Pick the Next $100 Roll

One of my favorite nonsensical trades is the $100 roll. I’ve executed this trade countless times, with overwhelming success. Basically, I buy a stock just prior to it breaking the $100 barrier, in an attempt to capture a quick 5-6 point move. More often than not, as is the case with OXY today, the move can be much greater. In the era of the clam, investors clamour [sic] for high priced earnings per share monsters, like OXY or EMN.

At any rate, I am leaning towards buying both CLH and PH for my next roll plays. Which ones do you like (not that I care or anything)? I am simply making small talk. You should consider yourself exceedingly lucky.

    I’m not sure if it will be the very next, but Deere has to go over soon. The ag plays feel kinda like the refiners here.

    I’d rather do the $100 roll with a crazy hooker. When is WNR going above 10? I need a Cee note.

    I own DE at $86. CMI and CAT blew out earnings and you can add in the Ag trade. Earnings 5/18 so there is time for it to run up. 19 TTM P/E. High earnings growth. Reasonable price. It has struggled to break thru $100 for some time. I have traded VMW several times but you are exposed to hi P/E crash. I plan to own ALXN at some point probably during a sell off if the market gives it to me. You see, I am a patient old man, but here in Angola all we have is hard time and a cold bowl of diluted ravioli and stale saltines. CLH and PH could be good, haven’t researched them yet.

    Curious as to yr opinion on why $100 roll works? What is the sell strategy after $100?

      Cramer? Mr. Fly is riffing off of The Boy Plunger playing. The jam is good. Le Fly has a great sense of rhythm too.

      What happened to pick #2?

      I wish SLB would get off its ass and finally break through the previous $95 level of resistance. Since end of February SLB has traded like hammered dog shit. Still the best in class for an industry that’s going to rip tits through 2012 so this $100 is going to happen at some point.

        True true…. all very true PP…. But it seems like it has to do its roll sooner rather than later.

    ADS…have done consulting there. Their success is leveraged to the marketing budgets of any company with a large subscriber base…they run loyalty programs, do email nurturing of the customers…provide bpo services. Also, were a takeover candidate by blackstone before funding dried up…

    Raule, Slice your loaf lengthwise and put in your cheese and WNR. The consistencies of the cheese and your WNR complement each other

    Decent pix Imam LeFly. For mio/moi money, with the $ 100 roll (bueno concept), I’d go with DE. Tractors have tres grande pull if you’re looking for such action. CAVEAT: Buy this, and another force majeur could wipe out the world’s ag. causing instant DE insolvancy. Mention my name or Mars name at the Norway storage center and we may be considerate. TGIF!!!
