Way under valued here
These new Big Lots stores are great , even sell furniture
Where are all you investors.?
This stock is finally moving, guess I’m the first to notice a movement. Sam day delivery is wow.
question-- is there a site that has daily updates for big board stocks? Something similar to the OTC site. Thanks!
Hoping it continues monday
One of my brokers has a tool that I am starting to use that I can enter up to 25 ticker symbols all on the same chart. And I can create multiple charts. So I think this feature will help me.
I'll see how it goes on Monday - I'll create the charts now. It should work.
What I'm not always sure is why the charts sometimes don't start showing information in the pre-market, and sometimes do. I guess if there are no transactions on bid/ask, the chart doesn't initialize itself yet. I might need to ask about why the chart is days in the past sometimes early in the morning. It can take all the way until 9:30AM for the chart to start updating - this is a huge problem.
In the case of Red Lion Hotels, I notice it's up 11% and the conference call hasn't even taken place.
Last week, Square (ticker SQ) went up first, then way down, and then slowly back up - there was a lot of volatility - incredible volatility before and after, but perhaps it took a long time to digest the news which was complicated.
Hi Big Board Day Traders,
Can someone help me get an answer to the following question:
Is there a way to connect earnings reports on the earnings report calendar to an automatic system of alerts to alert when the price begins to go up a certain amount or a certain slope of amount. It seems that earnings often drives a huge up-swing (or down-swing) in price of a stock, and if you knew it was starting up, you could buy that stock and it would go up more.
The problem is that one can manually do the alerts but the alerts sometimes arrive late to your email or phone. I will try this again but so far it hasn't worked very well. My brokers have very nice listings of the earnings reports for each day of the month but there is no easy way to add alerts for them other than one at a time which is incredibly time-consuming and tedious. For now, I will simply pick a few of them and set alerts. Also, it would be nice to have alerts on not just price, but volume. Some of my brokers DO have it on volume and price, some just price. Anyway, just looking for a better "scanner" of the stock prices. InvestorHub has a really nice way of showing bid, ask, and insider buys and sells so it wouldn't surprise me if InvestorHub has the feature that I want. I'll experiment a little as I haven't yet tried to use InvestorHub to connect to earnings, although I've used their alert system. Any help or ideas appreciated. Thanks.
A good example is BIG LOTS (ticker BIG) went up like 13% today over a period of about an hour. A green rise can be seen.
$FB is still best of breed and worth a look on any pullback

Hurn makes 2d harsher downward e revision! a value now? huge volume selloff, but price stopped at a weekly morning star of nov 06 and an old peak of May 06, a probably good support:UPDATE: Huron Consult Cuts 1Q EPS, Rev Estimates,Shares FallLast update: 3/27/2008 10:14:54 AM
By Steven Russolillo
Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES
NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Huron Consulting Group Inc. (HURN) lost nearly a third of its market value Thursday after it slashed its first-quarter earnings and revenue estimates on weakness in its financial-consulting segment. The Chicago consulting group said it expects first-quarter net income of 50 cents to 57 cents a share, down from its initial estimates of 66 cents to 70 cents a share. The company also forecast revenue of $138 million to $140 million, which falls below its original estimates of $142 million to $147 million. Analysts polled by Thomson Financial expected, on average, first-quarter earnings of 67 cents a share on $145 million of revenue. Huron said it sees double-digit revenue growth in 2008. The company previously stated it expected full-year revenue growth of 20%. Robert W. Baird analyst Mark Bacurin cut his rating on Huron to neutral from outperform and slashed his price target to $58 from $80. In a note to clients, Bacurin said, "We continue to believe the company is well positioned for solid growth over the long term but are disappointed with the company's inability to win new business over the past few quarters given positive macro demand drivers." Shares of Huron were recently down $17.18, or 29.4%, at $41.31 on about 10 times the average daily volume of shares traded. Shares hit a 52-week intraday low of $37.59 in earlier trading. -By Steven Russolillo, Dow Jones Newswires; 201-938-2205; steven.russolillo@dowjones.com (Katherine Wegert contributed to this report.)

Hope you're done watching,lol:)
V should be a good one, I plan to keep an eye on it
I was just looking back through the charts of UYG's biggest holdings, impressive moves across the board today. IMO we still have a bumpy road ahead with the financials, but I believe the tide is turning and things should start shaping up over the coming months with these plays.
Link back for charts
WB annotated chart
I see some good things and some not so hot things here. It needs to hold support here or it could be in danger of falling some more. The good thing is, investors are split on whether the feds plan will make a difference. If it falls much I believe those that have faith in the feds plan will see it as a good buying opportunity, this may help keep it from hitting a new bottom.
Right now financials look to be down in premarket and looks like the dow will open red as well.
I really like HURN right now, it looks like it is trying so hard to gain back what it has lost.
I'm assuming the pole you are referring to is the sudden drop in the pps??
I've not done much research on the company itself so my opinion is based strictly off the charts.
Looks to me like it was a panic sell off. The price starts falling and those holding panic and dump what they have to cut losses, as more do this it just snowballs. IMO the markets had a big influence on this as well. HURN did an extremely quick turn around off bottom and has been gaining back nicely. I love these types of plays, many refer to them as a falling knife and they can treat you pretty bad if you jump in before the bottom forms. I look for more gains out of it over the next week or so. All my opinion and interpretation of course.
We just have to be careful right now as the sharp drops and big gains over the last couple days can make a chart extremely tricky to read and most are running with the dow not on their own merit.
HURN seems to be an exceptional consulting firm growth story. CEO on Feb 20 reaffirmed 08 yoy e growth @ 20-25% w organic gro of 20%. Their PE is ttm 24, twd 14.29. The only thing that killed their price on the Feb 20 call was not the 44% last qtr e (Wow!) but their forecast of a weak lst qtr because of legal financial consulting weakness - yet it wasn't all that weak! : "Huron forecast first-quarter earnings of 66 cents to 70 cents a share on revenue of $142 million to $147 million.
Analysts on average were expecting earnings of 70 cents a share on revenue of $154.9 million." (Reiters) And as a JPM analyst said 'It isn't a question of if they will benefit from the credit crisis, but when'. I think the time for this stock has come. It was 83 on the last day of 07 and suffered from a bad general mkt, but after that Feb 20 call it dropped from 65 to 48 !! Now it has stabilized and is turning up technically as cta notes. They have 4 segments to their busines. Here's yoy rev gro rates: financial+46%, Legal+13%, Health and Edu+50%, Corp+71%. Though some segments reflect new acquisitions their segments are nothing short of spectacular growth areas.
It is presently being held by an old chart gap and two low print candles. I am not proficient enough yet to interpret the pole down from Feb 20 to 29 and the pattern off it. Can you interpret?
I hadn't even noticed that, in looking back at AH prints, especially those right at and shortly after close, there are none under 30.00. Thanks for bringing that up, that will definitely shorten that upper wick on today's candle making it even more attractive for tomorrow IMO.
Another interesting thing to note, in looking at April contracts for both calls and puts, on the call side there were 158 contracts traded, only 32 on the put side, almost a 5 to 1 ratio. on the March contracts it was 419 on calls and 50 on the puts, greater than an 8 to 1 ratio.
Gives a little insight to what the investor sentiment was today. More are looking for the gains to continue and are going long while only a few are looking for a fall. It's not a sure thing by any means but it's something I like to look at and keep in the back of my mind.
cta, we'd need to check the tape to know for sure, but actually i was watching the close very carefully and the data on stockcharts.com and profitspi both appear to be wrong. the real closing price imo was 30.49.... i have no idea why the closing price would have been off for UYG today.
all this said, i agree the calls are a compelling strategy.
I agree, it's got plenty of benefits once you start looking deeper into it. As you said, one bank can get hit with something negative and as long as it's not across the board on financial plays, the rest can possibly pull you through unharmed.
I will most likely be looking at options on UYG tomorrow
UYG closed at 29.78 which gave it a 11.70% gain, not bad at all but the April 30.00 calls closed at 3.30 which put them up 57.14% over yesterday's close.
To put that in perspective, I would have made 117.00 for every $1000 I had used to buy the stock
Had I owned the calls I would have made 114.00 for every $200.00 I had put in april 30.00 calls.
Almost like playing penny stocks except the action is based on a well established play.
i favor UYG as a longer term play (on a clear signal of a turn in the financials) because it's diversified in what might otherwise be a minefield of individual stocks. for instance, the "other shoe" might drop on any one of these banks due to CDOs, etc. but i also like UYG's double leverage.
maybe we can make a longer term study of this situation, because loading the bottom of UYG and riding it back to the top on a rebound out of the recession could be incredibly lucrative.
Thanks, there's some super nice looking plays in that mix, especially if the rally is sustained for a couple days. I figured it was well worth the time to put it together as many that looked or will look at UYG won't look much further than the chart of the fund. I also wanted it for a quick reference tomorrow where I can look at all the major players without having to pull up each individual chart.
very good work --- this post is a keeper. thanks!
