<<would you buy two shares atml, for every one share elon? >>
I would in a heartbeat. Can't speak for others, of course. Their numbers and report looked very good to me.....I grabbed some stock and wouldlike a few calls but will wait and see if it dips. I know a few big boys came out with some pretty nice price targets today, so I guess we'll just sit tight and see what happens.
You are absolutely correct about the markets.....my biggest thing right now is over the last few months, I have pretty much stood pat. I didnt sell into the rallys and buy back lower. Very tough year because of that. Now, we have a nice rally going on and I am having a hard time figuring if I should sell into it, or just stand pat and hope the worst is over and we go up from here. Certain stocks like jdsu, rmbs, qcom, sunw, extr, intc, aol....I just cant figure out what to do with. Quality, without a doubt. But, as you say...in an inefficient market, one never knows. I mean sheeez....extr blows out the numbers and they go down $30. Tex. Instr. stinks up the joint with it's report and it goes up 20%........
I also keep hearing RR in my head referring to calls....saying "take those little profits and run"....Right now, I have "little profits" in my jan 60 qcom calls, jdsu march 100's, extr march 100's and I can't figure out whether to take my "little" profits and run, or wait it out. The qcom 60's are january, but considering they are 60's, they may have some upward movement if qcom moves in nov/dec. The jdsu and extr are both march and both 100's. With both stocks hovering at $100, I can see these calls really running, IF jdsu and extr rally hard the next few months. My intc calls are about even, so I will wait and see if intc has any legs to get back up another $10 - $20...and my aol's are 2003 $40 leaps so no worry there. Have a couple of aol jan 60's, but not enough to worry about. It's mainly the qcom jan, and jdsu and extr march's I am flipping back and forth on. Do I sell them now into strength and buy back next week when nax tanks 350 points, or do I sit tight.......Not really asking, just kind of talking out loud here...but would love to know what others are doing with similar calls. I know alot of porchers have Jan qcom's and march extr's and jdsu's, as well as intc's....
Happy trading to all
