This can Western Digital (WDC) posted a great quarter the other day. They also raised their guidence considerably for the next quarter. There financials look good and I'm seriously thinking about purchasing shares. I will go over their annual report this weekend and make a decision next week.

Usually delays have FAR more to do with unfinished product than avoiding the competition. After 2008, publishers have decided to focus on quality since it showed them that only the cream of the crop performed really well. But this will lead everyone to release their games at the same time, so they won't be any better off.
I think ATVI's Achilles heel this fall is Tony Hawk. Notice how it suddenly disappeared. Same with Blur, they sort of announced it, reaction was bad, poof, disappears (even if it's not supposed to be out this year).
Why would you short bank stocks? That makes absolutely no sense.Pimpwerx said:What I predicted, but it doesn't seem to have any impact on the market. I'm butthurt with SKF b/c the bank accounting turned red to black. I'm up on everything else though.PEACE.
When did you purchase SKF?

Damn Canadian dollar keeps on rising, almost back to $1USD, it's killing my returns
I bought TTWO at 8.87US or some such, and now that it's trading a dollar above that I'm in the red.

I was planning to sell RTP at $200 or so, but if it nears $185 or $190 I'm selling. Will have made some good money going from $147 in like two weeks.
Sold my Palm,

Just bought some SPY as it broke through 1,000. I already have a huge core position that I bought at 880 and this tack on trade is just in case we get a surge through 1,000 to 1,025 or 1,050. On the other hand, I'm continuing to sell a lot of stuff, especially tech. I'm also buying some puts.
What we're seeing now is panic. As I said before, we have as many overbought stocks as we had oversold stocks during March. Just as people were panicking to sell in March, people are now freaking out that the market is going to leave them behind. Portfolio managers are saying "fuck it" and putting cash to work. It's a sickening feeling to have your portfolio in cash and T-Bills while watching the market tenaciously get away from you every single day.
We saw a huge surge after the March bottom as the number of oversold stocks naturally corrected themselves. We could see a sudden correction now, too. I have my puts in case that happens!

Here's some more fodder for the Goldman conspiracy theorists out there:
Goldman Traders Post Record Number Of $100 Million Days
TWO days of losses? WTF? That's incredible.

AHR up ~40% right now. I'm not sure why I held on to this lemon for so long, but now it's so devalued there's no point in selling :lol
LPX has been nice recently.
Since most of my money is already invested, I'm not going to be buying much of anything for quite a while I figure. Been slow for me because of that, mostly just sitting and waiting.

Aaaaaaaaaand it dropped in AH, but at least it's still up for the day.
And, noooooooooooooooooooo:
Activision cuts revenue view
At least it wasn't too affected by the news. But Singularity is NOT a "hotly anticipated title" at all, in fact it tank 100% certain unless it gets 10/10 reviews, totally unmarktable (sci-fi AND psychic powers AND space-distortion or some such? Ridiculous). As for SCII, not surprised. I'm still afraid of Tony Hawk's plastic board, I wonder how bad this will be on ATVI's profits.
TTWO made back its loss in AH today. But damn US dollar keeps falling
Also: Will China's Accounting Cause a U.S. Stock Correction?

ATVI finished up 10% Drove up TTWO (but lost its gains in AH) and THQ as well. Now if only the US dollar could get stronger. I want to sell. But I guess that will have to wait.
EDIT: NVDA up 9% in AH after beating expectations.

This is a chart from Credit Suisse. Their work shows the market at "euphoric" levels which is the same conclusion as my own work (as I said before, there is an equal amount of panic here on the buy side as there was on the sell side in March). I continue to sell the stocks that are up 15-20% since we bounced off 880. I still have lots of puts (sold my TJX puts today). I will probably add some more puts tomorrow - even if the market is down.
