cash. mind you, this is only from 3 month experience, but rev is the least important. rev can go up and eps can go down, just by having lower margins, which u would see in a recession. and like kass said they can have lower revs but cut costs and raise eps. eps is profit and loss and rev is...

cash, here is a simple after the fact explanation, from my 3 months playing earnings. u are looking for a triple play: beat on: EPS REV OUTLOOK ok, this is an after the fact analysis of mens wearhouse. the eps was expected to come in at (.16) it came in at (.06) so they beat on eps 1...

so trading man, can u explain this fake-out what a crappy trade. i sold at the low of the day. lol lost $4 this was a $600 trade i could have got out of last night WOWWWWWWWWWWW

hit on LHCG already up $2. did not sell yet. thinking of picking up 300 more shares at $20.50 dont know if i'm gonna pull the trigger. easily can go to $23 tomorrow 30%

hit. i am new, so i played it wrong. should eb huge gain. like $5k - 10k but instead played to little the wrong way. had 20 contracts bought mar 4 for 35 sold for 40 early - stupid bought april 4 for 73 and sold april 6 for 35 saw it was going up big. dumped the shorts for $100...

lol, good luck with that. a bit late, i would sell by thurs, just a suggestion. but hey i hope we ride it up to 10!!!

ok, i see how you all rip people for predictions, but i called this one. i am up .89 on the FAS which is 37% i bought 10 - 4 april calls for $730 and could sell today for $300 that is close to 40% profit. holding one more day. lets see if i get burned. will put a stop on it at .95...

cmtl, when did u play that??? i hit on KR and RSCR

i know i'm new here, but financials could explode. just keeping u updated. read my other thread http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=156623&perpage=6&pagenumber=1 enjoy

lol, dramatic, maybe, but at one point it was at $2.96. also up in after hours. also wfc and bac up 17% and 19% respectively. with the market down 1% and close to 2% on tech. cmon, that is huge. and all because of this meeting. they know they have to suspend it, i missed all the other...

glad to be of service. i actually bought the fas options. spent $650 and have $20K upside if it goes to $12.50 in the next week, which it could if this goes through. it is triple levered. now i am not recommending anyone to do this , but if this is really going down, it could be big...

i agree with jack, but arnie is right too. but more imprortant what is right or wrong is the fact there is a trading opportunity here. there is definitely a committee meeting thurs and there will be action taken. i suspect it will be suspended. if u suspect the same then u might want to...

that is what this article says: http://seekingalpha.com/article/124908-the-mark-to-market-bank-trade-this-week i think this is the one. get in now before the news comes out. other people are already in the know, that is why the FAS was at break even when the overall market was down...

thanks, that was an easy one. all you have to do is look at the company website, they give a lot of insight to what they are gonna release. but since i will keep it real, i have to say, i did not play it. what a sucker. but i did play: AOB for 200 shares. they will beat revs, my best...

so people with little money love the fact the market is crashing???

sorry, this question might be silly, but what are u trading?

just curious. cause when i have stops they always seem to get taken out and then the stock heads back in the right direction. i guess just bad luck. i have been trading for only 3 months. it happens like 90% of the time when the price retraces. i have been using hidden stops lately.

nice. i will follow your journal, good luck. u almost got stopped out with only 15 cents. was your stop hidden, just curious?

thanks, that make sense, the paper profit is gone, but actual $$$ did not trade hands. and in the case of the baseball cards, the guy who paid me the $1000 is the loser and i am the winner. or if he sold it for $1100 he would be the $100 winner and then the owness is passed along. this is...

i was thinking about this and was wondering if you guys had any experience that could lend insight. playing stocks is a zero sum game. but if i buy at 100 and sell at 90 i lose 10. then the next guy has bought at 90 and sells at 80 so he loses 10. but if i short at 100 and cover at 90 i...
