Under The Radar News - Wednesday

Leave it to aapl to reinvent the already invented. A good reason to sell.

You mean that light at the end of the tunnel is really FIVE freight trains?

"supercomputing ability to anyone who can afford a PC", well, on a dead cat bounce, that doesn't seem to likely now does it?

Glasgow is probably on the galapogos entertaining a spirtiual transendence.

9% for PFE & GSK, 10.5% for WAG. Nice. Real nice. Next thing we will see is SWY increase proft margin by 15% to cover increased handling costs for increased wholesale food prices.

That wasn't a panic sell . . .

that was a well thought out play.

OK, now that I am getting old . . . I am going to get back to buying here in the morning.

Oooops, insider buys were about 500K shares at roughly 4.06.

On 462M shares, not exactly what I would call I big deal.

I thought it was more. My mistake.

I would be curious however to see what Laytons deal says. Did he get an upfront promise of big share stake? Don't have time to dig, anyone got that info?

One more thing short,

look at the insider trades and the pricing in January. I think they were at 4.01 and 4.06 respectively.

I will look for the numbers and report.

It will get back to 3.70. Heck, it is at 3.76 right now.

Don't pull out too quick there short seller. Don't do anything rash.

WORST case scenario is that the price is being hammered to prepare for the Feb report which is bad so as shareholders don't see an amazing one day drop.

I am just going to keep a very keen eye on sales and and performance in the next few days. You are right, somethingis going on here, and I am going to stick it out but I do not have as much as you to loose.

Remember, the stock will bounce.

The stock will bounce.

Being rash is why the market takes bad turns, you know that and I know that. Go back and read my last comment on the other article, you now, the one where I talk about etfc and peers. I still believe that.

Think before you act here. Big money comes with some risk and sweat on the brow.

Hey shortie . . . .

Your hypothesis is interesting. I too was just watching this etfc deal as I put a sell at 3.94. I will pick up in two days. I think the price will drop again before we break 4. But here is the deal, every time I saw the price come close to my call, I saw a blocks of 100K+ shares come up. WTF? Right now there is 100K shares on the block. I have never seen that with ETFC. Your right, there is price supression happening here.


In any case, don't worry about my sale, I am coming back in when it drops back down to 3.50-3.70 range. + I am still long on other shares.

I think yeserdays action was interesting in that ETFC didn't hardly even move. I thought for sure that ETFC would have bounced to well above 4 by today. In fact, my sell was for 4.17. The only reason I sold as I think it is going to go down either tomorrow or friday. Jan's readings were read on 2/13 so I expect Febs will be out this week.

I just think there will be another big sell off this week before any big news comes out.

I really think we should have seen a bigger bounce in ETFC yesterday. CFC went from 4.36 to 5.11. CFC. Yeah, that big monster in serious trouble. ETFC just has to get rid of some pesky little interest rate (12.5%) and do something about writedowns and it should bounce quickly back to 15$. Yesterday should have given that hope a reality check for the positive.

Something is amiss here.
