OO one I held earnings play powering here. These, Gemmers, are the kinds of stocks we hold for swing trades together with the Swing shorts in the blimps. We held WLP, XTO for gap ups today and would have held SCMR calls, but dropped them at the last moment. I now like LH for upside and earnings positive surprise. Expecting good earnings for LH, this is the second time LH has been an earnings play. The only large cap tech stock I took home was NTAP and up 4 points onlyOakley Income Vaults 75 Percent in Record Fourth Quarter 83 Percent for Full Year FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 14, 2001-- Selected Fourth Quarter Highlights: -- Net sales increase 41 percent to $93.3 million -- New product categories contribute 21 percent to fourth quarter sales -- U.S. net sales increase 38 percent; international net sales grow 44 percent -- Diluted earnings per share jump 75 percent, to a fourth quarter record $0.14 vs. $0.08(i) Oakley Inc.

Good call. That post is an excellent example of how this thread is NOT realtime....it exists solely to entice lurkers and newbies into paying for an expensive service that YOU make money from. Admissions of bad calls are almost NEVER found here; instead, each day is a procession of "triggers" and recaps of the few profitable trades that emerge from dozens and dozens of "calls." If another poster had not raised the topic of JDSU by asking you if you had covered after you said you were "short and not tempted to cover" right before a huge ramp in the stock, I bet we could count on you to admit you covered...right?? Of course.....
