ParticipantMany of us here own this stock short! I actualy bought in to the June 15 puts yesterday and they’re up 75% today.. but I’m going to sell at some point today.. because I don’t want to risk this thing getting delisted.. but, if you look up the thread ‘Profit Opportunity #1 by Rightside’ he mentioned (LEND), and deadzone mentions(NEW) – just as many other people have in other threads.. but if anyone had held from the date of that thread they’d probably be up about 1000,5000%+ in some of those options..
What’s next? How about CFC? Ive done well over the last couple weeks and I think they’re next to go down or take a big hit.
ParticipantHow is this thread dead?
RightSide KILLED it with his LEND prediction.. and Deadzone killed it even more with his NEW prediction..
Lots of people were picking the subprime lenders to go down.. but where are all the crap talkers now?
My favorite is this lendingbubbleco character who was ragging on RightSide.. but lendingbubble is no where to be seen now? Presumably writing blogs and hoping his Google stock will double?

RightSide-you are certainly welcome to join in (assuming you can get enough people to toss coins into your roadside cup to meet our minimum funding standards).
Good luck with that trade (paper?) in LEND!!
ParticipantHow are your BBBY BBY and OXY puts treating you? Be honest, did you hold or bail out when they were rallying?
The BBY was a short lived experiment that was something of a wash… My BBBY puts expired worthless… and I have never owned any OXY puts, only calls which along with a couple of other lucrative successes have funded my investing entertainment expenses and then some 😉
ParticipantI am looking at NEW for a future short prospect. NEW is another sub-prime lender and has been very resilient to the bad real estate news.
LOL I sure hope you did more than look at it.. because you’d be doing nicely today!!! BAHAHAH! +200-500% today on this months puts??
ParticipantAre you golfing in Ranch Sante Fe today?
Actually I was LOL…
Now I’m taking aim at the pompously circumlocutious ex post facto babble spewed by our resident prophetics.. Who cares this was a stupid prediction made 6 months ago… how about put your balls on the line and take your own guesses? Out with the vague Nostradamus bullshit..
ParticipantWhat a ridiculous thread… most of the dudes posting here have balls bigger no bigger than peas to begin with.. not suprising they would criticize a persons guess or projection with conviction.. maybe they were foolish enough to follow this prediction??
Anyone looking for credit in their predictions or to bash others, while highlighting the rare cases where they were correct – are simply insecure and obviously didn’t capitalize on their own predictions enough because they’re still in here rather than golfing all day in Rancho Sante Fe.
Participantyes a winner is u
ParticipantFebruary 20, 2007 at 12:26 PM in reply to: How will the IT community handle the coming housing crash/recession? #45828ParticipantIf you’re looking for a solid career path, you need a good foundation. Most software development companies will not hire programmers without a BS.
I’m in that industry.. I’ve gotten almost every job that I’ve ever interviewed for without a BS or any serious questioning of why I don’t have one. In my opinion it’s almost a moot bullet point on a resume in this industry….
There isn’t a single person within my my group of friends within my age range that makes anywhere close to what I do nor has been employed as much as I have… perhaps this is just indicative of my friends? Many of them spent 50-100k on their college degrees though! I have no degree… a BS degree is mostly that BS! This doesn’t say these friends aren’t brilliant, because many of them are – but a BS still requires much execution and confidence. Do students really learn execution in college??? College is for partying..
Someone asking for instructions on how to get somewhere is a passive type.. and they want to have someone hold their hand.. that person maybe is a good fit for college.. and a sub-mean salary.. but those that really make the most money and are most successful, go on a fast track and aren’t afraid to cut every corner possible to learn and execute as efficiently as possible… college is sluggish and overweight compared to a dedicated person learning on their own.
But it does come down to preference.. If I ran a law firm I’d personally be more interested in the guy that self studied an passed the state bar than the guy that went to Yale.. I think both sides can be argued, and I’m sure that being accredited with a degree from institution is on average more successful, but when you see the leaders in many of our top IT companies they didn’t like school much themselves.. I don’t think it’s a quality to aspire to, it’s more a symptom of a persons perspective.

February 20, 2007 at 11:33 AM in reply to: Federal bank bailout may not be that big during this downturn? #45825Participantdoesn’t the front loaded interest on loans = banks gap insurance for foreclosure sale? Sure money still lost.. but at a high level isn’t it more distributed and hedged in a way that dampens the effects on any one institutions condition?
February 20, 2007 at 10:04 AM in reply to: Federal bank bailout may not be that big during this downturn? #45813ParticipantTax payers! Yay!
ParticipantCheck out “The Bluffs” or other units off of Rancho Del Oro Dr and Oceanside Blvd.
IMO they are overpriced(but fall within your specified range). I believe that area is primed to be the next Carmel Valley with Genentech and about 25 other buildings under construction going up within 1/4 mile. Also, city is adding the sprinter station that will connect further inland and to the coastal transit system just a stones throw from The Bluffs.. also pepper in the possibility of the stadium in Oceanside… That area IMO is the best location to buy not only in North County but in all of San Diego… fit that with your own analysis of the area and your timing choices.
I plan on leaving Cali since my industry affords me high geographic flexibility so that area isn’t one I’m targeting personally..
