Geeze, ya take a long weekend and the portfolio goes to hell.
When your stocks are off 20% in the last month, and your number one pick is off 36% from where ya got in, I guess all you can do is laugh and say that you're now a "long term investor" or chuck it all and find a new number one pick.
-OR- ...anybody got enuf guts to double down at this levels? I doubt it (I know I wont) ...by now you would have thought they could have orchestrated a move in the stock. Not that earnings and the outcome of the arbitration were any help at all.
I see that a block of 10,000 turned over late in the day today and the thing ticked up a notch, otherwise not a lot of volume these past couple trading days despite the news. I guess that is good, nobody is dumping their shares indescriminantely.
Still, with each passing day looks more and more like we have all found a real dog--a dog that just doesn't want to get up and play.
It's like they thought to themselves--yeah, we know how to do the web, we have some ecommerce tools, we know this is the hot thing for companies these days...but...screw it, lets just chuck it all, change path completely, and run this company into the ground.
Now does anybody want to double down? Or does a person stick to his rules and get stopped out? I would suggest that there is the possibility that everything has been orchestrated to run the stock down...at which point some smart money could come in, just before some more decisive movement by the company. And if the company pulls in 9M in the fourth quarter in the US like they said they might (probably half of that just from the flight sim add-ons which didn't show up in the stores til after this past quarter ended) then you would look like a real idiot for taking a loss now.
So what's it gonna be, buy...sell...or hold. I think I'll just make it easy on myself and shut the PC off again. |
