i think ulbi is a classic example of playin' the lines and although sm721 got a bit aggressive into the line with the trade at 10.76 i tend to play into the lines that way too. i like to get to know a stock too. 10 was my target on ulbi, but it could have gone lower... however, given my take on the company so far it's worth 10 a share any day of the week unless something further happens to decrease earnings per share. i'm watchin' xjt too because i think all the bad news is out and they can only improve their earnings by redoing a deal with cal... when they redo a deal the stock will rally off 8 for at least 20% |

aob bounced off the old battle line of 6 a share today. most likely a bit of a squeeze into some real selling interest with good volume. |

According to you I really don't know what "playin...." means. I appreciate
the post which attracted me to ulbi but what lines are you talking about;
pennies, dimes - 1/2 pts ? I didn't wait for 10 but if I waited where would
I be ........

eggactly, and that's a great question about timing !!!!! the answer that should occure to you is that i thought it was going lower than 10... see what i mean? if you ever thought that, you'd be right and i did expect ulbi to go a bit lower than 10 a share. but, if you read my post clearly, i'm saying to you that 10 is "no risk" to get out even and you traded it at 7.5% above the "no risk" line... the lines are picked by the market and function based on the prospect for future earnings. jfo |

if, sprinkled in there, you have a question about dollar cost average method... there are many good sources for you to determine how, when, and where to average your trades in a stock. to me, dollar cost average is an individual choice thing. some people may buy 100 shares of a stock each month on the 15th for years regardless of the current stock price? see what i mean? as a shorter term trader, i don't do that kind of dollar cost average. |

jfo: "see what I mean " NO! You chose 10 as your target, I dded it and felt
10.57 was a good entry point. Now, with 1/2 of my position opted out and the
other 1/2 sitting w/o any exit strategy what's next playin' the lines ??
thanks

you're stuggling with "timing" a trade which people have analized for years. just like the game of chess, you can study each move which has already been made. there's no mystery about chess... every move and counter move you could ever make against any opposing move have already been made for you by the "herd." it's your time to study the moves the herd's made. read the other posts and you'll find what i think about the "lines" for ulbi. but make no mistake... the question you're asking is one that's been asked 1000 times a day for 1000's of years... when, where, how, why should i do something? it's an individual thing that you must decide for yourself, but the herd is usually right [not always] but better than 90%. |

JFO: I feel I'm almost there. Thanks for the patience ( some would like to
wring my neck) anyway, what I just read is the MONEYPAPER's "squeeses more
juice" or dollar cost. In Jan's issue, Bowers mentioned STG (amex) which got
my attention and I bought. @ this moment I have no exit strategy. This
portfolio has garnered profits for me since the late 90's. The exception is
LBIX which I've lost considerably (over $2+)
