Delta Airlines stock?
400502
If they go bankrupt (completely), you may be SOL, unless the company offers some sort of compensation.\n\nIt's unlikely Delta will be bought by another company, but if they did, you'd probably get a heck of a buyout option.\n\nIf you have any doubts about Delta's future, I'd sell.

Agreed, it'd be speculative.  In general, when a company comes out of bankruptcy, the shares before the bankruptcy become worthless.\n\nThat said, it's up to you.  US Airways made a bid for DL at 25% premium.  Are you willing to risk 100% for a potential 25% return?\n\nIf you want to trade an airline, you might consider AMR, or CAL, or JBLU while are solvent companies currently looking seasonally strong.\n\nGood luck!

Just go on line and in the search engine put in"buy stocks".\nOr I use  WWW.TDwaterhouse. They only charge $9.99/transaction.

Unfortunately, I'll probably dealing primarily with stocks listed on American exchanges, I'll see if I can come up with a Toronto one.\n\nAltria (nee Phillip-Morris, MO) is a great stock to get because it's a solid tobacco company with some great brands (Marlboro) and they're just entering the smokeless tobacco market, which could be a huge payoff.  Also, this "light cigarette" class action hit the stock too much and I expect to see MO gap up in the future.  And they pay a 4.20% dividend.  It's hard not to like it.\n\nFor alcohol, the market seems to be going into liquor as opposed to beer these days, especially among the younger crowd (who tends to drink more).  This isn't strictly empirical, but I think going into a liquor company is a better bet.  For that, DEO is your best bet.  They have a great stock of brands (Morgan, J&B, Cuervo, Tanqueray) and are have some beer and wine brands (but their strength is far and away their liquor).  It's relatively cheap at 19.51 P/E and has a 3.90% dividend also.\n\nI don't know too much about weapons, but if you're into military stuff, Halliburton and even Boeing are sound investments.  Handguns, Smith and Wesson (SWHC) is the only one that comes to mind it's forward P/E seems a little high at 27.56 for manufactured goods in what seems to me a tight market, but there's not much industry data to go on (not very many handgun companies).  They're trading on the upper end of their 200dma so this stock could move upwards (and it's been trending up all year).  Analysts are bullish, so I'd say it's worth watching.\n\nFor gambling, you need to go where the money is, and that means what's hot.  No casino's hotter than Sands (LVS) which has exploded over the past year, but I'm worried that the money might have been made there.  It's the best casino stock out there, but it's the most expensive.  Casinos are still a good investment, but I'm thinking with concerns over the Democrats taking over (and the economic / legislative ramifications) you might want to go a little cheaper.  Harrah's (HET) is another good casino stock that's not so pricey as Sands.\n\nAs far as sex stuff, it's pretty hard for me to come up with a recommendation.  I'm sort of cold on the industry because a lot of it is privately held, and the public issues don't get coverage.  If somebody can come up with a good investment, I'd love to hear it, though.\n\nHowever, I'd be interested to know why you're interested in sin stocks.  As I touched on earlier, some people think a Democratic congress could hurt some of these companies (especially tobacco).  Maybe you're thinking these were irrationally factored into the price and that these stocks could jump up after the election?\n\nEdit:  Full disclosure.  The only stock listed that I own is MO.

If you mean NASDAQ:DIMEZ (Washington Mutual, Inc. - Dime Bancorp Litigation Tracking Warrant) they are trading quite happily on the NASDAQ. \n\nNot a particularly liquid security though.

EAG is trading this morning. $1.54 last trade, has traded over 65000 shares this morning. Whatever broker you are using is a moron. The pennies you are saving from using a moron is costing you lots of aggravation and lost trading opportunity. There are lots of discounters out there...i would find another if i were you!

Check out the nasdaq website. Look up that company, find out how much one share of stock is selling for. Then find out the number of available shares. Then multiply the two. That's your answer.\n\nThat doesn't mean you could buy the company for that figure, but that will answer your question.

i bought SUNW stocks today.  Their is great potential in the company.  In the 90's this stock was in the $70/share.  SUNW is announcing quarter results on monday and i think they will beat expecations.  $5 dollars a share is a great deal that will easily reach $20 this year.  THey have reduced costs by cutting work force and they have released some strong servers that will generate revenue. BUY NOW before Monday results.

JDSU.  It closed at 4.18/share.  Made 7 cents per share today.  Typical for a day lately.

Well, your stock is not worthless, its worth $3 per share right now (and thats up from just $2 per share a few days ago), you can simply open an account and sell it if you want.\n\nNo telling what the stock will do from here.  They filled a Chapter 11 bankruptcy (reorganization), not Chapter 7 (liquidation), meaning they are trying to cut costs, sell whatever they can, and emerge from the bankruptcy.  When (if) they emerge they will try to give the stockholders as much value/ownbership of the new company as they can, but no telling what they will be able to give you (if anything).  \n\nThey may say we had to give 90% ownership to other people to get enough money to reopen, or they may be able to get money to reopen with less (or more) of the company given away, again no way to tell (or they may never get the money to reopen and they will eventually end up liquidating the company and then you'll almost certainly get nothing)\n\nSo, you can just sell what you have for 3$ per share (as of today), or you may want to say what the heck lets roll the dice and see what happens, and hold on to the stock (realizing down the road you could get alot more or alot less than that 3$ per share, again very hard to say).\n\nGood luck with it.\n\nBy the way, here is the link to your stocks current sell price.\n\nhttp://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=DCNAQ.PK

Not much of a chance here, since the acquisition has been announced already, GDW will open at a price approximately 15% higher than it closed on Friday.  You can try a limit order and see how you do, but most likely there is little opportunity to make money on this trade.

Hi,\nI guess its a pretty new stock.....My initial screening consists of three tests :\n\nTEST#1 : Is ROE of company greater than that of industry\n========\n\nRETURN ON EQUITY : 74.19 %\nIndustry: Oil & Gas Refining & Marketing ROE : 21.30%\n\nTEST#2 : Is market cap greater than 200m\n========\n\nYes it is 1.4B\n\nTEST#3 : Is volume greater than 200,000\n======\n\nYes it is 779,000\n\nSo the stock has passed all the three tests.But the average P/E of this industry is just 8.1 . So I would buy the stock if the P/E is less than 20.\n\nThanks,\nDan
