Seriously - not sure if it's a breakout or fake out. The DOW has not been along for the ride.

after you posted that I posted this

you are a "hot head"

everything is oversold today

the Rut 2000 was like "1 stock up for every 73 down" at one point

that's epic

the market likes to revert back to the mean - it does not like to be at extremes.

lets say it goes into the abyss at the end of the day - maybe one could pick up some rut 2000 and try for a one day bounce

Are there any earnings reports that folks are following?

Keeping an eye on MSFT. Many of my apple/google loving techish friends have been raving about microsoft's Surface tablet, as opposed to more expensive/inferior alternatives. I have yet to use it. Word is that they are selling very well. May mean for a better than expected ER.

Back to looking at Sprint as well. Will be interesting to see things shake out for S. See if the unlimited data, new phones, new owner, aggressive advertising, clearwire acquisition show up in this ER.

I'd keep my eye on COH for a buying opportunity in the next day or so. Good companay getting slammed today. One of the only things I have been adding to is BX, it's been a monster for me.

how did you know when to buy BX ?

(it was range bound for years after being annihilated in the crash of 08 )

When I saw they where becoming the largest holder of single family homes in the US, to rent out then to sell. I believe that to be a valid game plan, did the same myself 1.5 years ago but jumping aboard their ship seemed like a good idea as well.

I have read some interesting comments about the profit margins on some of these tablets. Nobody appears to be making any money on them besides Apple. What good is selling a bunch if there is no profit? Sure, gaining market share, but without it translating to the bottom line, it will be hard for it to translate to the the stock price.

Just in general - BX has some brilliant managers. It is hard to go wrong with wise solid management in any company.

I can see the the point other then Amazons, where they embed themselves into the tablet in order to assimilate you into the collective.

Come on. We all know Rob is the real reason we keep coming back to this thread. Now we are even getting dating advice. Pure entertainment. I can't wait to try some of his techniques on my wife. Should be good for a "are you an idiot?" or a slap.

My bet on atrs has not paid out yet. Their drug was approved by the FDA, but the stock is down a few %. The stock market often does not make sense.

That is for sure. I think if you buy a great business at a good price eventually it will make sense, the problem is our emotions get the best of us and we sell just because a stock price is not doing what we want even thought the business is doing great.

Anyone interested in IBM. It is in the tank lately, but long term it could be a good one.

(And Rob, you know we love you, we just won't cut you any slack. And it wouldn't be the same around here without you)

I did take a position in COH yesterday, not a big one as the warm fuzzy feeling wasn't as good as I'd liked.

let me tell you guys what the next big story will be

CHINA

they are pulling back on the punch bowl

here is real game - you can have charts and warm fuzzy feelings but right now all that matters is injection of liquidity.

Paul - do you agree ?

The market was spooked by a full percentage point rise in 7-day repo contracts on talk of tightening liquidity to fight inflation and credit bubbles

Hard to keep up with Rob. Five days ago it was this. I don't know how I would follow his advice even if I wanted to.

just keep buying - there is no top ..................

next stop - 1800

Anyone else notice that when AAPL drops 10-20 pts. we see an alert to that effect. But when it's up over 50 pts straight up, as in 10 of the last 11 days, there is nothing but silence?

good job ! - its up 6% after hours

you knocked it out of the park on that one for sure

Dean-

the market will go up as long as Europe/China/ US keep printing.

I even posted a graph showing the correlation on this thread.

it looks like they will keep printing but anything can happen.

did I sell ? - no

just talking about what happened one particular day - that's it

China spooked the market for a moment - am I wrong if so why ?

otherwise all that could be said is:

we are in a uptrend - it is possible that the market could drop for a indeterminate period of time and of a variable duration before ultimately continuing upward

that make you happy ?

Edited by trioderob

did I sell ? - no

You never bought.

As of 7 trading days ago you were posting

loooookkk outttt beeeeellllloooooooooowwww.....................................

and you said you were still out a week before that. You were going to tell me when you bought back in.

no Dean -

did not buy yet - the time will come soon

not sure yet

will let you know

Never happened. But of course you are long now, the market is going up.

you have no clue what i actually did

how much I was in

all a guess on your part

same as your apple trade

were you in 2% or 90 % ???

Edited by trioderob

you have no clue what i actually did

I guess I am not suppose to listen to your own words.

I am 100% out and watching

I kept asking when you were getting back in. But you kept saying "not yet, not yet, I'll tell you when" - as late as the 12th.

But you never mentioned a thing. And now we are supposed to believe you picked the turn and are back in making big profits?

Good thing you can only edit for a few minutes.

I had described it as over sized. For a while there it was about 65% of my holdings. Now it is about 30% since it has had such a nice run.
