  • Henry: @roddog101 $VRM it loses money and the monthly and weekly charts are bad. Buy $AN they make money.

  • debeers: @Henry $CARS $AN $LAD -have no idea to what crowd you refer but when the price slips below the 21 day and fails to retake the 8 after a few days, i don't hold any stock and i brought $LAD to the forum years ago. That is the reason there is no $RH in my port or $LAD either. If they get their mojpo back, they merit a relook but, for example, after the huge pop, i set a higher than normal drop limit on $RH of 661 which i posted and when violated it was dropped. i hope for nothing but the best for Friedman but cannot revisit unless certain parameters met. Same discipline in $LAD once i was convinced that the stock went to prison and simply wasn't tardy to the party.
  • woodman: @debeers $CARS $AN $LAD $RH - Good stuff, @debeers. I gave a low risk attempt at $RH. Fell flat on its face, then rolled down the hill. But I had a stop right where I figured I'd be wrong, and it was tight, so negligible damage done. I figured when I decided to take a chance, the chance of success was low, but so was the risk. But, whenever a chart isn't working, it's not sensible to fight it.
  • Henry: @woodman $CARS $AN I sold AN as a source of funds and it has been range bound for 3 months. Better chart than crowd favorite $LAD, which is below the 200 ema
  • woodman: @Henry $CARS $AN $LAD - Looking at the two, I agree. I know LAD is a favorite here, as you've noted, but the chart and price action don't justify it taking up space on the lot.
  • Henry: $AN Also hit with a lower pt by MS. Sold mine 1 mo ago to redeploy into other holdings and it immediately went to 360. Now it's 304
  • scottrades: Some #earnings for the week.. $TSLA $NFLX $JNJ $CLF $SNAP $VZ $ASML $T $INTC $HAL $ERIC $NUE $UAL $PG $STT $LRCX $STLD $AAL $SI $ACI $FCX $WGO $ABT $CROX $ISRG $PM $LUV $PHG $AXP $CMG $NEE $KSU $MAN $ALLY $BX $NDAQ $VLO $LVS $BK $SYF $SAM $IBM $ANTM $DHR $AN
  • debeers: $AN/$ARCB/$BOOT/$DDS/$FTNT/$INMD/$MTDR/$SF-LONGS ALL- pretty much spotless also in earnings for the last 8 quarters also so no stressing about being in or out for earnings. Exposures: Auto, tranny, discretionary denim, discretionary high end,least risky outstanding return tech , vanity medical, Oil exploration and pipe w/ a free ride for variances, Under the radar excellent financial. After picking out a crap company and buying wrong, the absolute dumbest thing you could possibly do is have all of your eggs in one basket IMO. EACH OF THESE HAS A RECORD OF SUPERIOR RETURNS so usually they will go down less in a bad market and go up more in a good market. Short Form: excellent stocks, excellent returns. You should be a happy camper with all of them.
  • Henry: $AN $LAD negative pin action from KMX
  • debeers: $KMX-have no idea about the conclusions that folks are drawing. Heres what i do know: in the last 10 quarters KMX has missed for now the third time.NP $AN in the last 10 quarters hasn't missed once.LONG Bed Bath missed. Does that mean that all retail is screwing up? Could it be that the management didn't see this coming. $M did and stocked up and that is why estimates were raised by CS for them.(NP on either for me). All dealerships aren't the same. Any good operation in any stock distinguishes itself not only in performance but also in managemnt managing expectations.
  • slp20: @debeers $KMX $AN $M Our Bed Bath has had empty shelves for a long time as the new owned brands the CEO touted have not arrived.
  • debeers: $LAD-Maybe a skosh at the close because they have such a great supply of outstanding used pickups and luxe cars. Checking in with the researchedrs as Bof A Global goes to 511. Will be an interesting morning on the 20th as both $LAD and $AN report BMO. Both should be stellar and between now and then, provided that $LAD holds the 50 day, both will be remarkable on earnings. LONG
  • debeers: $AN-New appreciation for setting levels as those who were freaked by a couple of buck drop obviously didn't set the advised stops. It never even broached the 8 day. October 20 before market is their earnings. LONG
  • bRobert: @debeers $AN $160+ target Been a very strong stock since the WEEKLY breakout last year at $50
  • bRobert: $LAD Alert $350 $380 reversal target 1 WEEKLY is the $$ tree $400/$500+ tightening consolidation will lead to a monster breakout move but PATIENCE required It needed a lot of rest to recover after the monster move from $75 - $400. Another one is coming $AN $KMX $PAG $CVNA have been easier $CVNA WEEKLY breakout retest Pb to the 20 WEEK $400/$500 potential still
  • bRobert: $KMX breakout pullback $165 target $AN same $160 target $PAG WEEKLY breakout continuation $130 target Daily is EXTENDED Partials $LAD setting up Move > 50/200d will set it off $360 targt 1 $400/$500+ longer WEEKLY breakout coming
  • Henry: $AN got to within 15 cents of a new high, this am. long
  • debeers: $AN-@Henry was right. The markets decided yesterday, continuing on today that they like Mike. The idea that a successful company CEO would hand over the leadership of what he largely built to someone who wouldn't be well-received is rare and, in Mike's case, his background is proven and flawless and we have at least 2 quarters of chip shortage ahead.LONG
  • bRobert: $TA $DDOG nh's Not many can say that Much higher $SIVB over $600 $660/$950+ $SOXL $58/$80 $AVGO $MRVL $NVDA $TXN others $LAD WEEKLY will soar $400/$500 $AN nh $160 WEKLY M $KMX $160 /$170

  • Motorman: @bRobert $AN $KMX $LAD Holding $LAD. Seems the time to get in $AN $KMX was a couple of days ago, or after the get above resistance.
  • bRobert: @Motorman $AN $KMX $LAD They have very good upside but need a pullback for a low risk entry $LAD is slowly setting up for a monster WEEKLY breakout It will wear you out waiting and then rip your face off ALERTS
  • debeers: $AMAT-@bRobert- i feel a lot better since you said that. Sometimes a company being fundamentally outstanding isn't enough (sigh).we'll get through it.
