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.

We may have to rename this the "Haute Bourgeoisie Thread."

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. ;)

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
