[w0od]

the market doesn't stop at 4 for big boards they have after hours trading the volume usually a lot lower and not as making MM's present but it still trades, same with pre market they start trading before 9:30

as for going down i see JF already answered you but another thing to watch for when it comes to news is "buy on the rumor sell on the news"

i know you hear that every where but most of the time it really is true, makes no since but welcome to trading.

[jfletcher1015]

everyone thought it would beat but when it misssed the price fell hard.

[johnnyrock]

another question??? How can you sell after hours???? If i put a sell in does it count after hours??? Is there a time frame??? And if you can't sell after hours what does that mean?? Sells place on the table for in the morning or can the tradets at the NYSE sell????

[johnnyrock]

Jflether please explain to me how JSDA can be up 7% today then at close good news is released and the stock falls..Went down as low as 8% now(at current time) down 4-5%...How does that happen??????? Thanks for explanation...

[jfletcher1015]

JSDA up 7% today.

[jfletcher1015]

August 3
No good earnings play so I will recomend (CMG) as a longer term play.

[johnnyrock]

Jflether.. Good question!!!! I use TDameritrade. It allows me to cover and sell short but I have not done that yet...I have been reading up on it..The concept seems easy...Kinda like the reverse from buying the stock to go up but only you are thinking it is going to go down...I have not done this yet but always wanted to...I have no problem doing this if you would not mind walking me through one with examples. As you can tell I am not a member but i do get 15 posts a day here. As always thanks for your help... Oh and by the way in JSDA at 14.32.......

[jfletcher1015]

earnings tomorrow after the bell. popped 2% in after hours trading. Quick question for you johnnyrock, can you sell short stocks.

[johnnyrock]

JSDA just bought... I will watch..Is news coming??? Thanks, Jfletcher

[jfletcher1015]

August 2
(JSDA) Is very risky but could explode.

[jfletcher1015]

August 1
Two earnings plays for wendsday.
1.(RIG) Transocean should blow out earnings.
2.(SBUX) Starbucks, it is a bit more risky but if they beat could pop 10%.

[johnnyrock]

Sounds good....Trying to rebuild after a slaughter last week...

[jfletcher1015]

July 31
(MA) Mastercard is the pick of the day, earnings are on wendsday and I think will be good.

[jfletcher1015]

July 30
Today I am recommending all of my stock I have picked that are down, now is a good time to get in. I want the market to finish correcting itself before I pick 1 stock on a catalyst such as earnings.

[jfletcher1015]

AMGN was up yesterday in the aftermarket but the bear market tore it down. All my positions are taking a hit here also but as soon as this correction is over which I believe will happen on monday or tuesday it is time to buy some of the longer term good trades, think of it like a sale. But if you are trading today be careful volatility can kill you.

[johnnyrock]

AMGN i might have to buy!!!These last few days have been hard on me the market socked it to me today!!! I might have to play all of your picks because mine are no good..(99% of the time)... Oh well, I am learning everyday....I think the one thing I learned Is when the market is dropping fast,Sell then rebuy when it's green....Who knows, but if I free some money up i will get AMGN in AM....Thanks

[jfletcher1015]

July 27
AMGN Amgen is a buy but is very risky

[jfletcher1015]

[jfletcher1015]

LMT is also a good pick.

[jfletcher1015]

confidence 1

[johnnyrock]

LMT is on zacks.com under stock of the day for friday the 20th they said financials are out the 24th and that was their pick...I signed up (E-mail) for a 2 week free subcription..I don't know if this will help but i figured i would share it...I will be on vaction with the family monday and tuesday but i hope to get online at least 2 times a day...I will play your picks i will check back in..Thanks, Johnny

[jfletcher1015]

TBSI looks like a good stock, only thing is it is up alot 380% YTD, I would be a bit cautious but overall bullish on it. Also where on zachs did you see the LMT recommendation. I plan on doing a bit more reserch on LMT before I really decide on it. Hope for a couple good picks next week.

[johnnyrock]

investors are recommending another transportation stock as a buy on July 20th..TBSI ??????? I know you know your stuff but just wanted to let you know about the buzz...If they are good plays then great!!!If not let stick with your research..Thanks, johnny

[johnnyrock]

What do you think about LMT one of the largest defense contractors earnings are reporting on July 24th and are suppose to be good..All theat comes from Zacks.com ( what do you think???)..

[johnnyrock]

In NM ( the only major stock)
In 5 hurricane penny stocks
1 penny stock lotto play (.0001)
and 6 other worthless penny stocks
I just sold BHXT
I am trying to clean up my account. I should be ready for another pick next week...And if I sell NM maybe 2 picks....my portfolio is staying even..( which by the way, Isn't much)But you never know what could happen...... Thanks, Johnny

[jfletcher1015]

July 23
Not a earnings play but CAT is a good pickup after it sold off after mixed earnings, stock is going to 100.

Also GOOG fell so It looks great here as it is going to 600.

[jfletcher1015]

ISRG I sold on July 6, up 31% today. I wish I would of held on.

[jfletcher1015]

thanks glad to break that bad streak with intc.

[johnnyrock]

SLB nice pick jflether!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jfletcher1015]

Great pick,couln't have picked a better stock myself. That sector is extremly hot. I just looked and it is best in its sector.

In the future you should post if you find any other good stocks.

[johnnyrock]

Ok friday earnings sounds good.. I just jumped on the cargo/Freight sector..got in NM this morning up 10% today..Analysts say the sector will be hot until eairly 2008???? johnny

[jfletcher1015]

July 20
(SLB) Slumberger earnings friday.

confidence 3

[jfletcher1015]

I thought Intel would be a good play for earnings. I was wrong. The reason for the after hours tumbel is a low gross profit margin number. Earnings for the entire market have been good but the stocks have been falling.

Now to an Intel Strategy, I see two good options.

1.Sell Intel tommorow morning at the open, cut your losses and move on to the next pick.

2. Intel falls big tommorow, 5%. Then wait until thursday for a rebound probably 2 or 3 %, in a month the stock should be trading alot higher maybe near 30 bucks up 15% from where it is at after hours.

There is a highly unlikly 3rd scenario which is the stock opens higher due to afterhours not meaning crap, which does sometimes happen. If that happens then sell at the open

As for a wednesday earnings play, there isn't one. I want to look at how companys report on wednesday then I hope to have one on thursday. I'm doing this beacause KO and INTC should both have been up.

This market is worring me so here is what I think for tommorrow.Overall wednesday I think the DOW closes 170 points down, but I could be 100% wrong and the DOW be 100 points up.

Johnnyrock I hope this helps.

[jfletcher1015]

July 18
No Pick for today.

[johnnyrock]

INTC what's the stategy here??? Should it rebound tom??? Surprised me that it took a dip after hours.. What do you think tom will bring?? If it dips more are you out or are you holding??

[jfletcher1015]

I will try to have tommorrows pick later tonight
