Is Dendreon a $360 Stock - Or Is That Too Low?

let me change my previous post. this article attempts to predict a share price of $30 for a projected revenue of $1.5 billion 15 YEARS into the future...

Leveraged ETFs: Handle with Care

Here's a simpler scenario:
Since the downside cannot go more than 100%, while the upside can exceed 100%, if you buy both long and short of the ETFs that follow the same index (ex.: FAS and FAZ), you'd either end up even (minus a small commission) OR in profit.

I'm sure there's nothing on those contracts against making the recipients' information public.
With their millions, I'm sure they can afford to hire bodyguards -- preferably the unemployed Blackwater mercenaries.
