bb is exciting

bb is exciting

im  not talking about the  Z10  here.  I  am simply talking about the  STOCK itself    .This is what BAC  was last  year     in the first quarter, a trader's dream.  Big  volume,  big volatility,    big gains and losses,  intra hour,  intra day,  intra week,  intra  month.

 

Apple   and   Google  by  contrast are boring to  play,  up  ten  dollars,  down ten  dollars,  whoopee   doo.   Both stocks  have lost  some lustre  even  though  GOOG  is   close to 800.  Once it hits  800   Its a good  bet  to short  because then all of the    comparisons will surface about    GOOG hitting  800  being similar to  Apple's  climb to 700.  We  still  dont have  the " really hot money "  pouring in just yet.   This is why   !!!!!! There is a rear view mirror and forward  viewing mirror. WHEN  some solar stocks like  WFR  doubled  to 4 dollars  in 2 months   others  were saying its looking toppy because 6 months earlier   it was at  1.50.  Two    years ago however it was  12.    So  retailers stood aside while its now   gained another  25  % in the last month.   For BB  to really attract the hot money     it has to break  19  dollars  and hold    ...  maybe climb higher  but  hold there for at least 3  days........an eternity   in this   environment.

This then can attract wider  range of price outcomes,  can it hit 30?Will it flop and return  to ten?  We  are range  bound at  12  to 18.  Market makers  want  to  open  this up  for volatile trading     all  year,  just like they did  with   BAC.  This  stock     is widely followed,      has a  huge following in India and Indonesia    and the Middle   East. This all provides  many fascinating trinkets  of info  for the  hot money to trade on.

 

My  prediction is this .    VPO   has always  beleived the market  RARELY  gives you the same look   TWICE. Oh no  , thats   too predictable  for retailers and the  STREET does not want you to make  EASY MONEY. Just  like  BB    price TANKED at the world wide launch it will  do the opposite     at the  US   launch,  it will SOAR.  Those  16 to  22 dollar   puts    in March are DEEP  IN THE  MONEY. The  Calls  are  DEEP IN THE RED.    If on this options expiration day BB   finishes higher look for a 3 dollar break out next week.

Another point is this.  This whole rally  started because AA  Alcoa posted a decent out look  although earnings were exactly in line. however,  AA   is up a paltry 4  %.  Again ,    if people     bought the   April  9  dollar calls whne I  mentioned this or the    July  10 dollar call   you would be up   40   %.  The  April   9 calls were up   intra day as high as  50  %.  This is   second  inning for AA.  BB  is  comnig to bat at the top  of the 3rd  inning.  Folks  we have not seen anything yet.

 

My point is this.  Look  at the rear view mirror   for guidance as to   POTENTIAL  RANGE OF OUTCOMES   but look  to  the FUTURE   because  thats where your  financial  outcome is decided.  I  am   long BB      ,  have been  since 8,    but it does not  show   since the  symbol change.      I   trade a   70   % position and keep a 30 %  core position. I  have not  sold a single  share or option  contract on Alcoa.  I  have traded  ZNGA     for big gains  and    re laoded yesterday on that  name.  I  will  also initiate a  position in Trina Solar today   also.

 

GLTA.
