Sold TEVA 43.50 small loss
Sold half my QID @ 67.10. Holding half O.N.
Great ! I'm getting thirsty munching on pistachios.
Hey Bale, I really liked that Fat Tire Beer. Does BWH still stock it? :) Barb
Jerry, I was just looking for picks on the earnings list and came across Autozone (AZO) That sounded like a good tanker to me , so I looked it up and couldn't believe what a great chart it has! I don't know if I'll find any picks today.
Jerry, Having both of you pick it was a heads up for me. I wasn't thinking along those lines :) Barb
Hi Jerry. I noticed that MWM also called SKF for tanker. Barb
do you mean that you think we start a rally tomorrow?
JNJ for years has been trading between 50 and 70. This morning I looked at weekly and monthly charts and noticed that in Oct. They both fell below their 50 MAs. The charts look grim to me. I haven't looked at the fundies for awhile.
Warren Buffet reduced his position by 54% in the 4th qtr.
Taking off here for a couple hrs. I won't be surprised if I'm stopped out of TEVA while I'm gone.
JNJ Baby, I'm really interested in why you like JNJ here.
Nice trade on FSLR, AD.
Thanks, Ico, but don't expect me to be loyal. I did go long TEVA this morning @44.01
QID Long @ 64.15
Hi Ico. Red for me. This is a new experience, being on the same side as you. :)
ot
Jerry, I couldn't leave for the weekend without commenting. The University of California has made outstanding contributions including 20 Nobel Prize winners from CAL. The first biotech company (Cetus) was founded by a Berkeley nobel laureate. CAL and UCLA compete very well with the ivies (I know of 2 students that chose CAL over Harvard and that was when the economy was good). from the UCD website: "For every state dollar invested in UC Davis, the state of California got at least $5 in return." and "UC Davis has generated 45,000 jobs for the state of California" I could go on and on but will just say the University of California enhances the quality of life for all California residents. We also have a great community college system that contributes hugely with more practical training.
I also applauded the Obama speech.
Oops! gotta watch how I address these posts. :)
I hadn't finished my coffee yet but I perked up when he mentioned SRS this morning.
Early this morning I heard someone on CNBC give two picks: SRS and CELG.
I dont know who he was.
OT. It sounds beautiful.
TEVA strong today.
VIX, Thanks, Jang, I read it VERY quickly and am thinking the relatively low VIX means the market continues lower. I bookmarked the site to read more carefully later.
Where did you go skiing? I'm leaving midday today for a weekend ski trip.
Jang, how do you interpret the $VIX being so much lower now than it was at the Nov. lows?
BARE, I glanced over the report and it sounded good, but it didn't make it to my watch list.
FSLR green, didn't have the balls to buy it at the open.
TEVA may benefit from FDA action barring importation of generics made by Ranbaxy

TEVA may also benefit from news that Obama seeks generic biotech medications

BARE up on earnings, another backwards tanker pick for me.
4:21PM Bare Escentuals beats by $0.02, beats on revs; guides Q1 EPS below consensus (BARE) 2.87 +0.04 : Reports Q4 (Dec) earnings of $0.26 per share, $0.02 better than the First Call consensus of $0.24; revenues rose 0.3% year/year to $147.1 mln vs the $142.1 mln consensus. Co issues downside guidance for Q1, sees EPS of $0.12-0.15 vs. $0.23 consensus. Co says, "Due to the tightening of trade inventories across all consumer products, our first-quarter shipments have been adversely impacted. As a result of lower sell-in, we expect to see a meaningful decline in overall first quarter net sales versus the prior year. However, our corresponding domestic retail sell-through for the quarter is trending positive to last year. We do not view first quarter net sales trends to be indicative of full year expectations. Due to this shift in purchasing behavior, the co expects Q109 net sales to decline in the teens on a percentage basis versus the prior year."
Gapper = DXO, Tanker = BARE
Great! A smart way to cut expenses.

Hi Paul, I can tell you didn't buy a Mac :) Sounds really frustrating. Barb
Gapper = MF
Thanks, Mike.
Is FITB one of the 19 banks to be given the stress test?
Hey Lizzy. there's a Peets in Boston. I was so surprised when I was watching "Good
Will Hunting" years ago and they were drinking Peets.
FSLR. Watching for a great bargain. I'd love to get some under $100. Not all analysts downgraded:
Piper Jaffray kept a buy
Collins Stewart reit buy, target $175/sh
Deutsche Bank target $150/share
Citi target $160/share
Merrimam curham Ford maintians buy
I read the transcript and was impressed and appreciated the caution.
I earned it, Bale. Hurry up!
Back to SDS. Whenever Susan posts SKF for a gapper, bulls watch out! Gotta go run in the rain, its really late for my run and Bale is making me hungry talking about really good cinnamon rolls.
TNA stopped out 16.32. I'm going to be mad if thats the lod.
BAC went green.
Agreed SKF and SRS are really stressful. I had a panic situation at one point with SKF a few months ago, as I recall it moved about 20 points in 30 minutes. Maybe when I get more comfortable with short trades I'll try it again. I had a very nice 20' SDS trade this morning and thats a scalp for me!
TNA Trying some long @ 16.74. I traded it yesterday and liked it. I had thought 3X would be way to much adrenaline for me.
