How are we looking sfter $2.91 resistance?
Yeah I was just thinking that after I posted that this type of volume doesn't add up for traders. Something coming soon. Can't wait.
Ha. I know what you are saying.
Sadly the investor here tends to be left in the dark, but the trader don't care much about anything other than the movement. So, with that being said, this is one where I may exercise my options and remain long.
I think it's the chart readers really really liking what they see.
Correct
Once we clear $43.14, we'll shoot through 45 IMO.
Very good volume and upward price movement today. Folks might want to hop in now before news breaks us out to 3.50
MACD screaming lift off here. Hope so
Why is Starbucks trying to steal from its customers? Pretty bad business practice. How they get slapped with big penalties.
I would but I'm just an options player outside of retirement and college funding accounts. No doubt you are right though.
Looks like it. I might be back. Nothing goes up forever, right?
Good luck to you moving forward. Appears strong against charts.
Correct. That's why I left with just a small profit, but profit nonetheless.
Bdubs on CNBC this morning. Looks like they have been killing it with Super Bowl and look to continue to during final four march madness.
Investors are cheering the mess at the Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL) formerly known as Google.
And it is a mess. When a unit's CEO is attacked, by name, by a man who sold his start-up to it for millions of dollars, you have a problem.
Nest isn't the only "moonshot" that is causing agita. There are reports that Google is openly shopping its robotics lab, Boston Dynamics, and there are reports of Boston Dynamics being "broken up" for failing to deliver revenue. There are problems at the life sciences unit, Verily.
Yet the stock popped 2% on March 29, and seems poised to go even higher. Investors like the idea that CFO Ruth Porat is delivering discipline at the search giant, separating the gold out from the dross, and letting the sins of the past be exposed to air so they can be expunged.
But if CEO Larry Page is not very good at finding underlings for what amount to "hobbies," what does that say about his general leadership?
Google's growth is slowing. Revenues rose just 17% between its December 2015 quarter and the previous year. Since the blow-out second quarter of 2015 came in, the stock is up just 16%.
More important the company appears to be getting lazy. Google Plus is finally dead, Google Finance isn't getting updated regularly (the last Google financials on it at this writing were from last June) Google News still produces no revenue. Google Fiber is becoming just another cable service and that can't help its reputation. The Google Cloud seems to be getting a new lease of life under Diane Greene, but those revenues aren't broken out so it's hard to tell.
Google's problems, in other words, may go deeper than just a few miserable leaders at some worthless moonshots. Google is getting lazy and it's getting sloppy. Larry and Sergey are now worth more than the Koch brothers, but they seem not to have decided what they want to be when they grow up.
Which begs the question, why then is Google worth 33 times earnings? The search franchise remains intact, and the company's ability to monetize both it and its YouTube videos continues to impress. But even YouTube is now catching competition, or did you notice it could have become Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) or Amazon Prime (NASDAQ:AMZN) and chose not to, because, reasons?
I think Alphabet is going through a sort of mid-life crisis. The leaders are the right age for it. But would a Porat-led Alphabet really deliver the goods shareholders are paying for when they spend 33 times earnings for the stock? Can the Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) approach really work in Silicon Valley, or do the best programmers really need a little romance, or at least the promise of romance, to perform?
My spidey sense says this company is in trouble. If Porat decides to split the stock and hand out dividends in the next year, sell.
Of course the day I get in bad news immediately drops about inner turmoil. Figures.
Nice news this morning. Of course price action isn't reflecting. Likely fed talk fear again
It's the royalties that they need to worry about. Could get very expensive for them.
Got mine good for June at 3.90. $90 strike price
Puts here.
Holding strong here after earnings. Billings will increase, no worries.
Congrats on your success. Shorting based on the soon to be ill sentiment of the public opinion of Gilead upon the decision for penalties that will be imposed, whether appealed or not. The crowd will react accordingly to the judgement and I will be ready with my short position to collect the negative reaction which will result at that time. It's merely a momentum play based on upcoming imminent reaction of scared investors. When they hear 10% royalties and 2 billion, that makes them nervous. I'm quite certain this will be appealed and the company will rebound, provided the develop something new and worthwhile. If not no growth to note.
Good timing to get out and get short the other day. Not looking good here for a little while. Damn You Merck!
We'll see. Historically I've done really well at reading the technicals and this one screams resistance ahead
Good time to get short
Definitely doesn't look good, unless you are short of course.
I have seen some analysts saying to expect a drop to about $330-$350 if she cracks the 200 MA.
Lol, sure did. Hope you stayed in to get your short options. Nice set of news for you these past few days to drop it like this
Best of luck. I got till June. Might not make it to end of day though at this rate. Gotta take profits when they r there.
I'm thinking bounce on and off pivot of $492 to $500 today. Eow close $525
I was tracking the $478 support zone and bought as soon as it broke. Glad I did.
Welcome all valeant sellers. Bring your friends.
Ewww weee look at her come back. Glad I optioned in when it was down $27 on the day.
After today it only moves up.
Lol. 680-700 sure
I love it. Call Options for April are dirt cheap now. One of best buying opportunities you'll see all year IMO.
So shouldn't the current PPS already have taken into account all the expected loss of revs and decline in business for this quarter? Why the drastic drop in PPS after hours because of a report on what everybody already knew? Looks like a great entry point. Let this dead dog get beat a little longer, a day or two, then time to let her ride on the long bus for the next 5 quarters or so. Shorty will have a good couple of days, but he better be ready to exit quick.
Whew! Glad I had the stones to keep averaging down. Very nice come back.
Some nice projections. Time to get this moving in the right direction.
"Down payment on long-term growth
In announcing the franchisee buyout deal last year, B-Dubs CEO Sally Smith predicted that the move would produce long-term earnings growth, even as it hurt profit in the short term. Executives backed up those words with hard numbers last week, projecting that the company will increase earnings by between 20% and 25% in 2016."- yahoo finance
Alright, here's our pullback we needed. Time for a reentry. Back to $110 by eow next week.
