CVTX is a great example of Cramer's speculative Friday plays. These things usually last a few days beyond the pump. Today we are up another 4%. I suspect there will be some profit taking on Weds, but it may just get to 13 dollars. People might take profits on Weds-Friday so they can free up cash for another speculative Friday.
If you play this right, then you will have a 5-10% week every week off of Mr. Cramer. I'll repeat my thesis here, loud and clear.
1. The chart and fundamentals have to favor the play.
2. Dont get in during afterhours. Wait until 10:30am on the Monday after the speculative Friday and "buy the dip". Hold until Tuesday or Weds, but get out definately before Thursday.
3. Bollinger Bands seem to work well. Price doesnt live far above the top band (for long).
4. Use common sense and take into account other events like earnings calls (remember Dick's).
5. Take into consideration such metrics as the number of shares in the float, # shares shorted, etc. Can the stock be easily manipulated by a small crowd of buyers? Will the pump set off some short covering?
In regards to the fundamentals of a Cramer pick. I would never long anything that seems "Gonzo" like he once picked some company which involved an energy beam that troops use on the enemy.
CVTX may go higher after Thursday, but why take the risk when we have another speculative Friday each and every week.
