1)EWBX: shr results beat estimates, revs jump 2)BOBJY:Business Objects Reports Record Q4 1998 Results 3)CTV:CommScope Announces 83% Rise in Fourth Quarter Results; Operating Earnings of $0.22 Per Share; Revenues of $146 Million; Strong Domestic CATV Growth And Cost Reduction Drives Improvement 4)SHX: Shaw Industries Q4 profit vs. loss 5)MENT: Mentor Graphics Announces Record Fourth Quarter Revenues; Product Revenue Up 38% 6)TKLC: $0.16 street expected $0.19 #6 TKLC had a nice 2 point run yesterday but fizzled noticeably in today's trading session causing me to pull the sell trigger. This is usually but not always a red light to holding through earnings.. #2 bobjy had played out its good earnings report already days and weeks ago, surging over and over again until its was overbought Numb #5 MENT tried hard and succeeded in hanging onto positive territory. In a case like MENT prior knowledge of expected fundamentals should help in your decision to hold. #1 and #3 were classic cases of anticipatory upswing and how it should be played out before a report. For conservative traders they could have sold and locked in profits. For more aggressive traders could chance a hold through earnings. #4 was a stock with no appreciable change before the report. It's a shame they don't give any sign about their pending successful report. I think its because they are underfollowed by traders and analysts. I tried to pick up SHX on 3 occasions but it just did not display strong 'buy' signals.
