Hopefully someone was in! - Well, that 2.15 area was definitely hard support. If anyone had purchased the stock today, they were laughing. Ciena closed up around 2.29 area, which is more in line with the value of the company. Now we will not see this go below 2.20, and right now ...
CIEN a long-term buy? - Well, after the run up CIEN made mid-week, it looks like the 2.15 area will be heavy support. At any price below 2.20, CIEN is undervalued. By mid September, we could see 2.40-2.50 if earnings are in line or better. Keep in mind they are released befor...

Live Play Report - Joe and I arrived at Harrahs pretty late. I think it was well after 11PM, but there was still a really long wait. We waited for 45 minutes or so, read Full Tilt Magazine and I broke even on some video poker machines. We finally sat down at separate tables...

Ready or not, tort reform is here... - Ive done nothing but draft lawsuits and run to and from court the past couple of weeks. Ive played some poker here and there, but work has essentially dominated my life. Our plan was to have everything done on Friday, and then each of us (me, my boss and ...

"Can you squeeze me into an empty page of your diary...?" - Well, we have 20 lawsuits to file by tomorrow. Ive been working quite a bit this week, hence the lack of posts. Poker has taken a backseat to the workplace madness that is the week before tort reform. I didnt play at all on Tuesday, and I just ran through...

Trader Gus' Trading & Poker Blog - Well, after a few months of holidays mixed with the occasional trading day, I should be back in the markets full-time. More recently, I have made the full switch to CIEN and have all but abandoned JDSU. Longer-term, Ciena has the fundamentals to make it g...

Is the week over yet? - Well, we lost the condo. Our offer was highest, but the seller was in some financial trouble. Because we are paying via mortgage, we could not close as fast as the other offeror. Thus, the seller went with the lower offer to get paid faster. Im also figh...

Our condo offer and a poker quiz... - I guess Kim and I just made an offer on another condo. We really liked this one, and I hope it comes through. Its going to be somewhat difficult financially, especially short term. Theres a good chance that I will be extracting most of my poker bankrol...

"Sit down, my son. We don't read most of the bills..." - You may remember that line from Fahrenheit 9/11. It was uttered by Rep. John Conyers from Michigan, talking specifically about the Patriot Act. It led to the famous scene with Michael Moore reading the Act out of the loud speaker of an ice cream truck d...
So that was a close one... - Well, we may have gotten a bit carried away with the edits on our brief last night. We really wanted to make sure it was perfectly clear. Thus, we went over it a million times and made a million changes. Regrettably, this meant that I was still making ...

Alternative Treatment? - Its been too long since I last posted. Work has been busy. Weve had a couple pretty significant writing projects for a couple of our federal cases with deadlines of this week. Ive been hustling to get them done. Plus I had night court last night, which to...

Dogtown and Z-Boys - I watched Dogtown and Z-Boys last night (not the movie, but the original documentary). Id wanted to see it for some time, and I finally popped it in really late yesterday evening. I really like it. The story is amazing to me. These poor kids from a r...

"How long 'till my soul gets it right?" - I was just googling that quote above to make sure I had it right, and I noticed that it is the title to some Dummies Guide to Happiness type of book. Rest assured that Im not citing some self-help crap. The author of that book stole those words from the...

Back to Work - I dont have night court this week!!! That fact alone makes getting through the week see much less daunting, even from the perspective of a Monday. I had a really good weekend playing poker. It would have been a great weekend, except for a rough final sess...
