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.

CLF Indeud!
I just bought one share of each just to be safe.
no 100 dollar roll but I think MOTR looks like its setting up on it’s technicals to test 15
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 like a little VNO with a side of fontinella and a good loaf.
TNA bitches.
all we need!
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?
you guys aren’t trying to copy Cramer, are you?
buylo, yes, I am copying Cramer. I dress like him and eat alot of cereal. I liked him best when he was hanging out with the soup nazi guy.
Jim C did do that 100 to 120 thesis on his show about 2 years or so…..
No, he did 80-120 5 years ago
I read this in a book, I think “Reminiscences of a stock operator”
Fly, Actually, 2007…but his 80-120 rule, was that if a stock is at 80 it will go to 100 in a bull market, and once breaking 100 it will go to 120. http://www.cnbc.com/id/19683453/ …so part of this thesis is a focus of the stock breaking 100 running to 120.
btw..lol…I am so sad, it’s a little after midnight on a Saturday night and I am going back looking at old Mad Money clips…lol…darn you fly…
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 like SLB and DVN–though can’t remember if dvn was on the 100 roll screen.
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.

I think I should change my middle name to “sells too soon”. I was out in the at 0.91 (though in at 0.6).
the story of my life bro
I like your octopoidal avatar!
Soon you will awake from this dream, and find your true self to be an octopus rousing from slumber, all of us figments of your dozing imagination.
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…
FOSL:
Good product line
Expanding store count
Massive growth in on-line sales
Home base in business friendly Texas
DXY move wil help
Earnings 2nd week in may
That’s my pick and I did buy for all .
Thx for a good list
Like this one too – also EL and DE
RGLD.
No shit.
________
A wise man once told me, “RGLD is always a buy under $50”.
Raule, Slice your loaf lengthwise and put in your cheese and WNR. The consistencies of the cheese and your WNR complement each other
LUFK for the roll Alex.
It’s Friday, let’s rock!

Randgold (GOLD).
It’s at $86, but it’s $100 tomorrow.

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!!!
is there a way to go long chicken?
Didn’t you do that already with LEXG … Get out by the hair on your chinny-chin-chin?
PPC or TSN but they must have lost a few in the twisters … PPC cheap on bad earnings today
lexg,,,in at 3.8 out at 5.15,,,watched it run to 10,,,,i shoulda stayed but, was too risky,,
just looked at lexg,,was a pump in dump, 3.71,, i wasnt watchin it fri,,,,i was only in the trade for 20 min,,,
That PPT ad about the city clerk being able to buy his first election is the best one yet.
“Pick the Next $100 Roll”
Easy…SLV!
DE

Insider selling posted today – explains the selling….this past week!
ahh, now it makes sense!
Fight of the Century: Keynes vs. Hayek Round Two
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTQnarzmTOc
It’s a rap video that tells you more about these 2 competing theories of economics than any lecture you’ll ever go to.
Round One is good too

ROFL Frog…I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE these Vids….but I know how the Fight ends, A young Volcker comes in and slaps them both upside the head….
I assume we should bomb these royal fuckers with great impunity, fly?
$100 Roll: SAM
$100 Roll Pick #2: CMP
would not be surprised if VLO bought WNR down the road….
chk, clne,lng,,,,these are my top picks,,,as of today,,,,it just my opinion,,,dont buy these,,,not 2 100 but ,,,
CLH!
CLH was already at 105 recently.
Just rode LO from 100 to 105 as well as SOHU and VFC and am kicking myself for missing out on UNP and BXP. TZOO is one to keep an eye on when it settles down a bit
