two timer

Hey Lizzy darling and old partner. I miss you like crazy ! Making money these days ? Have to say, I've been doing really well staying away from the pennies.

Nothing lately. Just chillin this winter, laying low. Been teaching and rebuilding the house.

I've seen that pump before. Buyer beware.

That just makes me sad

Nice !!

Another new one for you. ODFL. MAJOR stage 2 breakout (very powerful) above 39 buy point. This will probably pull back to 38.75 or so at which point it is a screaming buy with upside stage 2 target in the 75 region before the next pullback. This is in a long term uptrend though and is a good long term hold.

LULU is insane

Yes I should have

I still own SODA, now up 73% from my first recommendation.

My newest purchase is JVA, bought on Wednesday at 20.13
I should have bought it at 10 on the initial breakout, but I really like this stage 2 follow thru in increasing volume. This one is going to be a 10 bagger.

Thanks for noticing Tina. Yes I actually bought SODA at $43.78 for a nice 26% gain so far. Holding with this nice breakout.

More important than the (trailing) multiple is the PEG ratio which takes into account the growth rate in earnings. High multiples are warranted for companies with high earnings growth rates. So a PE of 44 is not too high for a company with very high growth potential. Of course, if SODA does not achieve 40%+ growth, the stock price will be hit.

Possible swingtrade:

SODA is getting hammered today on news of an offering. But the fundamentals are excellent, the uptrend has not broken (it's only moved down the the moving average) and the stock has positive support and following. I expect a bounce back up soon with the possibility of a 10-15% gain in the next two weeks.

I don't think that is a storm - just sunset. It does not rain much on the west side of the big island - it rains only 5 days a year. I can't wait to go back - I'll let you know when I'm going !

SODA getting hammered today. I sold it two weeks ago after a nice gain. I may buy it again here.

By the way, it's coming up on my one year anniversary of visiting the location below in my siggy. That is Hilton Waikoloa Village on the Big Island of Hawaii. Paradise.

Hi

I talk to myself all the time. Especially when I'm making money.

RAX also turned out to be a good long term holding, just as I predicted. Up 22% since my Feb. 2 posting, and uptrend continues.

I am great. Busy. See my other message to Tina (and you). I'll be more available when school gets out (I'm teaching now, math - Loving it !). Will be building/traveling/trading in the summer.

I love it when two talk about me. It makes me so HOT.

I saw your PM Tina. Thanks. THe sentiment is returned 10 times over, speargirl. I'm busy re-establishing my career these days, so don't subscribe to IHub or visit very much. I'm still invested. I don't trade much - I'm more long term, big boards now. I've given up on pennies/OTC and now stick to big board only. NASDAQ is the place to be.

My stocks that I told you about (LULU, JOBS, RAX, etc.) are going great, at new highs. You can add QLIK to the list. Check it out.

regards,
Wizzy

Good morning Fizzy. Where have all the cowgirls gone ?

CMG has been a very good stock for me. Long term hold. Bought 100 at 104.15 in Feb 2010 and another 100 at 218.10 last month.

Looking real good Lizzy. I love you in green !

Or you could have held them like I did. RAX 37 Feb Calls 3.20. Nice 156% profit. I'm selling Monday.

Maybe time to sell those RAX Feb 37 calls at 1.83 for a nice 45% profit, or you can wait till tomorrow and hope for another gain. Getting close to expiration though and premiums decline quick in the last week.

I have been great. Stayed away from IHUB for awhile so I could concentrate on making money in the market, and advance my career. Both accomplished. I've been spending a lot of time outdoors this winter removing snow (and now ice too).

My investing strategy has gone back to investing in proven growth stocks. I tried pennies/pinks for a couple of years but that failed. I lost money. Made 27% in my trading account last year. My biggest winner was JOBS up 125% for me.

I should know better....

Here's one to make a few pennies and forget about past losses.

RAX breakout today. You can buy the stock long term, or you can play the breakout with Feb 37 calls at 1.25 and make a double within the next few days.

I actually made a couple of dollars on that one, and got out before the big fall. As I remember, I think I was in at about 1.60 and out at 1.64. Raw might remember.

Good morn. I have to clear the ice today.

Remember this one ? What a dog now.

Good morn. Something to thaw the ice......

understand

Apologies again. Here are two momentum stocks for you to consider. Both long term uptrends ready for new breakouts:

Sorry Griff. FYI, sometimes those pennies turn out very well. Example: GGP. I bought this one in 2008 at 50 cents and sold it at a dollar. Look at it now:

CCME has broken down below the trend lines on the short term chart and has gapped down. I'd wait to see it stage a comeback before I would get back in. Looks way too risky for a short term play. For long term, I see a long term uptrend from the breakout of last two Octobers. I see long term support at 16. I see it bounced off of 16.25 which is a good sign. I'd be a cautious long term buyer between 15 and 16.25 with a stop loss at 14.50. If it breaks below 14.50 then the rally looks done and I'd wait for a new breakout. Long term chart:

I'll check out CCME. Yes, got snow. About 6 more inches on top of the feet of snow we've had so far. Check it out:

hey there Fizzy. What's cooking ?

Hey there Tina. Been a long time. Have been staying away from ihub, but still investing. Made a nice return on my trading account last year. Still holding AAPL and GOOG long term. Bought JOBS at 23.12 and still holding. New investments the past few months include AKAM, RAX, QLIK, LULU, CMG. Sold NFLX last year at 100 and missed out on another 100%+ gain. Oh well. Some charts of my new holdings:

Real inflation has not been reported for many years now. The cost of living has been inflating at a 5%+ annual rate as your chart link shows. By falsely reporting low inflation, the Fed can continue to inflate. The result, when combined with deficit spending, will result in the next financial crisis: the collapse of the US dollar.

Dude, that post was a year ago.

By traditional measures, the recession was over last year. But since corporations have been hoarding cash ($2 trillion) at record levels, the GDP growth has not resulted in an other measure of recovery. Just today, a survey showed that 75% still think we are in a recession. The reason is that 3/4 see no recovery in their own condition or the economy.

As the old saying goes, if you are underemployed, it is a recession to you. If you are unemployed, it is a depression.

So, if the recession is truly over, and economic activity has increased, then why is there not any job growth ? It's been a year since the recovery began. Why such a long delay ?

And, if the recession is truly over, that means the stimulus worked, and Obama deserves credit for policy that got us out of recession. You are giving Obama credit, right ?

Answer those questions genius.

By the way, my portfolio is up 27% this year. So, I'm doing fine. Hope you are making money too (I'm sure you are).

Interesting graphic. The decline here is tame compared to the rest of the world.

The thing about cash cows is that they are in a mature market. By far the biggest margins at IBM are in software and consulting. The consulting work has been so mismanaged by idiots and morons who call themselves expert consultants that they are in serious decline. Software is holding up very well.

Despite dumping a lot of money into research, IBM has not come up with any major new products in a long time. They are in the slow decline phase. HPQ has already passed them in revenues, and Apple will some day too. Remember Westinghouse ? Honeywell ? RCA ? The list goes on of companies that went through the slow death. IBM is in the beginning of the decline.
