Good stock ideas?
I've just recently gotten back into the very addictive stock game. There are a couple that I really like, and wanted to get some other opinions.
IFLI - International Fight League
This is trading at about $.12 so I found it easy to get a big position with the hopes that the Latin HBO, and Mark Cubans HDNet help boost it's profitability.
CFC- Countrywide - Well, i'm a gambling man and i'm hoping that BOA will show a solid get-out-of-debt plan. Shouldn't be too hard since CFC was one of the biggest spenders on internet advertising. That's a pretty big instant save.
OPWV - Openwave - I'm kicking myself for this one. I just emailed a buddy about this on Monday to get his opinion because I really liked it. It was at $1.78. I didn't have any cash in my account to buy so I have to wait a couple more days. He bought, and since Monday, it's gone up about 30%. It's at about $2.30 (I didn't see the close today).
SIRI- Sirius Radio - This one i'm up in the air. I haven't bought,
but the XM buy-out talk really peaks my interest. XM feels confidend that the buy-out will be approved. I would probably buy this one, and hang on until at least the end of the year.
Let me know what you guys think!! Also, feel free to add some favorite picks.

Well it looks like you are looking for a 4 or 5 bagger fast. But if you want something thats a little less risky but still a decent reward, try NRO. Its a Real estate investment trust that pays a monthly dividend. Currently it has faithfully paid out a dividend EVERY month. But because all the other REITs are hated right now, NRO has got beat down too. The dividend is still there and it pays 17% per year. There is possible going to be a merger with this stock MAYBE next month. Either way, most of us expect the stock to rise 50 to 80% in the next 6 months.
THen there is HTE. Its paying about 16 to 17% in dividends paid every month and everyone expects it to go up at least 50% by june, maybe 100% though.
C is another one i own, but that one is my long term stock. It will probably take 2 years for that thing to double.
Personally i dont trust SIRI. Too many people are in this already and although they have a good product, they just cant seem to get their finances together. Maybe after they merge with XMSR and i see a big 2 dollar jump inside a week i will jump on board for the ride to 50 dollars. Until then, i will stay away. CFC...yeah thats a crap shoot. I dont know about the other ones.

I would stay away from CFC as it is very unpredictable, but that is just me. I lost a lot of money on it both buying it and shorting it.
Sirius satelite is a potential stock that can quadruple and low risk if you play your cards right. I would be patient on Sirius Satelite radio. Its not going to explode anytime soon i can guarantee that.
The other two stocks are unheardof so I have no opinion on them.
My best stock idea is to short all the tumbling Solar stocks.
