Here is a penny stock. They are going through their final phases of FDA approval for a female sexual dysfunction drug. One of the side effects is that it a womens breast may increase in size.

Good call on MNKD! You are up almost 30% since your post on Monday and close to 200% overall on your play.

Any other tips?

4 bagger so far but who's counting. Might take some off the table in the spring. Waiting on the short squeeze which I think might happen in the next 3 months....if it does, it will go exponential. If the FDA doesn't approved them in the spring...it will be bad. If they get denied again, they will run out of money. But I'm betting it will happen.

Nothing else really jumps out at me. Have my eyes on a couple of others for short term play but wary of the level of the market. This is the only stock I'm holding at the moment. Rest is cash.

Funny but true too - we all get investment advice from different sources and make our own decisions. I've been averaging about 2 sessions with ladies a week. Assume most people in the hobby like me have a decent amount of disposable income so it would seem to me most of us are not dummies when it comes to money.

Between my stock watching, Facebook, and ECCIE I barely have time to work!

Is this a pump and dump?

Most likely to be bankrupted...too many unions, people in the cookie jar.

If you bought AAMRQ you would have done extremely well, and now that the airlines are merged, they are going to price gouge the flyers for years to come, before they get slaughtered again, and their greedy unions.

A Lot of short interest in the stock. The news was good news...probably a sell the news type event. Possibly some people bought yesterday thinking early approval or review by fda.

The stock will continue to see huge up and down swings until the binary event in april (approval or denial).

Hey if i could play every up and down on this stock, i'd be a very rich man by now.

Still think the general direction is up and approval will happen. My guess would be about 9-12 in price by approval time. If it gets approved there will be some heavy short covering which could shoot it up pretty fast temporarily before it settles back down. If it gets denied again, proably will see 1-2 in price and the stock will stay down for a long time.

Wanna know how to make a small fortune in the airline industry? Start with a large one! As a member of one of those "Greedy" unions, I digress. If it wasn't for all the "greedy" wall street traders in the oil futures markets, oil would be 30$ a barrel like it was before some dumb shit invaded Iraq. "Drill baby drill" sure hasn't made much of a difference either. Fuel is 35-40% of airlines budgets, so if fuel was cheaper, airfares would be also. For too many years airlines cut their own throats with over capacity and fare wars, which led all of them into bankruptcy.

If State Farm loses money on a hurricane, they just raise rates in all 50 states to make up for it. If Pfizer's margins are low, they just charge more for my Viagra. How often do the cable companies lower their offerings? No company can survive if it doesn't price it's product where there is a profit, they don't survive.

Don't like airlines,or their "Greedy" unions? Simple. DRIVE!

As for investments, I buy DRIPS. Dividend reinvestment plans. All major companies offer them, and dollar cost average into them. I've been buying Pfizer, Exxon, Home Depot, P&G, Coke and a few others for the last 10 years or so. Thru the ups and downs, dollar cost average is the only safe way to buy stocks. Did the day trading thing in the late 90's, did Ok, just lost interest. DRIPS, the lazy man's way to build a stock portfolio.

I notice you aren't buying into your own airline - because once they make some money, you guys plan to extort more money out of them!

Just wondering what some of you are buying.

I bought a bunch of a stocks with stock symbol Mnkd under 2 a year and half ago. They make an inhaler that delivers drugs through the lungs. The drug is absorb through the lung tissues. Their first product is for Inhaled insulin. They are seeking FDA approval for the third time this spring. Hopefully three is a charm. Last time they changed inhaler design at last moment and got denied because of insufficient data with new inhaler. High risk, high reward type.

I see all types of drugs eventually delivered through this manner if it proves to be safe. Migraine and melanoma drugs are in the works. Possibly an ED drug in the future.

That could.. well WILL be an amazing return if approved I am gonna look into this..

So just curious... do you guys who are going to reinvest in Ford think that their recent and projected gains have anything to do with them not accepting a bailout? A few years ago I mentioned to a coworker that I thought their sales would increase over not taking the bailout. She disageed and I didn't think enough of it to follow their stock afterward but reading this got me curious.

Do you think their stance during the bailouts have had anything to do with their stocks doing so well?

Have you guys heard that the first male birth control is being developed? I need to put some money on that! ��
