may work out.
COP has been a favorite stock of mine since 2009. Dividends are great and they are a very strong company
I plan on getting into options but using small money, say a couple hundred.

But alright people, I need some clarification.
So I've been researching options in-depth for the past week or so, although I've already known the principles behind them for a while. I just need some confirmation on a few points.
- The value of, say, a call option is the price you want to sell the stock at less the strike price, multiplied by the amount of shares that your option held, correct? For example, if I buy one call option (containing 100 shares) of BAC with a strike price at $11 and BAC reaches $14 by the time my contract is up, the value of my option would be calculated as (14-11)*100, and then I must also subtract the fee I paid for the option from that answer, correct?
- Assuming I'm correct on the above, doesn't that mean that you will most likely LOSE money on an option buy if the difference between the current price and the strike price is less than a dollar? Like, (11.5-11)*100 would be $50, correct? Unless you bought the option at $.50> then you're not going to get a profit at all, not counting the other fees.
- Therefore, the only really wise option buys, aside from using certain option buying strategies like butterfly spreads and others, would be to purchase an option on those penny-stock-like opportunities, like some pharmaceutical stocks, where the increase or decrease will span a significant amount of dollars. amirite?
