Earnings and what it can mean to ACR

I know not too long ago, I mentioned that I would experiment holding TRMS thru earnings. My thoughts were that the stock would react positively. I was wrong. I was able to sell the stock and still escape with a little profit. The moral of the story? Becareful when holding through earnings! It can be a very positive thing (such as in CUTR's case, after todays bell! The stock closed at $26 and is up to $32 AH! I know, incredible!) or it can fall like TRMS, DKS (Dicks Sporting Goods), etc. More often than not, its a safer bet to sell some of your stake before earnings. That way if its bad news, you wont take such a big hit. On the other hand, if its good news, you will make some money (but not too much) with your remaining shares.

So what do we do with ACR reporting on November 3rd? You can implement the strategy mentioned above, or if you are a long term investor, just take a little off the table and don't worry if it drops a little. You can even take advantage of this and get some shares for a cheaper price. Their previous quarters are not too shabby. My opinion is that they will beat estimates! We'll see soon enough!

Hey Dave!

Thanks Dave! We'll see by November 3rd if ACR was a good call or not, lol. But seriously, even if it falters a little, I still like ACR as a long term investment! It has plenty of growth potential and a nice chart as well! Ahh, how can I forget about DCEL! Even though DCEL has taken a hit (especially today), I still like it as a long term trade! There were a lot of buys when the stock fell today! Plenty of more buy orders open as well! Eh forget about TRMS! TRMS is done for as a trade! If it starts showing strength and crosses the 50day, maybe I'll recommend it again! But thats a big if! There are so many other great stocks out there to play! We shouldnt get stuck with a previous play! We'll see ACR's legs after earnings! I think it will be positive, but the stock may still drop to 16 (buying opp). By the way did you see GOOG the last few days?! Its a monster! Also CUTR is big AH from Earnings! Unbelievable!
