    Yep and Cramer the biggest pump jobber that there is had DArden CEO on after reporting a dismal quarter to try to pump the stock. PAthetic. Although I shorted this pig before and made money, this time I may dollar short average whith the "Cramer pop" it's going to get. Pathetic. Reply

    In particular BBBY is a short. Earnings forecast from the next conference call in less than 2 weeks will be either at or below expectations. The stock above $30 is priced to perfection already. Reply

    I forgot to mention a few things. First, short-interest is massive despite the high amount of stock owned by insiders (and also 5%+ institutional holders). Second, the volume on the rally back to resistance has been massive. Finally, by starting your chart in March, you miss out on the fact that this was a 24 dollar stock last September. A 50% retracement gets you to 16. Reply

    I am long BJRI and like the chart - looks like classic cup an handle. Wish I had gotten in at the bottom, but I didn't - bought in on the pullback. It's in my model portfolio at InvestByModel.com as well (Top 20 Model). I love your non-technical analysis description: "the place is a mess". Actually, it isn't, but the environment is pretty tough now. Yet, despite their large CA exposure, they are hanging in there. I have visited a couple of their newly opened restaurants in Texas - wow. Jammed packed, but they run a great operation. My objective near-term is 15 - then you can probably buy it on a pullback. Once the economy stabilizes, this company has the potential to grow at 20+% for many years due to its relatively small footprint at present. Reply

    freshOne, my thoughts exactly. it really sucks when the big money is just sloshing things around out there. retail investors just have to stand aside and watch it all go down because there's nothing they can do about it. sad state of affairs. that's why i focused on the technicals with this post because FCX has ridiculously cheap valuations right now and will be a great company going forward. but, since hedge funds are puking it up right now it has a strong chance of going even lower and getting even cheaper.

    this is a sad story these companies are controlled and are at the mercy of hedge funds and the company's earning or future has nothing to do with share values... there is some thing wrong with the system. Just a crap shoot ... best comapies go down the most and horrible companies go high just becasue they are deemed "in favor" for no good reason. i cant wait until it turns and the shorts get burried...while its most likely a long ass way off and the shorts will proably get rich first..yet still fun for me FCX has wiped me out.

    I agree with your BJRI technical analysis, it's right on. On the fundamental side, BJ is at a larger disadvantage than the national chains since many of it's restaurants are located in parts of California where the recession has hit hardest. Also their PE is out of line considering their SSS are shrinking. A PE of 11 or 12 would be more logical, anything over 20 doesn't make sense for a company contracting. With that in mind, I would forecast that within one year, BJRI will be an $8.00 stock. Reply

    I like your chart setups. I will be following FCX, GS, and SBS to see if they break their support levels. If they do I'm on board for a short-term short play. Reply

    Top 5 Stock Picks for September [view article]
    I followed your tip buying some Auth shares but loosing 60% in one day is too much!!! If I would have bought randomly shares of any other company surely I wouldn't have lost so much.

    Can we wait for a positive reaction or is it better to get out?
    Is possible that Auth will hold down this important customer?

    Chris,

    I thought AUTH was expensive even at its current lows, but man, I never thought it would drop this much in one day. I feel for you, I've had my share of micro-caps dropping more than half in a short-time -this truly sucks.


    Given the drop and the potential risk of losing one of their biggest customers, I am curious to know from you, is this an over reaction or was this drop well justified?

    I appreciate the compliment, as at 43 I don't often get called "young". I also appreciate not only yours but also the many other accusations of insanity, as it helps me to get a feel for the psychological state of the market. Reply
