so basically the fundamentals, according to you, are pretty useless!
When to sell?
Just look at the chart. It's trading in a downward rectangle pattern. There could be lots of addition downside. Try catching a falling knife and you are likely to get stabbed. It's this obvious? Fundamentals are unreliable over the short term and unpredictable over the long term.
Yeah do it because you said so! =)
Some specialists tell that home loans help people to live their own way, because they are able to feel free to buy needed goods. Moreover, different banks give college loan for different classes of people.
So does that mean insulin dependent diabetics will not have this problem?

That news was announced after this article was posted.BTW, check out the megaphone top formation in the GRMN chart!
I like how Cessna and Lear both annouced that their latest and greatest aircraft will use Garmin avionics, yet this article makes no mention of that. Research much?

UOPX does not sell fake degrees, they hold regional accreditation from the Higher Learning Commission. Graduation rates are between 30-40% when you look at the entire student population which competes with most institutional graduation rates. President Obama was talking about career colleges and they happen to be for-profit. UOPX gets pulled into these types of discussions because they are the biggest kid in the room and not because they themselves are under scrutiny. Lumping all for-profits in together is akin to lumping all non-profits in together: “Penn State faces a sexual abuse scandal which shocks the non-profit university world. Non-profits, like Brown and CAL, have been under increasing scrutiny in relation to administrative accountability practices.” President Obama never mentioned APOL or UOPX yet you put words in his mouth by stating “President Obama is declaring was on Apollo Group and its friends.” President Obama never said anything of the like if you actually read the president’s speech and not just Bloomberg’s interpretation this would be apparent. Did you know that President Obama’s Cyber-Security Coordinator is a University of Phoenix grad? His UOPX credentials were good enough for Carnegie Mellon and the Obama administration but not the blogosphere. Right. Bloomberg only mentioned UOPX as an illustrative example to try and get some traction in the press and the blogosphere.
You are fooling yourself if you think Garmin is a strong company. How about its decreasing revenues which will lead to less dividends as they run out of cash?
For short positions I look for poor companies, not strong ones. The article does not mention Garmin's zero debt, nice dividend, and agressive stock buyback program. What about its increasing dominance in the aviation sector? Garmin is a very soild company. I don't see them going down past the current market correction.
Thanks for pointing that out, shorting JPM sounds like easy money right now!
JPM going down the toilet, suprised the stock is still trading in the $30's!
awesome stuff
While a covered call is a good conservative strategy, i prefer to use covered calls on stocks that have been sidestepping as a way to take in cash. While HLF's recent plunge from near 52-week high to new 52 week lows within a matter of days has added some volatility premium to the 47.5 June call I feel that there are two scenarios more likely to occur between now and june. In the middle of May David Einhorn will be giving his presentation. The reason of the recent plunge is that Einhorn questioned some of the accounting practices during the conference call. Einhorn has not disclosed his position as of now. If during his presentation he announces that he is short the company the company could easily go lower. However if he doesn't the company could bounce back. I would prefer to do a protective put (long the stock and purchasing a put). If we look at the June Puts we see that the 45 put is selling for $5. If we were to purchase the stock at 46.2 and purchase the 45 put our net purchase will cost us 51.2 per share. Our downside is limited to 45 (-10.16% loss) and our upside is unlimited. If we the stock returns to 70 our profit is 18.8 per share (36.2 % return) and if the stock goes to 30 our loss is 6.2 per share (-10.16%). Comparing that to your covered call @ 70 we would receieve $6 profit (12.99%) and if it goes to 30 our loss is $11.5 per share (-24.89%). Let me know your thoughts

Check out the chart on Alexa.com for Zillow. Traffic is up 20% in the last 3 months. Similiar situation with Trip advisor, which is up 6 points today after their earnings call. I expect similiar results from Zillow.

go for it.ill be your counterparty lol
There is a very clean example of a bull flag on the VIX itself over the last two weeks. The chart in the article is VXX not the VIX itself. What is being suggested is not a black swan by any means, but rather the same type of spike in volatility that we have seen consistantly throughout April.
Does not look like a flag to me. This looks like the typical pattern of VXX apiking then melting down to see in this pattern the anticipation of another spike is dangerous. Buy VXX here at your own risk and pray for the black swan to arrive.
