5/11/11 Don't Worry, Be Happy

This sell-off is the best ----ing thing that could possibly happen. I was concerned about the sentiment indicators (too positive). This works off a lot of that.

If you're long, sit back and smile. Once we clear the turbulence, we're headed much higher.

(Unless you're long SLV/SLW. Then I would recommend just getting the hell out.)

  1. 2nd - your attempt to turn the market around via a new post isn't working.

  2. TOF- Wanted to free up some capital for WFR. Been "buying in low 11.20's today. I really like it as something I can hold onto and sleep at night. "

    That's how I feel about MITK Jesse...check out today's presentation:

  4. JB- You have any SPY pivots in this area?

  5. TOF - I got back into MITK this morning, @ $6.02. This time I am not selling. Looking forward to them being listed on Nasdaq.

  6. All I can say is there's a little more cash in my account now than there was last night, and I still own the same number of shares. ;)

    Sure, overall down, but what goes up also goes down if you're unwilling to take gains, right?

  7. illini- What's the problem? You KNEW we had to back-and-fill. It's happening. Or, as we used to say in the sixties, it's HAPpenin' bro...

  9. Quite a few networkers have nice weekly setups heading into CSCO earnings. AFOP is one.

  10. illini - Nice...did you get a chance to listen to their investor presentation today? i posted a link up above. major revenue growth is still about 2-3 quarters away because it takes 6 months between when a bank is signed on and when they see steady revenues...they just signed on like 25 banks in last quarter so revs will be lumpy for another couple of quarters.

    i think within 9 months MITK will be at $20...

  11. CSCO bidding 18.26 right now. Let's see if it sticks.

  12. A funny comment on stocktwits:
    "CSCO headline of 2011 ...'Wow, Cisco still has that Hitler looking guy running them into oblivion? and has earnings today?"

  13. Been listening to about 4 hours of WFR conference calls today:(

    Let's celebrate not buying those CSCO calls by putting some of the savings into cases of Natty Light.

  14. CSCO what happened? I thought they beat the earnings for a second and then I guess Chambers presented the bad news

  15. Igor -- traders are simply following a well-established tradition of selling CSCO after hours during the earnings announcement. :)

  16. Igor- I'm not worried about CSCO. Normally I would have sold immediately into the AH spike, but not this time. It would not surprise me in the least to see it back above 18 tomorrow.

  17. 2nd > I doubt it man...its part of the old vanguard.

  18. I've lost track. Isn't the end of the world this month? Just want to make sure I'm wearing clean underwear.

  19. Come on, you know you want to hit my GMO AH bid...Why wait? You know you can't hold it overnight. Just get it over with...

  20. Just looking at the news from CSCO that crosses my screen...

    Warning weakness next quarter
    Laying off more employees
    Doesn't know when switching business will return to growth
    Will cut 1B in costs from FY12 run rate.

    That's what stood out to me. Who knows.

  21. No Mark, E of W as we know it occurs after all the Greenland ice melts and the oceans rise 5 feet. You and your underwear have plenty of time.

  22. Thanks Illini- I was worried about messing with the rotation.

    Off to soccer practice. Ciao...

  23. Too funny Mark, the one and only time you're concerned with the cleanliness of your underwear occurs right before you're most likely to soil them. ;)

  24. Enough of this trash talk. Lets talk about treasure stocks like CSCO that are presently being trashed.

  25. RBY - Sure seems awfully strong since the gap up was closed, I may have to rejoin the club if it happens to pull back much more.
