Earnings Lotto

Most of you know I tend to avoid holding stocks during earnings. However, when I do, more often than not, I find myself counting lots of big ugly faces, shortly thereafter.

Top earnings pick, into next week: BZ

Boise is a paper and packaging company. Once you start to learn about the market and how cycles work, you will realize that paper companies are early cycle plays. As end user demand upticks, paper companies tend to ramp up fast. It is my belief, we are still in the early phases of US expansion. As such, expect paper companies, like BZ or MERC, to handle earnings expectations easily.

Considering the strength of the market, I find no reason to sit on the sidelines. I mean, what’s the worst case scenario: you make a trade and it goes wrong? What the fuck, you never lost money before?

    This is an interesting observation, considering that most of that "expansion" has been led by U.S. exports to Asia, where they are now tightening interest rates like clockwork. Personally, I think we're getting pretty close to the "end game."

        Though about half of the people who read it would probably assume that the car is owned by an antihumanist lesbian. Or something.

    Well, it worked out well so far to hold SPWRA into earnings. However, this is the first time I think I have ever held a stock into earnings and had it turn out well. There’s a first time for everything.

    Fly,

    Following up on yesterday’s post about Muddy Water’s garbage on CCME, Citron just piled on this morning with their own BS-

    interesting that Citron puts out CCME article and the stock is up. Maybe negative news priced in and time to buy? pretty bullish technical signal

    Fly, you post about BZ before the open and it opens up 3%! Is this the Fly effect at work?

    I’ve been buying shares of Fibrek since last fall. Basis is below $1.00. It continues to rip tits to the upside – in a purely biblical sense.
