  • CYS Investments: Solid Fundamentals With 13% Dividend [View article]
    I meant to say revenue per employee is NOT always a perfect metric. Sorry for the typo!

  • 2 Options Strategies For The Cliffs Natural Resources Bull [View article]
    I can't really tell you what would be a good strategy for you because that's something only you can answer. I can provide you with different strategies and tell you the pros and cons but it's up to you to decide how risk averse you are (or aren't). Since you've been going long on the stock, a common strategy is to use simple put options for downside protection should there be a huge sell-off.

    If it were me, I'd just hold on to the stock for a few years. I have no reason to think that when we get out of the economic slump we're in this won't go back up to $100.

  • Short Squeeze Impending For Skullcandy [View article]
    I'm not sure how using an incorrect term (which still gets the point across) makes the analysis any less valid.

    I urge you to read the entire article before commenting. Immediately after the sentence you quoted, I wrote:
    "While there are higher end headphones out there for audiophiles that are more expensive than both Beats and Skullcandy (think Segio, Klipsch, and Shure), they're not marketed towards the general population."

    Analyst reports are great to determine if you want to start researching a company or not but I don't put much weight on their recommendation. I am long plenty of positions that they recommend as a sell. Seems like you understand that though.

    The idea is to get into the strategy just in case this IS the bottom. Think about it this way: if you're in it for the long term, your entry point doesn't matter as much as it would if you're thinking short-term. If you are able to get in now and hold for 5+ years, it won't matter that the price dipped down to $30. You'd be cutting into your profits slightly but that's a risk you'll take either way. What if you choose to wait and this is the bottom? If there's a rally up to $40 and that's when you decide to get in, you'll still be cutting into your profits. In the end it's your prerogative to weigh the pros and cons but I don't see CLF moving much lower, nor do I see a dividend cut.

    I have not tried them on my live account because I am long CLF in that (I mentioned this strategy was only for those who didn't like the idea of going long on the stock, which I still think is the best strategy). I've tried the option strategy in my virtual account with the same broker which works just as a live account.

    Techincals are not very clear at all. The only sell signal I see is that the price is trading below my EMA lines. The RSI shows oversold and the MACD is converging with the signal. I don't consider something a bottom or a top unless all the signals match up and in this case, they don't.

    I'd wait until it cools down a bit now. It seems this article along with the two others that were published after it have led to an artificial rally. Should retrace after some time.

    I agree completely. I don't think the shorts are doing their homework and it may end up haunting them big time.

    I was looking for a long term investment but as long as you made a profit, I'm happy.

    No problem! I can definitely see it hitting $20 really fast but $33 might take a while and a short squeeze alone probably wouldn't take it that far up.

    I haven't done much research on ZAGG so it may not be my place to comment but I think it's actually overvalued just based on their products. I don't think it's something that's going to do well in the long term.

  • Time To Buy Cliffs Natural Resources: An Undervalued Dividend Stock [View article]
    Completely agree. I don't think anyone is predicting a doomsday for the industry, though. I think they're just failing to look past the slow economic growth for long term potential.
