OUCH!

As if to make up for the success of the first one, my second MOSSTEBOFS test is getting creamed. I already bailed out of the QCOM part and bought in at market for fear of missing a post-earnings run (please god, let the numbers be good, we'll be good too, we promise, please please). But I added SEBL to the test to make up for it. This morning I was toying with the idea of throwing the towel in on the whole experiment, to avoid even further missed opportunities if current trends continue. I posed the question to StockHawk privately, and he suggested I pose it publicly. I would be interested in hearing people's opinions, but reserve the right to hang tough or chicken out as I see fit, keeping domestic harmony and other considerations firmly in mind (purchases are in wife's account).

StockHawk's thoughts are as follows:

Not to assume even for an instant that I have any special insights, but in the interest of trying to learn together through these tests I offer the following opinions:

As I said yesterday, buying a stock right before an earnings release is high risk. In this market high tech companies often make a pre-earnings run. After earnings are announced companies missing, meeting or even not beating expectations enough - or without enough up statements about the future - often sell off. Then there are the JDSU's that run up before earnings and jump up after a positive report.
I think your biggest risk - short term - is missing QCOM. It could jump with a positive report and a possible split announcement. I would buy it now and risk a sell-off. With GMST it is a coin toss, but volume has been relatively low on this last run up, so there is a significant possibility of a correction. I would probably hold off.

As to JDSU its 200 day moving average is about $79. It is more than 100% over that which often signals "the need" for a pullback. It is also 50% above its 50 day, so clearly it is extended. Does not guarantee that the run will not continue unabated, but I think that is unlikely. I would wait.

CSCO has traded below your start price, but not down to your buy price. I would wait on CSCO.

I hope this helps you. As with the last test, I am rooting for you.

Has SEBL been voted a gorilla by the esteemed leaders of this thread yet?
Please do keep on doing your research (if Mrs Leader of the Home allows)....its been fascinating especially to those of us who can barely contain our fingers.
Freeus, who just sold her 200 shares of jdsu by mistake, oh well it is probably about to correct anyway and I'll get them back cheaper, right?????
