what bubble the economy is fine haha http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/29/black-friday-violence_n_4360899.html
With a rip roaring 5 year eps growth rate of 2.5 % during the great recovery and a stellar 6% eps growth rate this year and a "koolaid" projected 10% for 2014 this hot company Is still up 40% in the last 12 months after getting cloberred on a downgrade today due to what? Why valuation for one. That analyst better get back in line. 3M , MMM.
Right, so whats the point, well none really. Just that tech gets a lot of attention while stealth comcerns like AIZ a dental PPO provider is up better than Priceline over the last 12 months. Auto parts and sequester battered defense stocks are stright up also. Again, no point really, just saying.
Today again ADI up, when market is clearly down. You see, they figured the CEO right: he announced dividend today, yet three days ago he announced the negative news! Read my post about how the market thought he would say the opposite. The CEO did like you: You said down and yet sold puts, and he said lower guidance, yet today announced dividend. Post of last Friday (three days ago): I believe in figuring out what a CEO would do, not what he utters from a bullcraping mouth.
ADI announces the dividend on its Q report. I did not see any special report today. Do you mean a special dividend? The dividend rate is less that 3% a year. I believe the reason should be something else.
