If there will be a huge gap after earnings came out , stop @72.37 could be useless.

Hi Derrik, Do you cover before earnings or keep your position?

I'm still short AMGN. The problem is that numbers are coming out tomorrow. So I will cover part of my position and buy some puts instead. IMHO numbers will be OK, that's why AMGN is up that much- insiders bought. Maybe some parallels to YHOO.

Hi Margo, I went long @ about 14 Euros, was well in the green. Intention was to let profits run, but... this turned out to be wrong for today.

I didn't know that today was earnings announcement. So it was my fault, didn't do my homeworks. I deserved to loose money, my fault, it was me, nobody else. Think in that case the problem is me. What makes it even harder is that it's a deja vue, 3 years ago I remember being caught in...

is when you get a profit warning in a long position. This happened today with NOK, down almost 20%. No chance to get out, stopp- loss useless in that situation. Portfolio not that much down because of short positions like SAP, YHOO or MDC, but still it hurts.

As mentioned, it shows an inverted hammer, which is often an indication for a reversal. I'm short for today in utsi, only intraday.

Although there is an inverted hammer I still fear shorting this stock. A final and brutal blow off on the long side is possible in order to hammer those you are short.

BP/Total spread also possible, although I will only take the long position in BP.

Maybe I better buy it directly in London. Anyone know the TWS Symbol for BP in UK? Do I have to pay stamp tax if I buy in London? Any British here?

Will buy some BP shares today around$ 39 for a swing trade. Heavily oversold area, also stops @40 triggered IMHO. Risk: moderate Possible gains: also moderate BP seems to be a boring stock, no hype at all, but makes you sleep well at nights.

12 years ago I was flipping burgers in a MCD Drive in. No question, MCD will probably be there for the next decades,but this stock is absolutely no highflyer, take my word. Also in Europe they face hard competition from Burger King.

here is the original post: 07-01-03 03:50 PM Short Big Mac I'm short MCD right now. For technical and fundamental reasons. Target $ 18. I think this looks good so far, MCD down 4% for today, which is pretty much for such a slow pig like MCD. Still, my target is around $ 18. IMHO...

I'm in the green and not only with mcd. My performance in stocks is more than 100% plus for the year so far. Take a look at my postings. Some of my trades were posted here. Long SUNW Vans Volkswagen Allianz adbe Glw Utsi Jcom Shorts: TBL Gold Coke Ebay Yhoo Amgn...

Earnings came out, pretty good, but price is down. Insiders already have known the numbers, therefore MCD was up without setbacks in the last 3 months. Buy the rumor, sell the fact. Same was true to Yhoo. Stock exchange always has been and will be an insiders game. Just IMHO.

Hi Donkell, here I am. Yes, Mcdta was a nice short opportunity, sorry for you. IMHO gap@ $ 11 will be closed. I had some put options on Yhoo before Earnings came out, but unfortunately not enough to make a killing. Just enough to pay for lunch. Utsi, Jcom still hot. Will be a...

As I'm trading for about 10 years now, I think there could be some truth that the time around 4th of July is quite bullish, whereas the time around 12th until end of July is rather bearish for stocks. Did anyone make some studies on this?

Anyone still trading the AMGN/BGEN spread? Used to be valid some years ago.

short now @70.21. Traded AMGN several times during the last years. So I know this stock always comes back. This seems to be the longest up move in the last 3 years, but it won't last forever. Sell short high, cover lower.

Hi Don, so adbe trade is done. Let's move to the next trades. Take a look at UTSI and JCOM, those stocks provide lots of opportunities. Good luck.
