Hey Saleem,
ReplyDeleteVolume is crazy light today for a Monday. I can't tell if that means we'll have a better shake upcoming, or if this is it.
I'm still 100% long and waiting to see how this plays out.
Stocktrader
I will admit though, having KOG is helping me be patient on everything else dropping today.
ReplyDeleteHi Stocktrader,
ReplyDeleteVolume was light on Friday also.
It is a low volume market as retail has been taken to woodshed by HFT....
6% UP move by KOG is a good thing for any portfolio.....

Hey Saleem,
ReplyDeleteSwapped out my shipper TK for VMW--playing the earnings. The cloud should be strong in Q3/Q4/2012?
Stocktrader
problem about VMW's earning play is it went up too much last week and it is in a overbought environment. Personally I wouldn't play any earning this week. Even AAPL will be scary too
ReplyDeleteHi Up,
ReplyDeleteVMW was dead even in price from last Monday, so I didn't feel the "runup" problem was in play.
If I'd known the numbers and guidance ahead of time as they reported tonight, I'd have made the same decision, so I feel fine.
If the market continues to move down VMW will likely follow of course, but I like the position now if the market moves back up :).

Hi Stocktrader,
ReplyDeleteVMW is a solid company with predictable results....
In today's TAPE a beat was not good enough......
I used to trade VMW long time ago from $90+ to $130+.....those were the good old days..when ER was a pleasure......
Saleem
Hey Saleem,
ReplyDeleteYes, clearly the tape is affecting the potential for earnings pops. If the tape improves, I am pleased with my new holding and extra diversification.
