JNPR.. Short Bait.. Put options, the next one to fall??
JNPR got an upgrade on Friday, what did that upgrade to BUY do? Not a thing. Investors are tired of paying enormous premiums for stocks. Tired of paying for potential at a at a Premium PE Multiple of 502.8 times, vs. the 62.2 X average multiple at which the Networking SubIndustry is priced. C'mon a P/E of 502..???? So it going to grow, okay wait until it gets more beaten and then at a more comfortable multiple get on board and grow with it. Do you really think this stock will go to 250 or 300? How can an analyst upgrade a blimp in these trying times. It was the same analysts have caused a lot of people to lose a lot of money with their upgrades. If you are still dying to get into JNPR get some call options after things settle in November AFTER it falls. If it doesn't fall than go with the trend, by all means, I just wouldn't pay premium for this stock just some daytrading the call/put options.

Profitability NOW of JNPR
ROS (Return on Sales) : (8.8%)
Divisional Margins : (6.4%)
Cash Flow Margins : (2.0%)
ROA (Return on Assets) : (1.8%)
ROE (Return on Equity) : (2.0%)
Profit per Employee : ($26,967)
Earnings Growth : 1,300.0%
so what its going to make $0.17 if its lucky and what if G-d forbid the unrest escalates in the mideast, do you still think that growth on JNPR is assured? You are not just paying for a Harvard education prices, you are paying for about 15 years of 'earnings potential'.. as well. I just think that's a little presumptuous.

JNPR is still a blimp, it might, MIGHT have a dead cat bounce move on Monday, but it looks like it will be short bait at any spike high (or even in the morning if it continues to MOVE DOWN).
