Stoney! My proprietary VZ software has finally given me a flashing green light. Good thing VZ doesn't listen to your cut and paste analyst upgrades. QDEL now has the blessing. $131 Earnings on 11/4 - le savante
i think it's a fine pick. the problem is the market/shorts/algos, it just kills this stuff until there are actually earnings, etc, to keep it honest. one day this stock that you can't give away will suddenly become the thing everyone wants.
Hey I screwed up I had a tip yesterday on CRocs and I didn't pass it along. It wasn't much of a tip it was an upgrade stating they had no supply chin issues I didn't act because FL said the same thing and sank but I got caught short because CROcs reported the next day and is up 11% I owe you one.- stoney
American Air: Business travel wants to return, sees 'enormous' pent-up demand 08:36 AAL They try and use past history now to keep you in. Every situation is different. This situation says the Oct Jobs report will be STRONG. I have a feeling that all those folks who did not go back to work are slowly running out of money and eyeing the holidays. They are lots of jobs available and once a few go for them it will become a landslide. The tipping point to that landslide comes in the Oct Jobs report. Maybe Van can figure out the exact day but you want to be positioned with 10% cash or even against the market as the celebration of jobs fades and people realize the Fed said even a moderately good jobs report would be enough to start draining the liquidity.~stoney
Stoney! My proprietary VZ software has finally given me a flashing green light. Good thing VZ doesn't listen to your cut and paste analyst upgrades. I should of known Van would figure it out... Yes there is no proprietary software installed by a Green haired punk rocker-- it's just me and I begin drinking during market hours sometimes. Who would listen to me? So I tell my friends and family it's the software making me raise cash and they don't ask questions.
