  2. it doesn't really take that long about 5-10 hrs a week.

    i just get ideas from everywhere and then i enter very small positions and add if it goes my way and cut back if it doesn't .
    the money management takes about 1/2 hr a day

    PPHM is on a BK watch. I'm already short as part of my garbage strategy but I'm on the lookout for a possible intraday large short on BK rumors/facts

    a possible scam.

    According to Yahoo messageboards there was a post on Value Investors Club http://www.valueinvestorsclub.com/
    about the stock that moved it in the middle of the day.

    Can anyone provide a copy of the VIC post here or by PM?

    Not sure if it was PCX or some other bankrupt company - the suggestion you made after that was to wait for a mainstream (eg. Bloomberg) story about Chapter 11 filing, before taking a larger short position.

    Although the Tweeps are saying that Debtwire did get PCX right previously.

    update about share price decline but nothing specific about Chapter 11 or other restructuring:

    Shares of Overseas Shipholding Group Inc. (OSG, $4.11, -$1.06, -20.50%) took a big hit amid investor concern that it has maxed out it lending facilities and could soon face a liquidity squeeze. Shares have been on the decline pretty much since 2008 amid a rough shipping market. Debtwire, citing two hedge fund analysts, said late last week that Goldman Sachs and UBS are shopping around about $100 million in the tanker's revolver, looking to create a market for the debt before OSG needs to refinance early next year.
