Lots of Green on My Screen

I get back from my meeting to see that existing home sales rose unexpectedly. This market is certainly going to give the indecisive some fits in trying to trade it. I think the only way to be successful with all the uncertainty is to buy companies who have recently reported strong earnings.

I like the recent earnings report from GIGM, BWLD, SWHC, and NIHD. All are experiencing significant growth. I believe they will continue to be stronger than the rest of the market during any weakness, and will return double-digit percentage gains if the market continues to firm-up.

Remember, uncertainty is good. We need bears to keep shorting, and we need some fear to keep the bulls from buying this market to unsustainable levels.

3:15 ***Update*** Bought another 100 shares of TZOO @ $38.13 I am now officially margined.

Man, I've been preaching it as much as possible without pumping it. Take a look at the CC transcript at seekingalpha and the recent earnings PR.

nice call on GIGM.

on another note, I am now an MVIS shareholder. Mostly because I like their logo. Very slick.

BOO-YAH!

sdb, did you get stopped on amgn?

ShortDaBull said...

nope, don't use stops. at least not when I'm not away on vacation.

stock traded nicely in the afternoon. I still think it will bounce to 59-60 by sometime next week. I will sell at 59.00-59.50 or dump if it's below 57.50 after the first hour of trading mon.
