Lee, (I composed this reply to your #733, but before #735 was posted. note that jim reveals himself as a day trader when he had in the past, seemed to be only a long term investor. In this context, his posts,even if manipulative, are logical.)
Jim does, on occasion, contribute info updates that should be appreciated. Perhaps his comments on momentum are best viewed as a lagging indicator. When he cheers upward movment its usually about done. And when he despairs over downward movment, the worst is usually over! If you trade with a long term strategy this can be annoying. A day trader, might favor panick induced flux. Long term always seems to be the high road, and, day traders seem to be reckless. But each of us takes their own path, and chooses WHEN to act. Perhaps this guy is really a day trader or the agent of one? Maybe the best thing you can do is to "cross post" elsewhere and otherwise spread the word as to the wisdom of a longer term perspective to attract more long term investors to this stock. I think it does have good 1 to 3 quarter ( and beyond)potential. Short term it may dip with a negative earnings or preannouncment warning. It would be useful to size up the amount of institutional ownership if anyone can get reliable (verifiable) info on this. Knowing the # of investors and the average holdings might give clues concerning probability of panick behaviors. |
