Saleem,

Saleem,

Wow, low of the day! I will watch out for a stable condition before moving in again. Thanks for the warning last Friday. LULU seems found its footing. If it hold for several days. I may add in.

Saleem,

I am 70% on cash and I don't play short well, so I hope for the Bulls. I agreed. Sometimes, "washout" will blow away all of the bubble and start a solid footing for the next Bulls. In your experience, is it better to start a position before or after the split? Thanks.

Hi Michael,

History of split is mixed..some go DOWN some go UP....

LULU..like any stock....needs to be bought IF you are a believer in their business model & IF their price seems RIGHT......

LULU is down 16.96% from its high & it is a growth company.....

I am holding for its split & earnings report.....BUT that is just me.....

IF you want to WAIT for ER..then buy after they report.
