>>"The quarterly Pre-Earnings Sucker Rally Opportunity is just too good to pass up. We may get back into the $7's-low $8's as the Suckers buy in thinking it can't get any worse."<< >>>I guess you must be a sucker?<<< Well, yes, I guess. However the Sucker-factor starts increasing rapidly the closer we get to Earnings Date. I think this can be expressed best by a typical exponential graph: Official IOM Sucker Graph copyright 1999 Rocky Reid x + $7 or above (Full-Blown Monster Sucker) x + x + x + x + $6 (Moderate Sucker) + x + x + ------------------------+ $5 (Smart Sucker) Now Earnings Date As you can see, the exact degree of Suckicity depends greatly on the timeframe involved. The closer to Earnings, the more Sucker-Factor weighs in the equation. After all, IOM is destined to collapse yet again after this short term blip up.
