The stock is moving down more today in anticipation of bad earnings . The biggest blocks are mostly down-ticks. I will be watching tomorrow to see if their will be some dumping by institutions. This might create an opportunity IMO. TEVA is down double digits today and I suspect ACET could be to, on a negative release.

It could be that some are expecting a "kitchen sink" type of quarter with the recent change in upper management? Might be too early for that but it does appear that a significant "run for the hills" action has occurred over the past couple of weeks!

I could be wrong. However I'm figuring even if the company can earn a buck next year. FWIW-If my worst case guesstimate is right? A PE 8 or 9 times forward earnings with a 2%+ covered dividend isn't to bad for myself moving forward. Especially in current market conditions. Some story stocks like IMPINJ and Tesla are taking some hits today. IMO if and when the market does correct. Low PE stocks will take a hit, but not as hard as story stocks and ones that have unrealized gains. RE-High PE's & momentum run ups.

FWIW- I was ready early this morning and picked some up at 8.28. Earnings weren't as bad as I expected. I knew some would dump early. Maybe the bots. <g>

Great trade and even better timing, IMO! Very well done. Too much on my plate the last few days, wasn't ready to nibble, let alone take a big bite.
