So i was looking at FRE and im thinking is this going to die or live, and i made a little chart to play it out

now yeah it can somehow boost up like 500 dollars a share or go crazy down, but it looks like its gonna go down, thats the trend, even with a bit of a rally there is mostly downs, and i think government take over soon..

im going with:

strike 5
oct 08 exp date
puts

tell me what you guys think if its gonna be win or fall and government take over go=

this is what i mean, play a spread on this bitch. with the amount of play in this stock recently, its inevitable that its going to go either up or down in a pretty dramatic fashion, why not hedge your bets and take both?

LOL at that chart it looks horrible. I would avoid trading FRE. It is a piece of shit big money can be made elsewhere with less risk

Where did you get the idea that the upside on FRE is $500 /share ?

i took a bit of a risk with MBI this week, I invested 9K at avg price of $9.8 on Friday, it jumped up to $14.40 today...I think it will hit $15, at that point I'm gonna get out cause the price of this stock is tied into the performance of FRE/FNM, very volatile, but can be very profitable if you like to gamble

Theres a pretty large chance that you will lose EVERYTHING

I jumped out of MBI at $15.60 ...made money...the next couple business days I think there's quick profits to be made from MBI, ABK, RDN....but I wouldnt stay in it too long, if FRE/FNM go down, then you're fuxed

I would invest in RDN before investing in FRE, I pumped up my position in that today. I've got 1500 shares now at avg price $3.4 I'm an amateur at this and the professionals will say im pulling this out of my ass, but based on market demand and trends in these mortgage insurers/financials, I expect this stock to hit $5/share in the next 10 business days

I'm a hypocrite, I ended up putting $5500 into FRE today. Everyone sold their positions for profit, fear of bad news over the 4 day weekend, It caused the stock price to drop back to the $4.5 region. So I bought in at that point, because I don't believe any significant bad news is going to come out this weekend to affect this sector. I believe on Tuesday that FRE will shoot up above $5 again. At that point I may sell my position for profit or hold it a bit longer to see what shakes out, but most likely sell because it is VERY risky.

BTW, RDN is up 4% today and its going to keep going up, there's still time to jump aboard, its going to hit $5

Between my bet on RDN going to $5 and FRE going up, I made another $5k today...thats $10K in the past week fuckin with these financials, ABK, MBI, RDN, FRE. I'm going to sit back for a day before I decide what I'm going to dump my money into next.

property? do you read the news lololol

no because the news doesnt give an accurate portrait of the economic situation. plus, theres a saying that the best time to buy is when everyone else is selling
