thanks for asking? sold at 19.92 and shorted from 19.92 down to 19.64. for a bonus but played very little shares only 114 (a partial end of day fill) but, since u asked, i will give u another tid bit. the news for GB came out on tues afternoon. it hit huge. and for some reason there...

hello, if u have seen some of my other threads you might know i am new to trading. this question might be silly for the experienced traders, and i know we are talking about pennies, but when trading stock, if we are using a basic strategy of long an up trend and short a downtrend, and we...

i got 150 shares of BJ @ $27.62 already broke my first rule, did not buy on close and down .20 or $35. if this hits up $3 if misses down $1.25. lets see. already looked at their website. they beat numbers for dec and jan sales. colud be a huge up in this down economy???

waiting for your post. now, i will give you and all of ET some cool info. i'm sure that if u were following it u would have seen this. i woke up at 4:55 Pacific time and could have bought this at 5am for $148.75. i would be up $6 and no risk. of course as i said already i was gonna...

steve, that goes back to many on going discussions of: play what works or play what you know u are a what works guy. ;)

my bad u are right it is in the morning. this is what i expect. look at the chart ESRX this is what i expect to happen. i will not short it before the end of today, cause i dont think i need to and i'm affraid ;) but i will watch it in the morning and see if it trades. if it doesnt...

i play earnings, so i will chime in. the way this stock is behaving it seems to me it can't go up. its the buy on the rumor thought. it would take a huge report for it to go up more, which i just dont think will come. they will probably beat their numbers even on revs and come with a low...

i'm gonna bump this to the top cause i'm interested too. i trade aapl, something slow i traded was K

ann posts earnings before market on march 6th as per etrade. always good to look on their website. usually has good info

coming from a newbie, what is the play to cash in on the bond bubble busting? thanks

i am new, and have stuck to a couple of questions only, but i do want to make one comment on this thread, and see the feedback. the media and my lack of experience "bamboozled" me into going long around NYE. of course i was up 3k in the first two days and now down $30k since (lucky i scaled...

look at the P/E on ann. this is a set-up for a 20% down. the company is losing money, lol. retail is getting crushed. i will definitely play this short. lets see if they get me.

azo big ann all 3 should get crushed. mean like 10% loss on each. especially azo and ann. big lots should report possitive, but the outlook will be down and probably lose 15%. i am not putting any money on it, maybe i will buy 2 put contracts on each, but it has the typical...

interesting idea would love to discuss that with. that does not work for me. some stocks dont trade after hours and u miss the big moves. other stocks do trade after hours but there are huge swings. plus they announce at all different times. very hard to pinpoint. u have any experience...

matt, curious what u are thinking?? any help to develop this would be great. as for earnings, etrade has a comprehensive section in their research section. u see the earnings for the past 12 quarters and projected earnings for 1 2 or 3 years. also i can give u a tip, once u have selected a...

i see now, what you are saying about the buy or sell stop. i had always thought that would work too, but funny thing is it doesnt. (for my limited experience) at least not for me here is why: u will notice the morning fake out. so for instance it will gap up over night $2 in the morning...

now we are getting somewhere, but since i am kinda new (really new that is) i have a couple of questions: first - your intuition is correct: Strenght/Weakness relative to the market the week before the release. Is the stock trending prior to the release and on volume? Whisper numbers...

yes and no. yes in the respect that i make predictions that i dont play, but no in the respect that i have not researched and tested it over time. cash - the reason i started doing this was, i noticed that every day there were stocks hat beat earnings and had major moves. i know everyone must...

cash - u are exactly right. what non-sense. this is a strong stock that has outperformed the market all year. came out with a good report and got crushed. for that matter they should have come out with a bad report. right?? see, this is one stock that does not make sense. it happened to...

steve, thanks that seems like really good advice. and yes i am treading carefully, thanks for the warning. this play has been very successful, so far could just be luck. i will post all the plays: ibm,spwra,wfc,v,csco,efx,k,aoc,mcrs,synt,tra,atac,bwld,genz...
