<p>Forgot to mention: WFR was up 4.65% today.</p>

<p>GREK is up 5% today.</p>

<p>Did you buy it yesterday?</p>

<p>Unfortunately no - I probably made 1% on this but it is a long term play. The market is way undervalued. I couldn’t get my whole order filled.</p>

<p>There was also a story on cnbc about Greek bonds that have done tremendously this year.</p>

<p>Looks like I should have sold WFR today. It closed at resistance. Support is at $4.90. I should sell it and wait for it to go back to the lower trend-line. I should always check the charts! This was just a fun purchase that a bunch of other traders have been watching for a long time.</p>

<p>I think it is great to buy a stock and have it go up 5 percent the next day.</p>

<p>Congrats</p>

<p>I like the article comparing 1999-2013. I also like the article about selling stocks. I sell anyway because that is my personality…but I don’t disagree with the author.</p>

<p>I’ve been thinking of 1999 and 2000 lately. I remember 2000 very well.</p>

<p>From the article on the comparison of 2013 with 1999:</p>

<p>I think it is obvious that this isn’t 1999. But hey…it is only May. :)</p>

<p>I want the fed to start cutting back on qe starting in Jun.
I was told yesterday by a bond guy that some of the behavior during the years 2005-2007 is starting to repeat. Just starting, so there is time to calm things down. Do I think the fed will slow things down in Jun? Not at this second.</p>

<p>Looks like an Intel design win in the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10:</p>

<p>[Rumor:</a> Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 coming with Intel Atom Z2560 chip inside](<a href=“http://www.androidauthority.com/rumor-galaxy-tab-3-10-1-intel-atom-z2560-chip-212222/]Rumor:”>http://www.androidauthority.com/rumor-galaxy-tab-3-10-1-intel-atom-z2560-chip-212222/)</p>

<p>I’d prefer to wait for Bay Trail myself. Clover Trail is probably comparable to the current ARM chips out there while Bay Trail will provide leadership. The interesting thing about Intel Atom chips in tablets is their potential ability to run Windows 8. It would be very cool to have a tablet that could boot to either operating system.</p>

<p>BCEagle91, thanks for the link. My intc position is a lot smaller now so I have mixed feelings about reading any positve news. Lol</p>

<p>The thing I remember most about in 1999 was to make sure every single program and function out there is Y2K compliant. Then some people complained in 2000 that the Y2K panic was much ado about nothing. Well, duh, we did our jobs to make sure there was no or very little disruption.</p>

<p>Krlillies, you are a techie too?</p>

<p>What do you do without giving too much away?</p>

<p>Do you remember the stocks zitel, data dimension, etc?</p>

<p>Well, I guess I gave that away. dstark, the only investing I did back in mid 90s was 401k and mutual funds.</p>

<p>Krillies, I think your secret identity is still secret. There are quite a large amount if techies here. </p>

<p>So…any tech stocks that you like?</p>

<p>I should not have given up on ddd.</p>

<p>I mentioned WDAY last December along with DDD. Then XONE Feb I think during its IPO. There is another cloud play I like but I’m waiting for it to pullback so I’m mum about it hoping there will be no bids.</p>

<p>The thing I remember most about late 1999 and early 2000 is the human genome craze (remember Sequenom, Celera, etc?) and then Al Gore making his infamous announcement that popped the genomics bubble. :)</p>
