American Capital Agency Corp. Message Board

Will like to see IGT over 20 sometime before 12/31/13.
Been holding this since 2008 peak over 30, more shares at 12-14.
Moving target as earnings, new products, better ecnomy, and stock market doesn't go lower.
In hindsight, should have bought some BYI.
Patience win out (hopefully).

What's your sell price target for a profit?
Will PTRY cross 15 soon? Like before 9/30/13?
Company potential for changes to increase shareholder valvue?

Thanks to all...now to do the research and cherry pick.
Glad I limited my exposure to LINE in my IRA; taking profits along the way and not being too greedy.
The fear I had is indeed a spike down and will stay down like BPT (YIKES!)

Diversity - to prevent surprised downside which can happen when earnings come out.

AMTG has been on a roll near its 52-week highs. Got this from a blogger on the AGNC message board. REM is also like a ETF.

You'll get days all mREIT will go up/down.

GLTA

Seeking Alpha has IGT going to 19.xx before resistance.
If overall market higher, rising tide lift all boats?
I would like to see if IGT has legs to set 20 as the floor.
Will be a challenge, with many resistance.

For the dude that says good time to buy - he/she has to have a target price to sell.
Wished he/she would have stuck his/her neck out to provide this price.
LINE could have a wide trade range of 33 to 36 next couple of days with ex-divy tomorrow.
Warning sign that LINE could not go over 40 - not good.

Assume for argument sake, rumor says IDCC gets gobbled.
What's a reasonable price for the sale?
Last year had projections like $85-$120; however, no bids.
My guess is 65-75...lowball it.
I'll be happier to see IDCC make 50 the floor for the rest of the year.
GLTA long and shorts.

Money on the sidelines (like myself) watching if SLV will stay above 20.
Just wondering what news event will make SLV spike down 14% from 23.29 to 20.
Can't think of any; therefore SLV should trade sideways for awhile, say 22-25?
The day SLV returns to 48-50 might be another 30 years - who has time to wait for that to happen?
Father time gets everybody, no?

When will it be time to finally buy SLV (if you can call the bottom)?
Is it still to the teens 14-16?
How long will it take to get there?
The next obvious question after buying SLV is the rise before the reversal.

Don't limit preferred to mREITs.
There are others uch as PGX, PFF, PGF out there paying around 6% which doesn't have wild price swings for the last 3 years. All near their 52-week highs; however, things can change on a dime.

mREIT dividends for AGNC at its peak was $1.40/share, cut to $1.25.
I would not be surprised to see it go to $1.00/share.
Anything lower than that will bring about crises management.
Whose to blame - Bernanke or was it bound to happen?

GLTA

LNN has corrected about from 95 top.
Time to nibble; but can go lower..
Next issue is how much lower & the bounce higher.
I would guess 80-85 max; market due for a correction.

You have other alternatives to lower your cost.
Dollar-cost average at lower SPXU price.
A correction in the SPXU is long overdue - I would expect a 2% -5% pullback in May.
Trick isnot to hold SPXU too long; from 1-5 days.
Use SPXU to protect stocks you own (insurance).
GLTA holding SPXU, SSO, UPRO

IDCC tried this last year... no takers.
Why would the situation change now?
It won't be earnings moving IDCC higher...projections call for eps to be in the red several quarters.
IDCC is a hold for better times and higher stockprice .
Maybe 50-60 before 12/31/2013.
The low? 30-40.

How long the wait to see if IGT goes to 20-21?
Or, the better question: how much higher before IGT's pullback.
Been many years since IGT ever saw 20+

Are you short HA or did you lose out trading HA?
HA will go 6-8 range before it sees 1-4..

After hours could not hold $430; back down to 406-408 range.
Expectations for AAPL trade 4/24 reach $500: pie-in-the-sky.
AAPL back to $700 before 12/31/13 is like MSFT going to $60.
GLTA long and shorts.
