Stock from a lonely pharmacist's view

I'm a 25 year old pharmacist with no social life who still lives at home with his parents. Thank you. I entered this whole stock market thing about a month ago. My boss told me that Mylan (MYL) was about to skyrocket, so I went and scrambled up what little extra money and decided to invest in order to make a little extra spending money. I had originally decided to go with a full service broker, but I looked at their commission rates and said screw that. So I went with Suretrade (ughh). After that, I switched to DLJDirect, which has been a joy. I recently went back to using Suretrade a little because, even though their service record sucks, you can't beat that 7.95 commission.

Anyway, I decided that if I was going to do this stock thing, I would do it my way and invest in stuff that I was familiar with. I bought DRMD, ADGI, ADOT, PLFM, TGEN, BANY, HNLY, and even...TFRY(what was I thinking with that one?). I never bought MYL, because frankly it was too high to begin with. I wanted to buy Microprose, but I didn't. Now I wish I had. Same thing with TDFX. Anyway, I'm really new at all this stuff, and I don't know what half the lingo means. This forum is for people to respond and comment on stocks that might be mutually interesting for all of us. I like drug stocks, computer stocks, and biomedical/tech stocks, among others. I also like girls, but investing in them is too risky. So feel free to post about anything of interest.

Warning up front: I'll probably hype the stocks I like and bash the ones I lose money on, but it will all be sincere. I don't short sell because I don't even know how to do that. So any hyping or bashing will be straight from the heart.

So post away...and remember, chicks really dig me...okay, that WAS a lie, but it's my last one.
