Investment merits? Price targets? Risks? Bull case/bear case/base case? How's the valuation?

Pitch 'em to me.

First stock I ever bought almost six years ago. Funny thing is it is worth less today than it was back then. It's a turd in a capital intense business with earnings that can go all over the fucking map. Why buy a tech company when you can buy a company that makers crackers or band aids? Fuck a bunch of that.

It is money in the bank though, just like that Myspace deal, Linked in and Pets.com!

My bull case is that it drops 35%.
My bear case is it drops 75%

Either way I got it ranked as a solid "hold".

DISCLAIMER: I would never buy any of this shit

If you bought Amazon because you believe in the company over the long term then who cares? If you bought it because you "thought it was going to go up" in the next week then you are probably fucked.

Had a couple of $230 April 12 calls. Had an open order I was hoping would fill tomorrow morning. Oh well, it was a gamble I took last month due to kindle numbers.

What about google?

What about google?

What about Apple? Or Yahoo? Or Nokia? Or RIMM?

For every company named in the tech field that is a huge success, I can point toward the graveyard filled with competitors who took their shareholder's money to their graves.

The #1 rule of the Peters fund is "Don't lose your money". It's a lesson I learned after I got my nose bloodied a few times, sticking it where it doesn't belong in businesses that I didn't understand.

Point is, I don't need or want to invest in a company that reinvents the wheel every five years. Where will Google be in five years? Shit, good luck making a convincing argument for any place you want to say. They could be in the penthouse or kicked down into the gutter. Where will McDonald's be? They'll be making shitty hamburgers that idiots love and stil selling me coffee.

Gotcha. Buying out of the money calls is a bitch, the clock is ticking against you. I have always liked selling out of the money puts because of the opposite, I have made a ton of money doing that over the years but I don't do it with just any stock either.

Ask him what happens if they each move 10 percent.

Oh, we've tried. He still says %10 for the cheaper stocks is more, since it is %10 of more shares... Several of us have gone bonkers trying to explain it, finally gave up.

What stock(s) pay the best dividends? (Flame suit on as a complete newborn)
