I have been watching SDVI closely, and once believed it would go up, but had lost all hope of it ever returning to a decent value, until today. MarketWatch.Com posted THIS article today, i emailed SDVI Investor relations department and got a response rather rapidly, they plan on having their 10-SB filed with in the next 90days, now i have not done my research on the requirements to be on the NASDAQ bulletin, but i believe  the minimum is $1.00 per share which is excellent considering right now its at $0.02 per share, if all goes well SDVI has no where to go but up.

I guess it finally had to come to a point where i would take some losses. JAVA did a reverse split (4 to 1) of there stock a couple days a go, and i was hoping that by doing that the price would go up.. well yes, and no.. Before the split JAVA stock was at $5.50 (or so) after the split it was worth $20.00. Looking at the numbers alone you would think wow thats quite a jump, but not really. i had 500 shares, at $5.50, now after the split i have 125 shares at $20.00 calculate that out and i lost $250. Ouch! but it doesnt stop there, I figured it might take a little hit, and then go back up but it did the exact opposite, it went up a little bit, and then way down. JAVA stock went up to about $21.00 which was great, and i should ha I planve sold, buti got greedy and held on to it, now today its at $19.44. so I still lost even more money… but being that its Sun MicroSystem, I plan on holding on to this stock, hopefully it will go back up.

I mean it has to, with all the changes they have made, from changing their stock symbol to JAVA (from SUNW). Their new server distribution partnership with Dell. By the way for those of you who dont know, Dell makes excellent servers, one of the best, if not the best around.  Sun Microsystems has the Java language which is taking off with great popularity, and (in my opinion) a fairly easy language to learn. Sun also has Solaris.

Im sure that if i just give it time, it will go back up. I will check back up on it when i get out of bootcamp, and if it has continued to go down, i guess i will have no choice but to sell it.

On another note though, it looks like the stockmarket in general is down, i fear it may continue to go down further/again.
 All the tech stocks seem to be down and suffering. Hopefully things will go back up soon.

I have mentioned Signature Devices (SDVI) once before, but i thought i should do them justice by mentioning them again. I have had my eye on SDVI I see the company taking off soon. While they are currently still in the pink sheets, i believe they will be filing to get out of them. See Here

If this goes through they will be on more popular bulletin boards, and out of the pink sheets. I believe they are trying to get on the OTCBB. no doubt in my mind, if they get on there, their stock will rise, and rise significantly.

 ”Signature Devices, Inc. manufactures, develops and markets advanced information technologies, including computer systems, software, and electronics products. The Company’s primary business is creating, developing and publishing interactive games for consoles and personal computers. SDVI has developed software for the world’s top game publishers, including Electronic Arts, Crytek, Expresso Fitness, and SNK Playmore.

They publish and design video games, which is rare to be able to do both. They have worked with both Nintendo, and Sony. Check out their site at http://www.signaturedevices.com/

Keep an eye on them, theyre going up… you dont want to miss it.

REASONS TO CONSIDER THIS STOCK
* Company targets the booming worldwide $30 billion video game industry.
* Licensed game developer/publisher for the populart game consoles.
* Management team have vast experience in the technology industry
* 2008 is the year that video game titles launched by Signature Devices will double compared to 2007.
* Christmas time is always the biggest season for Signature Devices, and they plan to ship several products during that time.

So if you already have SDVI, keep it, if you havent bought it yet, you should. Christmas is coming up quick.

I have been looking into one stock. Signature Devices (SDVI), well the only reason i started looking into SDVI was because i got spammed on it. (See Spamming does work) Anyway, at the time it was at $0.45 after a couple days research it went up to $0.55 and then again to $0.59 and by the time i bought my first share it was back down at $0.50. I know what you’re thinking, “thats only fifty cents, why bother?” well why not? its my first trade and i dont know what im doing so the loss is minimal. well turns out i didnt buy just one share i bought 2500. i was excited and pumped i was sure this stock was going to go up and up. Everything i read showed it was going up and that i had made the right decision.

All of that took place back in May, its not august and SDVI is now worth $0.16, if thats not disappointing then i dont know what is. My first trade, my first loss; oh how exciting the stock market is. However i am still confident that it will go back up. I recently read they are filing to get out of the pink sheets and registered on the Nasdaq. If this is the case, and my understanding is correct, theyre stock will go up to atleast $1.00 doubling my money.  Its a good thing i didnt want to sell the stock.

As of now though, i guess ill have to be patient to see if the stock does anything or goes anywhere. until next time.

So I decided i was going to get involved with the stock market. But i had no idea what i was doing, i just knew that my grandparents were in it, and that my grandfather would always tell me to invest in the stock market. Mainly because “You earn more interest in the stock market than you do in a bank account”. Well thats entirely true, but its also more risky. So with reward comes risk, or is it with risk comes reward? oh well i digress.

So what is the stock market? Of course thats the first question i need to know to get started. The stock market is a market where you buy stock. Well no freaking duh, but that doesnt help much for understanding. According to Wikipedia “The expression ’stock market’ refers to the system that enables the trading of company stocks (collective shares), other securities, and derivatives. Bonds are still traditionally traded in an informal, over-the-counter market known as the bond market. Commodities are traded in commodities markets, and derivatives are traded in a variety of markets (but, like bonds, mostly ‘over-the-counter’). The stock market is not a specific place, though some people use the term “Wall Street”—the main street in New York City’s financial district—to refer to the U.S. stock market in general.”

Why would i want stock? Owning stock in a company means owning part of that company. This part is called a share. If a company has issued 100 shares of stock, and you bought one, then you own 1% of that company. People who own stock are called stockholders, or shareholders. Stockholders hope the company will earn money as it grows. If a company earns money, the stockholders share the profits. Over time, people usually earn more from owning stock than from leaving money in the bank, buying bonds, or making other investments.

Sounds pretty simple so far, i buy stock let it sit until it makes me money then i sell it.. wow sounds easy. Too bad its not that easy. The hardest part (atleast for me) is deciding what stock to buy, i dont want to just buy any stock, i want to buy the stock thats really cheap and makes me really rich (if you know of any like that please let me know). So that where research comes in. Well first thing i had to do was open a brokerage account. Considering i have no idea what i was doing i went with the brokerage company that i already did my banking with Wells Fargo. After that i started looking up stocks and companies. I started by using a little search tool that Wells Fargo has, i searched for any stock under $5.00 (per share) i figured that was a good place to start. I also got a tip from a friend to look at a company called ValueClick. So right now i am looking at purchasing a couple of stocks

Signature Devices (SDVI)
ValueClick (VCLK)
Level 3 (LVLT)
Sun Microsystems (SUNW)

I dont know what ill buy yet, but stay tuned and im sure we will find out soon.
