Whats DCA?  

dollar cost average.  Basically to lower your breakeven point.  You said you bought some shares at $6.49. 

 

For example if you bought 100 shares @ $6.50 and  lets say the stock price went down to $5.00 and you buy 200 more shares @ $5.00.  Your total cost spent is now (200x$5 + 100x$6.50 = $1650).  Your break even point now is $1650/300 shares = $5.50/share.  So now you lowered your breakeven point went down by 1 dollar from $6.50/share to $5.50/share.

Sprint taking a beating today, why is the pricing dropping so much for the past 3 days?  It drop under $6 today.

Not good if it tanks more.  Bought some at 6.49.  It is 6.24 today! I should have waited! Lost thousands in value today along.

Are you sure investing is for you? reading your post is giving me a flash back to King of Queens when Doug almost lost his mind because his stock price fell.

My guess is that the excitement over the mergers is wearing off. People likely bought additional Sprint shares in anticipation of the merger which inflated the price and now they are taking their profits. It may also be the market responding to the other carriers new upgrade plans and Sprints apparent lack of a response. The financial fundamentals from last week have not changed.

Somewhere, Craig Moffett is yelling, "SHORT!  SHORT!  SHORT!"

Or that they think that Sprint is going to have a disastrous 2nd quarter which is to be expected since the last remainng IDENites jumped ship.

I'm in for the long haul.  Just wondering what is happening in the market for the price to drop more than 1 dollar in 3 days.  Something must be up.

Stranger things have moved the market.

I am learning to play options with paper trading, if you guys think stocks are hard just wait till you lose 80% in a day because you were out all day. (I know most of you are playing with real money so its not the same as losing real money by a long shot.)

 

One big thing I see is it really, really helps to trade about the same amount of money each time because you never know when your going to be right.

About to start researching aluminum, specifically Alcoa. Does any body own Alcoa or have any thoughts?

Depends on where you think the world economy is going. The commodities boom of the past few years has declined as emerging economies such as China have slowed.

Yeah, that is always a concern. I got interested after reading a couple of reports pointing to an increased domestic demand and China becoming less of a factor internationally.

I have been watching it tumble. I am not going to jump in before earnings come out. Clearwire earnings are going to be bundled with Sprint earnings.

Did Sprint pay too much for Clearwire?

Too much? No. And after using Clearwire TD-LTE all over Denver yesterday, I would say it was just about right. ;)

    • I posted this in the Nebraska Premier thread last week, but just wanted to share in this thread the progress that T-Mobile has made in filling in the great coverage gap known as Nebraska. Between late last year and this year, they have added 28 new expansion sites filling in the coverage hole, plus 11 Sprint site conversions in eastern Nebraska and far western Iowa. Notably, in the last month n41 coverage was added on over a dozen expansion sites in western Nebraska that were added to the network last year. For comparison, here is the very first map that I created in October of 2022 after we noted expansion sites outside of Sprint conversion in Lincoln and Omaha. It doesn't show any western parts of the state, but just know there was nothing besides roaming coverage and a little B12 coverage leaking down from South Dakota to the west of Valentine, NE.
