BUYING THE NEXT DIP

Going back over the last few years, most of the tradeable lows in the market have taken about three days to set-up. After a washout move, there is normally a weak bounce to follow, then the test or breach of the washout low.

My preferred scenario here is that we’re red tomorrow, with all the indicies testing or breaching lows with the exception of the Russell.

I think that move might last 2-3 days…but from there it is imperative to see where the $VIX and ATR’s are at. If they remain elevated, it would be wise to balance things out with a couple of strategic shorts.

For the day, I am only watching. Tomorrow, I like $SPLK, $PANW, $GPRO and either an $AMZN or $GOOGL depending on where they land.

    Why has no company chosen DIP as a ticker? What the fuck is wrong with these people?

    Holy shit I haven’t looked at PANW lately. $175? What a home run. That sucker is trading at 16.3x CY revenues. Man those stocks all look pretty expensive. Obviously from a trading perspective anything can happen, but seems like from a fundamental perspective that they should all trade lower eventually.

    Just curious if anyone follows the fundamentals of the group: what’s the thinking on PANW vs the other cyber security stocks in terms of which ones will be the winners longer term?

      Cyber is hot right now with the OPM breach. PANW has good products AND good engineers which will keep them relevent going forward. PANW is also an American company (CYBR is Israeli). Cybersecurity used to be niche, but now that everybody needs it, company boards are looking for market leaders vice good values because they want to avoid getting fired, so market leaders get more attention (I work in the field)

        Yeah I wonder if competition won’t ultimately drive margins down and make all of these valuations seem ridiculous in hindsight. When I see all of these companies trading 13 to 17x price to sales it makes me wonder about this. Typically when there is one clear cut leader in a sector then the leader gets that kind of valuation. I have noticed that margins for FEYE / DATA have been going down.

          Competition will drive down margins, but there is soooo much that isn’t being done in cybersecurity, that the overall revenues are going to be higher. FEYE is uniquely positioned in that it offers both equipment and services – this is where the money is because people are starting to understand that it doesn’t matter what equipemnt you have if it isn’t integrated with your processes and operations.. When we look at companies, some of the things we find are just mind boggling.
