  1. Hey Saleem,

    I sold off CRUS at 28.712 (rough price today I know, but still middle of the last month's range at least). Even though I like the longer term prospects of the stock, this price action tells me more downside might be coming this week in a real shakeout scenario. Either way, I want to be liquid to think about it a little more for now.

  2. Hi Stocktrader,

    Based on the TAPE today, you did the right thing in selling CRUS....

  3. Hey Saleem,

    LULU response an overreaction? I bought some for my trading account in AH at 66.75, but will have a bigger decision tomorrow.

  4. Hi Stocktrader,

    LULU margin is under pressure, they are doing lot more discounting than before / ever....

    Their increased guidance fell short of Wall Street consensus in sales & new EPS is now in-line with Wall Street......

    LULU was a high growth story which has slowed a lot as competition is finally catching up.....

    Hard to tell IF its an "over-reaction".....

  5. Hey Saleem,

    You know this story better than me, but aren't they notoriously conservative in guidance? There's still a couple weeks left in the quarter so leaving some wiggle room makes sense?

  7. Hi Stocktrader,


    As we all know that there are many good stories in retail..so why deal in something which is south.......

    I do indulge in some "hope & turnaround story" like JCP.....where "price is right"......

    Anyway...any stock is good IF one can make money...that could include LULU......"IF current price is right"

    You know, i always wish you well & good fortune with every trade.
