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.

The Main Reason Why I Short RICK'S CABARET INTERNATIONAL, INC.

RICK'S CABARET INTERNATIONAL, INC. (RICK) charts are some of the worst I have seen when you match it up with the news on the stock. This stock is at its highest point in 5 years based on nothing. Can you say over inflated ...

I like the website www.wikinvest.com because they seem to have a good engine for matching up news with stocks. Its in its beginning stages and not all stocks are listed but some of the major one are.


Please look at this chart and tell me if you don't see a fall in their future.



I have shorted this stock and its in my short term holdings basket (versus the stocks I want to hold onto for longer or my long positions for you beginning investors)

Google gets into alternative energy

Oh my. Cellular and Alternative Energy and 10% of the internet for under $700. Read Article

This company is worth over 200 billion and have no debt

You will wish you owned this stock under $700

STRONG BUY - IRA CERTIFIED

Holding My Short Term Positions Another Day

Breaking the cardinal rule folks. Holding onto my short positions. I recently made a 10% profit on a pharmaceutical stock that showed some explosive growth that day and it seemed logical that there would be some profit taking the next day.

Like a vulture I came into the stock high on the exuberant buying and saw it give back all its gains it had made the previous day. After reading the message boards I saw that it was poised to fall further.

My folks came over and convinced me to get out now and take my profits off the table. My dad even reminded me of when we were up in Vegas $3,000.00 and I was suckered back down to the tables by some young sweet girls only to loose every penny.

I don't want to end up like this. I don't want to end up like MC Hammer wearing parachute pants and singing gospel music. But I am going to hold onto these stinkers, I mean stocks for another day. I am documenting this so if I go south anymore than what I am at least you folks can laugh at me all together :)

Okay well here are my short positions and were they stand an hour or so before the bell.

TASR - $12.68 - Betting it will drop - $12.85 ticking lower :(
RICK- $14.50 - Betting it will drop - $14.89 ticking lower :(

Good Message Board Post on RICK

I try not to pass on to many message board posts and give you an easy to understand summary of all the research I do. I also try to do this in real time so you can follow or watch my trades go north or south (I think that is fairly unique). Anyhow please read what this guy had to say about RICK:

I knew that PTT wouldn't hold its own here and RIck was the better of the two plays. There is a bigger problem which is the Dow is falling ..here is the reason high oil prices / gas prices..The uncertainty of election politics. who thought that front ending the primaries was a good idea was foolish. More uncertainty. People are pulling their money from the Market over the long run this has always proven to be a stupid idea by investors. However the likelihood of the Market going further down the tubes before year end is high. It would not surprise me that we will hit 12500 or 12250 by year end. There is no reason to believe that we will fall much further here for Rick's but PTT will continue to slide

TASR is up 2.% in pre market activity

TASR - Oh boy. TASR is up $.30 in pre market trading. I can't lie I am feeling the squeeze here. The one thing I have learned is to not panic at the beginning of the day and to check the price if you have to sell the afternoon is a good time.We will see.

RICK - No pre market movement on RICK . I was just asking my friends why can't someone investigate them or something :) I mean I have read in several financial boards that they are the Amsterdam of the America and have legalized prostitution - come on some one please investigate these guys

PBR - Down .77% or $.77 in pre market trading.

Looks like my short positions are all treating me bad today.
