HBOC.. I'm watching this as well.. Sell off ridiculous. Brings to mind WFMI and SFSK.. If it weren't for a weekend coming up I'd be in it already.

FAQ's: HDI.. BUD..Earnings Plays "investing as opposed to trading" Safer trades than hi-growth techs. . BUD I've had longer than any stock since September rallies began. I usually hold these for 3-6 months at a time because if you just depend on daytrading, you will never get the really big bucks.. I usually hold 2-400 shares not more. That is how I got into earnings plays in the first place. I was looking for a balance between trading and investing.. So I would end up 'investing' in the stocks that beat estimates and saw the this strategy worked well. OF course I also invest in other stocks that don't always beat estimates but these are your 'conventional' GM, GE, PG etc. It's worked for 2 years, only got stuck when I was very naive last October 28 and decided to hold options for earnings plays for 'maximum profit and leverage'.. that backfired badly. Needless to say the options I lost came from stocks that have come back awesomely in 13 months. If that doesn't teach a good lesson about options nothing will. HDI.. technicals look very good to me. stock is not even overbought. Upgrade came for me at the right time, it's been under accumulation for so long I thought I would have to sell. BUD. I was waiting for BUD to break 59 1/2 which is resistance. It did that today but fell back. It if breaks through 60 on strong volume the trend will be very strong. I don't really have a target, this is one I would hold for years.
