    AZO earnings on tuesday--casino now open!

    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...

    The whole buy because everybody hates it argument.

    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.

    Earnings Plays

    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...

    Earnings Plays

    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...

    Earnings Plays

    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...

    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...
