    nostradamus (and anyone else),

    I'm curious, you folks want to share what individual stocks you folks are playing in these days?  I'm curious what people are doing  (aside from the traditional safe(r) index funds/precious metals funds/international funds in vanguard and IRAs/401ks)

    I don't mind sharing (and like i said, it ain't all pretty). Purely on speculation right now (no idea how things will turn out):

    Long positions

    Banks: BAC, C

    Tech : AMD,  EMC, HPQ, IBM,INTC, JNPR, MSFT, NTAP, NVDA, TSM

    Telco: ERIC, MOT ,QCOM (writing monthly  covered calls against an otherwise non-moving stock)

    Boring: GE, MO, PM, INTU, XLP,DD, ADM

    Short positions:

    Energy: DUG

    Retail:  GYMB, PLCE (hedged with call options)

    Tech: YHOO (damn you, Icahn 🙂 ) ,  NOK

    Yes, I'm tech heavy on top. My short positions are getting killed right now, followed by BAC which is currently down 10%. I was doing fine with Yahoo (after the deal was called off and I entered a short position)…that was until mr. Icahn well stuck his nose in things. AMD and C are actually doing decent, considering how low expectations are 🙂 on the street, go figure… I'm counting on the weak dollar to prop up earnings in tech co's that do a good portion of biz overseas.

    I don’t like big names. In past two days, one of my stocks shot up 70%.
    RCH – up 50% yesterday and 20% today. I unloaded half of it and hope to buy back at $8.

    I feel like it’s kinda late in the game to start betting on the weakness of the dollar, so my stocks are all domestic. I’ve already told you everything I currently own: JNJ, PG, and short on UPS. That’s it! Everything else is in CD or MM or cash money. I’m not very diversified but can’t lose money with a CD (except thru inflation) but I’m scared as heck of this stock market. Seems like we’re in uncharted waters and on the brink of something big. Or perhaps all the sensationalist news has gotten to me.

    Appreciate your input. Me thinks things are either going to end for me great OR it's going to be a long long long way down (like ,off the grand canyon at least on this speculative side of the house). Oh well, you only live once 🙂
