How do you find when a company reports earnings? Know Apple will be in the next week or so, but wasn't sure exactly when.
I was crazy enough to buy some FAS in the 12's today...it's about to hit 15... Will I be crazy enough to hold overnight?
i got in on LVS at 5.76.. (wish I had waited down to 5.50 or even 5.48, but oh well).. it's up to 6.30 or so. Not sure how long to hold either, but I feel like I should hold into the inaug..
Also if you look at the chart it bounced off 3 bucks last with strong volume. Similar pattern is shaping up. I want the see the earnings call yields.
Options may be a better way to gamble on these things, but I don't know what spreads/pricing are like on C options.
A $3 put option for February was trading at $0.30 earlier today. It would be worth $3 if Citi went to 0 by the third Friday of February. But that said, it seems with the gov't putting in place the Bank of America guarantees, it might be the favored method for the government over nationalization. I debated getting in, but I might wait and see if Citi goes back up to $5 or $6 and then take a flier on the put option for $0.10 or something.
Go to Yahoo or Google's finance section and look under their "Events" or "Calendar". You may be able to do research on your broker's site as well. Apple is January 21. http://finance.google.com/finance?q=aapl (along the right side of the page, under "Events")
Once again, market shows an up tick when the Dow falls below 8,000. It's starting to look like a real floor. FWIW, the Dow would have to fall below 2,000 before it would resemble the 29 crash. Cheer up, campers. We're definitely in a recession, but I have confidence that now is the time to go long on a good amount of solid companies.
yeah add that to my list of growing mistakes (not capitalizing on the full opportunity i saw) lately.
Best investment I made this year was...NOT buying C. Had it on my "buy" screen...about to hit 'submit' and changed my mind. That was a year ago...at about $30.
Seeing the opportunity and actually pulling the trigger aren't exactly the same thing, especially for the more volatile ones. Oil is down again, won't be long before I push some chips in.
And we've fallen below 8,000 recently before, as well, but 8,000 seems to continuously prove itself as the floor of this market, at least, IMO. Do you honestly feel it will go below 7? 6? I don't.
