Hi steve; Just thought I'd remind you of a little note I posted on the Ask Michael Burke thread back on Dec 4, when CPQ was at about $65 per share:
Of course I don't claim to know anything about TA, but thought I would post some charts of CPQ and what appears to me to be the future of the stock.
That last chart has the look of a stock about to make a violent move in one direction or another.
At the very least, I think CPQ will return to below $60 per share. Message 2883249
Afterwards you castigated me for my lack of technical analysis skills. I guess that every now and then even the incompetent can post a detailed prediction of the future of a stock price trajectory correctly by accident. :) I know, I'll get mine later... Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
The basic underlying problem for CPQ is still there: Institutional sales. Today's chart showed some really big guy dumping shares at $53.50. Institutions don't turn on a dime, and they ain't done yet. So I'm holding those puts over-night again, and probably till next year.
But I'm beginning to get urges to go hunt for values in slaughtered tech stocks. CPQ hasn't been slaughtered yet. A slaughter would be a price in the teens post split. Doesn't seem that far off, at the current rate. Or maybe CPQ will rise tomorrow based on the awful earnings report from MUEI. :)

Wise saying for the day: In a bull market, everyone's a genius.
P.S. Seems like we're making money on puts on the same stock, but I'm figured as a bear, while people think you're a bull. How is that? |
