10 If you asked my friends what I would have ended up doing after getting out of the Army it would most likely have been, a pro fighter, bassist in a punk band, or dead in a gutter. Instead here I am investing in and trading securities. Some weird shit happened today, I’m guessing that everybody thinks that the Greeks are going to vote for pro-bailout and we are going to go into a fierce bull stampede on Monday, maybe even tomorrow? And, if the Greeks don’t pull their heads out of their asses, they’ll probably use the Euro Cup as the excuse, then the central banks are poised to drop QE on the heads of bears. I need this, and a need a few other things that I hope Odin will take care of for me.
Firstly, my $5 ZNGA puts expire at midnight, it obviously didn’t drop below $5, why Odin, why? Next, I would really like my POS Chinese burrito to drop and quit dangling monies in front of my face, only to rip them back and laugh at me, ZSTN. Today I bought more HDSN, Hudson is an amazing company, with great management. The good Dr and I met the COO about a year ago, and I have never been more impressed by and exec: honest, thorough, and transparent. They beat earnings hardcore, in the last quarter alone their revenues increased by 7% and their gross margins increased by 40%! Their next earnings call should be even better, this is a serious winner. I got “Fuck Booked,” by NASDAQ today in HEARQ, I’m still trying to figure out what the fuck happened, look at the chart.
A stop-loss was triggered in my account and sold off ALL of my shares. I had been slowly selling out, because when things got bad and I was facing margin calls on account of YELP and ZNGA, being a “penny stock” it is not marginable. So, I ask Odin to take care of me here because this is some shear madness. Chinese burritos sack tapping me, penny stocks trout slapping me, and the unknown that is the Euro Zone.
If Odin, or the Clam, don’t step in here I fear I am destined to become a “Barroom Hero” again…

Out of curiosity, who is Odin?
Ultramarine1
Odin is a Norse god.

More importantly, from Wikipedia, “Odin is a principal member of the Æsir (the major group of the Norse pantheon) and is associated with war, battle, victory and death, but also wisdom, magic, poetry, prophecy, and the hunt. Odin has many sons, the most famous of whom is Thor.”

Yeah, crap like that with HEARQ’s price action are reasons why I don’t use stop-losses anymore. That’s pretty nuts what happened today with HEARQ, it’s like it went through it’s own flash-crash, based on the past year’s chart.
Thanks for mentioning HSDN, will look more into them.

Excellent comapnt man HDSN continues to kill it! The lawyers, agents, etc on the HEARQ M&A have no idea what happened either.

Man those fucking’ wacky penny stocks, eh. Are you still rocking the bass Rhino?
rhino

Wow Rhino you really took that penny for whipper of no liquidity when the stop loss slammed market order on you. Bummer on that one. Hopefully it wasn’t that large of a position.
rhino
Yeah only ~2000 shares, someone else had it as a huge position and took a heel to the nuts. That unfortunately is the game, especially when tryin to beat the market. Sorry about all the typos in the comments gents, at a crowded restaurant.
