Sonic Money is a sounding board for my personal investments strategies and stock research. It will be updated in real time. As I make moves in these financial waters you will be able to either join in or watch from the sidelines. Either way my goal is to make money every day through picking long term stock winners, shorting stocks that shouldn't be posting gains, betting on sectors that are experiencing tremendous growth, and posting profits that make people take notice.

Google's stock price ends the day at $666 (GOOG)


Okay thats just scary. I wanted to mention this stock as one of the stocks I like long term. Someone said owning Google will be like owning 10% of the internet. As a web designer I understand just how serious some of the advertising moves google is making. They will own much more than 10%.

Buy 1 share buy a half of share whatever you can afford buy GOOG (Google).

Put it in your IRA - it's that good. And no this is not a sign from the Devil.

Purchased PBR (Petroleo Brasileiro) @ 95.71 - Trying to be more optimistic

Folks I looked at my long positions and saw that PBR (Petroleo Brasileiro) had lossed $10 a share or about 10% of its value in the last 5 days.

This isn't right they just found 5 billion barrels of oil and oil prices are going up. I am predicting a 10% jump over the next few days. So I am in this long term (with PBR/A) and now short term with PBR. I like this company and did before they fond the 5 billion barrels of oil that sent their stock price flaring.

Well now I have three short positions to manage great. Just to recap for the novice investor short means I am betting the stock will go down and long means I am betting the stock price will go up.

My plays for this week are:

RICK - short
PBR - long
TASR - short

Wish I Could Enter DPDW (DEEP DOWN,INC.)


I am holding onto my shorts probably until tomorrow's trading day. I don't like to keep more than three short positions because its too stressful. The dozen or so long positions I hold are enough to keep track of.

To make a long story short I am wishing I could enter DPDW (DEEP DOWN,INC.).

It up 2.17% today and is still way under $2 a share.

I choose the dark side. I choose to bet stocks would do bad (shorting stocks) versus seeing the glass as half full.

Oh well maybe one of my readers will buy DPDW for me. :)

Okay Johnny Buy DPDW!

Shorted TASR @ 12.77

Executed order at 9:31

TASR on CBS The Early Show - Really Bad Press

Goodmorning,

I know that this weekend I was thinking about shorting TASR. I just remember that stock when I was investing in it around $8 a share. Now its in the low teens and dropping. Something tells me with all the bad press that we may see it test some new lows.

I think that walking to my shower and seeing this on the Morning Show is a sign (check out the video yourself). I also think that the UN debating wether to label TASERING a form of torture is even worst.

Listen I am going to SHORT THE HECK OUT OF TASR this morning. I usually don't do any trades until about 10, but this is going to be an exception.

So for the record I have short positions in RICK and now TASR.

Wish me luck!
