If you held TLGD, that's your loss. We take losses and stand up to them like adults. This is second time you posted on TLGD in a few weeks. You don't want to subscribe, nobody is shackling our subscribers. So please take your tiresome attitude, agenda and whining to another thread or by all means stay its a free forum. Or post a real name telephone, and address instead of disguising yourself with faceless anonymity. If you don't like my posts during the day than stop reading them. As for me I'll continue and go forward as I have been. Stay tuned to this thread and you'll hear about more of our upgrades soon enough ;-) Message 15248782

I would suggest, and gladly welcome you to go back and check Jenna's picks. I don't think you're going to find much, if anything, to back up your insinuations (not too subtle, actually). Those of us who DO subscribe to her service and trading room know that every pick she makes will not succeed. But we're also wise enough, or learn very quickly, that it is up to US, not Jenna, to use prudent money management and capital protection strategies in order to make ourselves successful. Her Watch List does NOT contain "dozens and dozens" of stocks. Each day, there are ten (at most) some of which have been watched for weeks. And from that list, more than "some" trigger each day. I do not care, or need, to calculate her win/lose percentage. I see it in my bottom line each week-it's growing, even in this schizophrenic market. As for not accounting for the losers as diligently as the winners, I defy you to come up with research from ANYONE in this business (stock picking) who does that! Certainly, you're not gonna' hear it from any analysts on CNBC, etc. and you're not gonna' see it in reports from fund managers. It's part of the game. (Don't get me wrong, however; I agree it might be something each "picker" should include in their advertising. I'm sure Arthur Levitt would agree.) But let's not single out Jenna for this shortcoming. As for any attempts to "entice" more subscribers, you haven't a clue. It's obvious you know nothing about Jenna. She just doesn't operate that way. Actually, I seriously doubt whether she even NEEDS to do do this. She could easily trade on her own and make a tidy sum each and every day. What little I and others contribute to her trading room would not put much more than a loaf of bread on the table each week. I've said enough. I'm sure you feel I'm just one of Jenna's toads. And of course I get paid to say all this, right? Well, everyone will believe whatever they started out believing anyway. I just had a few moments this afternoon and thought I'd try to get you to understand. I doubt I did. More's the pity. RK

One "never" holds ...or should rarely "ever" hold shares of any stock into an earnings report , period. (They do have their "anticipatory upswings" though...) Cardinal Rule number one , end of story-----> Next ! (Unless you have the money to hedge , and are very quick in the aftermarket<gg>.) In the case of TLGD after it's haircut , it did have the courtesy to bounce a bit nicely and it did give a very nice "anticipatory" upswing before, as many do : siliconinvestor.com So one following that cardinal rule of "holding nothing into earnings" that you wouldn't bet grandma on...suffered no loses. (you do get the chance to scalp in the dead-cat aftermath.) So Mr Market decided that even after some decent earnings performances , and promising guidance, he had gone as far as he wanted to go, therefore it was time to skim the cream and go short. Mr Market isn't unfair , he is just prudent , especially now ahead of CSCO's earnings. Would you buy JNPR now @ $140 ? siliconinvestor.com CHKP @$170 ? siliconinvestor.com BRCD @ $220/shr (pre-split) siliconinvestor.com Or here's SEPR after reporting: siliconinvestor.com See a pattern developing here maybe? Mr Market giveth , Mr Market Profiteth, and Mr Market taketh away.. (Maybe Lee Kramer can write a piece on "Mr Market", his ego, alter-ego, and the Wizards of Id ) ------>Throw up a specific chart , ask a specific question of fundamentals and technical analysis before~hand , and really put Jenna on the spot. <VBG> ...and we all can learn* something. c/ya **I have rarely seen Jenna recommend that any hold a play into earnings have you? It is not a very good practice to get into... Few plays go unnoticed or are "swept under the table" that I can see , and are always in play ... unless they become complete untouchables as CPTH which has no gone to that realm in the after-life that is death , for the dead ( See movie Betelgeuse = exorcism scene) ;-)
