glad the 20k thing is behind us...bring on adversity!

Who was the CNBC crowd @ 10k? I remember Mark Haynes..Ron Insana...Maria ???

 

[Vuflanovsky]

I believe Ron Insana, Bill Griffith, and Sue Herrera all go back to the FNN ( Financial News Network ) days of the crash of '87 before they merged into CNBC and have been there ever since. Griffith and Herrera went to college together at Cal State Northridge. I just remember watching all of them and crying in October of '87.

maria bartoromo?

 

[dblshock]

quick google..... March 29, 1999

 

[Vuflanovsky]

Joe Kernen also made the transition to CNBC from FNN in the '91 merger so there's one more that was there before and after Dow 10,000.

I know the DJ30 is dynamic but the 5000 mark was November 1995 ...giving creed to the old cliche money dbls every 7 years.

5000 pts in 8yrs. of Clinton.

I gotta couple good looking set-ups.

1)SDRL..Seadrill

2)TGT....Target

3)CMC...Commercial Metals

 

[dblshock]

SDRL leases ocean oil rig platforms, shale put pressue on prices and SDRL became unglued all the way down to here, the other bugaboo is debt, shorts bet they wouldn't make it.. could be a squeeze if their still in numbers and this one pull it out. I used to own this back in the day they paid a heavy dividend...like to see them back again.

 

[Mr Nice]

Lots of companies got killed when oil prices tanked, LINE was another company that had too much debt.

Any thoughts on Apple's earnings next Tuesday? Dividend increase in May?

Living in MN, I wouldn't touch TGT with a 10 foot pole. The Canada fiasco, their Grocery business isn't doing well, and well, the bathroom issue...

 

[dblshock]

[dblshock]

Why do you short stocks in rip roaring uptrends???

Just wondering; you can find stocks in defined downtrends, ie under their moving averages, and wait for good entry setups.

Like that AVXS. It has found support at 100 day moving average all year and exploded higher. You shorted it at the 100 day moving average and........it exploded higher.

Not raining on your parade, just wondering what your method is???

Now what? Is BMY dead?

 

[dblshock]

trying to catch a top I guess, anyway, I open a position then follow-up if needed..you may have missed my recent ITIC short 24pts. in a week and out...but most are more of a struggle til unfavorable news hits.
