Huge earnings reports after the close, GOOG, IBM, INTC & MSFT

So GOOGLE is down $53 a share and the nasdaq is down about 4 points and will probably be positive by the close....

What Im saying is if google was up $53 a share today the nasdaq would have been up about 40 points or so....


google down 53 nasdaq flat hmmmmmmmmmmmm
google up 53 nasdaq up 40 points

You let your trade affect your ability to digest news properly.
You said a 2% rise after hours was overdone, but its up 4.45%
today. In the past, I've seen IBM rise 10% within two days after some earnings releases.

IBM's going to rally for several months. IBM itself says they expect to make $20 a share profit by 2015. I have no doubt given their track record they will hit that number, maybe even a year early.

Nice technical trade you made but you shouldn't hold such trades into major news. Especially with something like IBM which many times more then not beats its conservative estimates, sometimes adding in "share buyback" news as well.

Ok, MSFT has roughly 5.7billion in net income last quarter, vs Apple's of 6.6 billion, yet AAPL is valued almost twice as much as MSFT. Why? Growth.

According to your hypothesis MSFT and AAPL should be valued on the same level...

Soooo

Google Misses

MSFT barely meets target, misses on all revenues except Xbox, windows sales horrible

IBM missing on revenue, beats target by 7 cents


Is it money going from google to MSFT and IBM? I dont feel the later two should be up what they are right now

IBM usually misses on the revenue side. They attribute it to 'the law of large numbers"
 
i dont know.. ibm is outsurcer and this is the only real income for them. compare chart to accenture. no diversification.
when/if 'keep jobs home' etc comes, ibm is a short.
 
Quote from Nine_Ender:

You don't understand the trends in the industry. Its coming back to domestic outsourcing. IBM won't be a decent short until at least 2015; even if it dropped with the overall market it will outperform the market.

More stupidity on display.

So it won't be a short until 2015 BUT if the market should drop it won't drop AS MUCH.

I'm sure you will use this as your fallback when the market goes thru another spin cycle and your perma-bullish idiocy bites you in the ass for the umpteenth time.

(Edit: our resident idiot seems to have deleted his last brain dropping. Not to worry, "Nine-Ender", my post will serve as proof when IBM takes a nosedive).
