I see first support at 12.75 and 2nd support at 12.00.  Definitely sell if it drops to about 11.80 as it might try to fill that gap.\n\nOn the upside, I could see it going to 13.50/14.00ish, but probably not past that just yet.\n\nIt's up to you how much you want to risk for where you think the stock will go.  \n\nDecide how much of your newfound profit you want to risk vs. what you might get back and that should help guide your decision.  If the stock is slowing down, you might take that money and find another stock that's moving so that it makes money for you.\n\nHope that helps!

The stock certificate should have a CUSIP # on its face in two places, you can find out if it is still traded by cross referencing that number.

Several years ago there was a commodity traded, maine potatoes.  Every year for something over two-dozen years, the price would go up in the middle of January through early February.  Information was not as free back then, I could track causes better today on the Internet.  So I had some money and practiced trading in corn, making a little bit while getting the ropes.  The target was this, the smallest increase was 8 cents a pound, 50,000 pound contracts.  I caught it on a down tick and felt like a surfer catching a wave.  Unfortunately, it was a tsunami.  There were several millionaires who had also spotted the trend and they thought they could buck it.  So the price went limit up, trading stopping after the first couple of minutes, doing this for a few days, then limit down, again stopping trading after a few minutes into the next trading day.  I got a margin call, but it was for more money than I had, so the brokerage confiscated my position.  When the dust settled, the price had indeed gone up as I antcipated, but I was trapped out, unable to profit from it.  For that matter I was paying off that debt to the brokerage firm for years, instead of paying off my mortgage, which is what would have happened if those guys hadn't been greedy.  Meanwhile, it bankrupted something upwards of 100 rich traders who had tried to turn the market, and sent something like 60 to prison.\n\nThis doesn't happen all the time.  Just be careful, you can lose more than you put in, although trading the option MAY limit that.  For instance, even in stock options, if you sell a naked option and things go against you and someone calls that option and you haven't had a covering option to cancel, you are on the hook for supplying the shares.  Be careful of trading too close to the expiration.  I remember positioning for one thing expected to go up, and by the time the events began driving it up, my option was close to expiring, I got almost nothing out of it.\n\nA good plan is a wonderful thing.  But with commodities and commodity options, there is still uncertainty, and definitely danger.

The company looks set to rally when it crosses the $33 barrier on strong volume, this is a gurantee.. With strong divergence coming from MACD and Slow Stochs.. and $33 proving a strong resistance.. Look out for it when it breaches it on strong volume, and never forget to look for follow through before riding the bull.

Even a small holding like this can be a great opportunity to learn about the stock market.  Try to save more and add to your position.  I am not crazy about At&t, but since you have the shares why not find out a little more about the company - listen to their quarterly conference call:\n\nhttp://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?p=irol-eventDetails&c=113088&eventID=1392075\n\nIf you are interested in learning more about the stock market, I would suggest http://www.top10traders.com - this is a free site that lets you create a portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in "play" money.

Throw it in the stock market. Look for some stocks that pay dividends and hope for the best. In addition to paying a dividend they have the chance of increasing in value.\n\nSome large cap dividend stocks are Bank of America (BAC $53.76), is currently paying $2.06 dividend payout per share, Altria Group (MO $81.16), pays 3.26 dividend payout per share. \n\nLooking for a higher payout but risky try Southern Copper (PCU $50.92), pays 4.60 dividend payout per share, Centerplate (CVP $15.71), pays 1.56 per share dividend payout.\n\nThese are just a few examples. What ever you choose read up on which companies you'll want to invest in. Always remember, past performance does not guarantee future results.

I hope you are right about the earnings, but the stock has a PE around 18, 10-15% growth and is in the middle of its slow season.  I suspect you may need to wait another 6 months (when they report 3rd quarter earnings) for you to see much action.  Really I think its a good company, but nothing special.\n\nHowever, your feelings on it, and my feelings on it are close to meaningless.  The market as a whole is always right, and I suggest you go into stocks with the mindset.  \n\nSo, if a trade goes againist you try to find out why, when will the trade turn around, did you miss something, is there something better out there.  Learn from the trade, don't call wall street names cause wall street doesn't care - you are just wasting your breathe.

The best tip I can give you: don't buy penny stock.\n\nThose stocks are at these prices for a reason: bad debt, close to bankrupt, you name it.\n\nIf you don't know where to invest your money, buy an index tracker using dollar cost averaging. It will not make you rich overnight, but it will create you a nice nest egg, over time.

I can see it going as high as $800 before it slowly starts coming down again.

I would suggest a wait and watch. Though the corrections offer an attractive level to enter over priced shares.

I've done that with what I call 'loose change'.  Sometimes I've got a few dollars sitting around, obviously not going to make a lot of interest and not large enough for something substantial.  If some risky thing has been going down but I still feel it worth holding onto (its kinda fun when you sweat over a $90 stock moving a couple of bucks while a stock selling for less than a dime now goes for a buck or two, and yes, I've had that happen), then making an extra small trade can average down the value of your position.  When the stock starts to tick up for whatever reasons, you now have a lower break-even or profit point.  Again, it is only if you've got a few bucks left not doing anything and at Scottrade for $7 plus a half-point, it doesn't hurt much.  Of course, I also got a couple that are cluttering up my list because it will cost more to sell than they are worth today but that is part of the risk, right?

It's a game, you're looking for some potential big increases in a short period.\n\nLMRA is a good speculative stock.  Buy on support around 7 and sell around 10.  \n\nLook at the chart.  Pops up, pulls back, pops up, pulls back.\n\nhttp://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?t=3m&l=on&z=m&q=c&p=&a=&c=&s=lmra\n\nSome solid stocks you might like are NYX or MA.  KSS isn't too bad either.\n\nGood luck!

According to the census, Las Vegas is the fastest growing place in the nation so a good bet may be to buy in a new project with projected completion by the time you are ready to move.  This will help you lock the price and if things do not work out as expected to sell the option at a profit.  What you are seeing is a market correction due to increasing interest rates not a dip that will continue for too much time, the FED will review the interest rate again in June 28 so keep looking at the money news to see if the market is expecting the FED to increase or to maintain the actual rate.  If they plan to increase it, the further market correction is expected but if they do not raise it then it will be wise to start looking now since prices will not dip much more.  Good luck!
