Stock Picks

Taking $350mm out of a $1.17bln stock is odd enough. I wouldn't doubt if the large funds want the price lower to get better earnings valuations but use this as a way to push it down and buy back lower. This is a 30% hit to equity and that has to mean something.

AAPL still a beast.

Trying to decide when to take some profits. I think the average price target is like $600/share. In the meantime, I am going to hold long-term until it is an obvious sell or the market shows signs of crashing. I am enjoying the run.

I am really excited about the future of this company - Iphone5 and Ipad3 will both be extremely popular. A cheaper Ipad2 may take some market share from Amazon kindle fire. Itv could have some issues - but who knows when that is coming out. In addition to products, the company also has leadership. Did anyone happen to listen to Tim Cooks interview today at the Goldman Sachs Tech Conference? That man is a leader - he took his time answering the labor issues with sensitivity and a firm tone that Apple will fix any issues. He discussed current and future technology with a spark in his voice and an excitement about both products and the stability and future of Apple. I think most shareholders now feel extremely comfortable with the leadership of the company. The biggest question right now is what to do with 100 billion in cash.

Here's the link. Labor talk goes until 10:30 then it shifts to product discussion.

I love how Duck has gone back and deleted all of his posts that make him look stupid. If I did that, I'd have like three posts to my name.

I still have no idea what is going on in this thread. I need to go to lunch with Franklin and Pearl.
 
A pat on my own back about Citi.

I don't think Duck is anybody's idoit. Maybe a fool, but not a idoit.

I'd do that just to see what makes Pearl tick and listen to his wisdom.
 
The current stock price of CCMP has already factored most of the $15 dividend. There is probably close to a 100% chance that the stock will drop close to $15 once the dividend is payed out. The dividend was announced on Dec. 14th when the stock was trading at 40.

Now that I deleted my previous posts from today and yesterday so I don't look foolish to my God Troutbum.....Do you really the stock is going to kick back that whole $15 just in one swoop? I still think if you go in that one day, get on record as being a shareholder, and take any punishment that the next day hands out and just bail early, I think it's a golden trade.

I'll trade it and post a screenshot of the trade statement here for a few hours the night of that next day, good or bad so you guys can laugh if it backfires. The margin of error that you're given with the divy is just too sweet to pass up. I've never seen this situation in my whole time actively trading.

Bluenote, are you still in that or did you bail when they announced the split?

Bailed a little after they announced the split and pretty much broke even on it which was disappointing. 2011 didn't turn out to be the year of the financials after all.

I wish I would have bailed on Aapl this morning. Holy hell. 526 to 496. Lost some pretend money on that one.

Yup. And just wait til they are entrenched in India and China. Apple haters with a lot of pie on their faces right now.
 
What does siri say about Apple's stock continuing its upswing? I'm happy for you guys that have been in Apple's stock, but I had to put up with 3 or 4 family members during the holidays this past year talking to their siri friend all day while we were in a cramped cabin so I hope Apple burns that 100 billion cash on something crappy like buying out Facebook, and subsequently crashes.

This. It's bad enough that Mac and iPhone users are some of the most obnoxious weiner dicks on the planet, but now we have to put up with the share holders too?
 
No need for sour grapes as there is plenty of room on the bus, Fellas, and nothing but glorious times ahead. This thing is just getting started.

GLL was $30 the day you said that. It's 15 now. You would have lost your ***. Anybody want to short gold now? Didn't think so.

Yup. I didn't make or lose money, so another pat.

I'm a Pollyanna too. Dow 20,000 here we come.

Mac, PC, snowboard, ski, coke, pepsi - can't we all just get along.

Looks like the stock has some strong support to not drop too far. Might be a good time to get in Trout - join the dark side.

Bump,


CCMP, Cabot Micro

Stock now reflecting trading without the dividend as I suspected. $35.97.


Where are Duck's previous posts?
 
You risked $200,000 for a $675 pretax return?
Buying for a quick .3% bump wasn't your plan but I'm glad it worked out for you.
Did you make any other trades in it that you're not showing?
