One thing is for sure .......... A big stock move will bring it to the attention of ET'rs, and it will be featured in a thread - too late for a good discussion. My prediction? This thread will die a quick death to be replaced by the next shooting star or plunging meteorite.
WTW is a nice stock to trade, the Options are a big more challenging while the common is enjoyable. I do not understand how a Billionaire woman who has someone who cleans for her, does all her meal planning, get's her out of bed to force her to do her PE. Oprah made money no power of her own, how did she know a stock so heavily shorted would go up 3x? Men and women who attend WTW shops have nothing in common with Oprah, how will she change things?
exactly because it's so heavily shorted.. and because people want to be in the next hot billionaire play like VLTC.. it has nothing to do with the company, I'm expecting it to hit 20 dollars.
Common Sense tells the investor that Oprah's Winfrey offer's nothing to the common man or woman struggling with weight issues. We have been through many of these Stars joining a company only to forget what the fundamental issues are. Americans are stressed, their dealing with severe depression and anxiety so I can't understand how Oprah is relevant to someone who pays $30 a month and buys WW frozen foods. She is not in touch with the little guys, they in a league of their own. The purchase of her home made all the newspapers because she ended up driving up real estate all over this area by 20% minimum. I hope she sold some of her shares and buys some back at lower prices or do they become restricted? "Oprah’s house in Montecito has been talked a lot about since she purchased the property in 2001, which she admits was a “compulsive purchase”. Oprah’s estate is a 42 acre property overlooking the ocean from high up in the mountain foot hills of Santa Barbara County, California. The 23,000 sq. ft. mansion and estate is valued by Zillow.com at $87,987,066.00 with $904,239.00 paid in taxes for 2012. Oprah’s house in Montecito was built in 1959 and has undergone extensive renovations since she purchased it. According to public records, the fully renovated estate has 6 bedrooms, 14 bathrooms, 10 fireplaces, a modern high tech gourmet kitchen, state-of-the-art theatre, wine cellar, a barn, orchards, two ponds, an outdoor theater, tennis court, a 4,500 sq. ft. guest house with pool, an outdoor entertainment area, and even a manmade lake stocked with fish. Public records also show a 2,000 sq, ft., 2 bedroom, 2 bath stone guard-gatehouse at the entrance to the property that sits on 2 acres and is valued at over $5 million alone. Here’s a little history on the property. – Oprah bought the property, which has both ocean and mountain views, from Southern California industrialist Robert Veloz and his wife, Marlene. They had been living in the property’s 2,000 square foot stone gatehouse since it was rebuilt in 2000. The Velozes had purchased the property for $14 million in 1998, a few months after the death of former owner Eloise Bacon at age 100. Bacon and her late husband, John B.F. Bacon, had owned the property since 1935. John Bacon, who died in 1964, was the grandson of John Baptiste Ford, founder of the glass company Libby-Owens Ford. The Bacons had built an 8,000 square foot, ranch house on the site in 1957 (which has now been turned into the 23,000 square foot main house). A 6,000-square-foot redwood house, later used for guests, was built in 1912 (Now also renovated by Winfrey to serve as her guest house). The Velozes undertook a major renovation of the houses and grounds with the help of Corinna Gordon Interior Design of Montecito and Los Angeles. The designer spent nearly three years on the project, doing a lot of the architectural detailing and other work. The Velozes, supporters of such organizations as the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Santa Barbara Symphony and Santa Barbara Zoo, had planned to hold fund-raisers on the estate. The Velozes’ plans changed when Oprah Winfrey came to town in April 2001 from Chicago to shoot photos for her magazine, O. She fell in love with Santa Barbara and made the Velozes an offer they couldn’t refuse, $50 million. The refurbishing wasn’t complete, but Winfrey wanted the property anyway. $50 million changed the Velozes minds, as they were beginning to think that they didn’t need such a big home despite the fun they were having fixing it up. They had rebuilt the gatehouse, changing its layout and https://billionaireaddresses.wordpr...bove-an-aerial-diary-of-her-montecito-estate/
If I were you, I would make WTW stock a heavyweight in my portfolio...it's blowing up. you're currently missing out. ...the stock is up 170% in two days. -- Party like it's 1999
I kicked myself in the shins because I sold my CALM prematurely, stock ended up heading to $63.40 and my options 100 contracts had another $2.10 left to pick. Yesterday my focus was WTW because I knew how ugly this Short Squeeze was going to be. Do Hedge Funds still put stocks like WTW in Cash-Accounts to reduce access to the shares and raise the cost of borrowing? WTW, my opinion is I bought 40+ contracts of the Dec $17 Puts and if I lose it, no big deal because the amount of cash I made slamming the $13s yesterday was great! We need to look out for great ideas, there's a website you can get a subscription from called "Buy-In", I think you might like it!
We never give ourselves credit for leaving stocks like HAS because their not acting good or slap ourselves on the backs for holding stocks like EXR, PSA, CUBE and dumping weak oil stocks! I dumped my VRX and AGN and do I give myself a "slap on the back?" no! We don't slap ourselves on the back because we did what were suppose to do!
Oprah buying it is big. Free spokeswoman? I can't imagine WTW surviving, but Oprah is basically smart money. She's hand in hand with Buffet. I think price will come back and give a chance for a re entry.
WTW is a wonderful short very very soon...Oprah the death bell for an under the radar stock like WTW..it will soar like a comet and burn out brightly into powder people will be waiting for all of her WTW appearances, all of her WTW promotions...they will not come. Her weight is her biggest problem
