Boiler Room: The Official Stock Market Discussion

[Ohene]

but brehs i need your help. I'm trying to craft an idea right now and I need examples of companies that have done really poorly / have had disappointing stock performances. Companies like Blackberry. Preferably tech, consumer good, retail and media companies. I dont know enough about Energy or Miners

brehs....anybody know why Verizon has such an astronomical P/E?

Pretty high for a Telecomm company isnt it? especially one with its age

I said trading "stricly" off technicals is a bad idea.

Dont get me wrong, i'll hope in on a technical trade too. But it has to be in stock that has the fundamentals to back it that I believe in.

I'm not against technicals.

For example, if BAC jumps above 15$ on heavy volume and breaks out to a new high, you be best believe i'll hop on that ride as well.
But thats because i believe in the banks fundamentally because I think that higher interest rates are coming. So they will surely benefit from that and make a lot more $$ off their loans.

Also, be careful who you follow as far as these technical traders go. All these guys are experts "AFTER" the fact. Yeah lets see them timestamp all of their trades as they enter and exit. If their so good, lets see these guys open up their books. You might be surprised how "good" they really are.

In addition, do you use a trading software like fidelity or e-trade? I bet you have seen their classic "chart pattern" recognition software. For example, when their trading software recognizes a "head and shoulders" or "double bottom" pattern and signal it for everyone. Those patterns that they recognize and try to predict the future of the stock price are WRONG more than 65% of the time.

Anyway i'm not saying to totally disregard technicals. I pay attention to them as well. I"m just saying....those charts that people post on a site like "stocktwits" are 90% GARBAGE material and gibberish nonsense.

This is what I do. Identify good/growing companies and trade it using technicals. It's worked so far for me.

if you're looking for tech you could look up the worst performers in the nasdaq.

word is Salesforce is going to beat earnings

@Domingo Halliburton what you think of Verizon? It seems undervalued compared to AT&T when adjusted for non-recurring expenses. Lower debt, revenues are fairly equal (VZ only lower by about 5%), Gross/EBITDA marrgin is better

I feel like I'll be getting too many random micro caps but I'll try. Maybe there's a filter/adv search

damn I didn't realize they had all that debt and they're taking on more. do you think they're overpaying for Vodafone? like you were saying earlier whats up with their P/E?
