Yes Reno, I'm short at 10 7/8.
Why are people paying $10 today when they could have bought all they wanted for $5 only a month ago? Either these people have never previously heard about ACCL, or they didn't know about new products in the pipeline. The flurry of press releases ensures that people now know about products. The sharp jump in price ensures that momentum speculators now know about the stock. Who is it that doesn't want to buy today at $10, but will pay $20 next month? Nobody.
These SI threads are excellent contrary indicators. When everyone is bullish, when there are only blue skies ahead, when we're heading to infinity and beyond, then everyone has bought. I'm not trying to time the top, just to get in before the fall. Once the fall starts, then all of the momentum people will bail. They can sell on a downtick but I can't. We may not be at the top, but I don't see much upside.
ACCL is a fine stock, and at $5 was a great buy. That's how you make real money; buy when it's out of favor, buy when many people have not heard about the company, or buy when people have doubts about future sales or products. Buy the rumor, sell the news. The smart money that bought at $5 is selling now. Do you recommend that SI readers should buy at $10? To whom will they sell the shares? |

Before ACCL dropped to $5, people were more than happy (as I was) to pay more than $10, given the excellent growth report and future prospects. Then we had the warning, and the lower earnings report. The way I look at it, the bad news is behind us and the good news has begun. Is the good news over? Hardly! Once the numbers start coming in from the sales of ACCL's latest generation products, the growth rate will inspire people to buy this company all the way up to $20 and beyond over the next 6 months IMO. I'm long, as you might guess, even though I took some trading profits (from my purchases at $5) yesterday. I don't plan to sell my core position at current levels unless I believe the market is about to collapse (which wouldn't surprise me this September or October). In the meantime, good luck trying to jawbone your way out of a losing short position! <g> |
