Last week's hits and misses..
Holding Rationale for MSFT.
ISRG :
I posted about ISRG the day before it published the results and was contemplating shorting it. It tanked like a rock in water the day after and the ticker reads 288.50, down -17.22%.. and guess what, I didn't even make a penny out of it. I didn't take the trade. ![]()
My rationale was to wait for the results and then take a call. Was that a mistake? In hindsight it might look like it but I will still believe that was a good decision on my part. I will still watch this one for a bounce and for another shorting opportunity. I highly doubt that will come though.. there is pain left on this one.
AMZN:
Well, I did short this one and boy this one went against me from virtually day one. I kept holding on to it but was not comfortable at all. GOOG results gave the final blow and I had to get out@78.65 a $1.25 more than my stop loss. Not good. I had a feeling I was going to get stopped out but I did kind of held on to it. The entry was an ok decision but the exit was not. Something to think about and not to repeat..
Others:
-SBUX is doing well. I am up 5% here and I still believe this can go on for more..
-Just a thought on GOOG. Should I have held on to my GOOG bought at 445 or so??? Well hindsight is a 20-20 vision isn't it??
-I entered MSFT at 30.00, This is a play on the results as most of the Tech guys are reporting good numbers. I expect MSFT to go up in expectations of good results. I will take a call before the result to see either exit of hold on.
