Hey Saleem,

I managed to sell my 1400 shares of TUMI all at $26.08 while I was gone at my morning thing. I put in an order for $25.60 pre-market, and apparently $26.08 was the NYSE open? Massive stroke of luck there.

Catching up currently, but looking strongly at COH. Any thoughts on the decline?

I am kicking myself for not get LEN, instead I tried to go for the bounce play, RVBD. And LEN is running without me

Hey Up,

I was looking at it this morning at sub-25 even after the housing news and couldn't gather myself quickly enough. By the time it hit $25.15, I wasn't prepared to pay up that much. Now, $25.50--wow!

Hi Up,

TAPE is funny most of the time...we all have to choose between two stocks..generally the one we dont buy..runs away....

Good luck with RVBD..hope it shows some strength on day3 of slump.

Me too, don't want to chase. It just not my day.

I now you love AAPL. but is it wise to buy after report since you already have shares. If it go up, you still a happy man, but if it go down, you could average it down on much lower share price

c said...

UP

YOU are totally correct
but apple has corrected a lot
and I saved a little powder for an apple drop
Gosh I hope not
lets see how she goes.
my ERF is sucking eggs

Hey Saleem,

The waiting game is costing me all over the place. First LEN, now CLF. I think this is how a bull market pretty much goes?

Hi Stocktrader,

There are so many stocks that can be bought ...sometimes rejig of portfolio is healthy & profitable.

Good luck with your rethink !!!!

Hey Saleem,

It really seems like new housing is at a bottom--5.3 months supply?! I'm trying to decide if a homebuilder or a construction materials play is better given that homebuilders are relatively more expensive still.

Hey Saleem,

I bought LEN $25.29434 for now. I'll still be looking at some stocks like CLF and STLD/X also.

Hi Stocktrader,

Good move in buying LEN...while you are looking @ base metals check TCK also..came out with ER today & is taken as positive.

Saleem

stocktrader_1996 said...

Hey Saleem,

I see that on TCK--nice earnings. I usually stay away from TCK because it is too diversified and I like to pick my copper, coal, etc pure plays, but the earnings are hard to ignore. Also, US investors have to pay attention to the currency translation, but I think that is also in a favorable trend. All in all, looks good--I'll investigate further.
