  • Zimzala: Notable earning for the week via earnings whisper: #earnings for the week $NIO $GTLB $GME $CIEN $DOCU $SAIC $ASO $SJM $CXM $THO $OLLI $MOMO $CBRL $FERG $TTC $HQY $CPB $PLAY $QMCO $FCEL $LOVE $ABM $CNM $HTOO $TCOM $JOAN $UNFI $SFIX $CHS $GIII $SIG $SMAR $PL $ZFOX $HYZN $VRA $CASY $MTN $SMTC $ALYA $DBI $SCWX $JILL $OESX $BSE $REVG $VBNK $VRNT $RENT $HCP
  • DAN: A few stocks I am watching: $VRA -- fairly new uptrend on the X-axis (though it's doubled since Oct.). Pushing through $6.00 resistance today. $BBW -- still a bit volatile, but starting to tighten up. $FIVE -- put that out earlier this today. $URBN -- still needs to pinch a bit...but it's showing a decent setup (just not yet). $FSLR -- holding $200. $EXTR -- building right side of base. Up today. $ALGM -- good company. Really straightens those teeth out. $SCPL -- 50-day MA support $ULTA -- a bit too steep last week but holding at the 50-day MA now. Could be a good setup. $DRI Plenty more...I just got tired of typing. [By the way, I was kidding about $ALGM. They are a semi company.]
  • champ: @DAN $VRA $BBW $FIVE $URBN $FSLR $EXTR $ALGM $SCPL $ULTA.....$DRI, at $151 and this restaurant chain, owns Olive Garden and LongHorn Steakhouse restaurants....and they had a nice beat and also raised on all lines, on 3/22...... .....and they even raised Q3 comps up plus %2B11.7%....and I'm holding a position. I eat there every week. ~~~This is a quick note, after I saw your post.

  • debeers: $VRA-well, the expectations finally got low enough so that the earnings were in the bag. NP
  • shoredriver: @debeers $VRA ..I'm certainly no Diana Vreeland, but am pretty this sure is not a millennial friendly product....
  • debeers: @shoredriver $VRA -Vera is mainly low end, cloth bags with interesting prints. You are not bringing their bags to see clients. Much more a student and tweener market.

  • scottto: @Aragorn - I created an interesting scan in StockCharts that looks for stocks with the following characteristics: 1) Recent 50-day low. 2) Recently increased volatility. 3) Close > 8-day EMA 4) todays 8-day EMA higher than 3 days ago 8-day EMA (arbitrary on the 3 days, could have chosen yesterday, last week, etc..) 5) Close > $5 (don't want the zillion penny stocks that these screens always pull out). 6) 20-day average volume greater than 500,000 (again don't want the illiquid collection that these screens always pull out). Here's the results: $AOL $AXS $CYH $DF $DHI $GGP $GEO $HOV $VVR $EMLC $MDC $MTH $SEAS $SE $TOL $VRA Some decent looking possibilities in there. Think I'll post over in OMM too so I/anyone can drag over the charts and check em out. Cheers.
  • bethany: $VRA - would love some analysis. $VRA came out of consolidation today. Up 5.86%...cutting through the 50.
  • MissEllie: VRA-much maligned, oversold and heavily shorted $VRA managed to beat earnings by 2 cents-stock up 10% in aftermarket at present.
  • hwyflier: $VRA : MissEllie , Interesting. Not so much the beat, but its effect on the stock price. Is the market's reaction a substantive change in response less bad news?
  • humble: $VRA - slow friday....anyone watching this?....got punished for outlook.....could bounce or fall like knife.....any info to take of the screen and I might listen....
  • humble: $VRA - thank u

  • firebird68: $VRA ~ 5 min. chart a thing of beauty watching shorts trying to cover. position: accidentally long (forgot to adjust my plunge buy order from a previous day and got filled) I guess I've found my lotto ticket for the month of March. earnings March 14 edit postition to position: @eh, maybe postition is getting stuck with shares you didn't mean to buy a that level.
  • firebird68: $VRA ~ aaaaaaaaand postition is closed out. phew. Gave me my money back and then some. Didn't want to turn the h back into a cr in this happy accident. still gonna watch what transpires around earnings on the 14th. 59 min. trade possibilities ?
  • MSL: Shorts, HEK 42% short interest reports tomorrow and $VRA 85% next week. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7ZI1iqDa3s&feature=related
  • galcebo: HEK- $VRA @MSL are you in these trades and how are you playing them, safely. Could be a heck of a #squeeze. thanks
  • firebird68: $VRA ~ saw #Cramer mention this the other day......think he called it a battleground stock. Bulls n Bears playin' tug-o-war... Short interest: Yahoo: 85% TdAmer. showing 55% Stilletos n $KORS been rockin' it of late.......maybe Vera Bradley handbags are the next thing.... currently no position.......just watching for now.
  • Tricia: VRA: This company makes "cloth" handbags and accessories - IPO'd last year - tanked for a good bit & the chart looks ....well, nothing like what you all draw, but it is 50% short - avg daily volume is 600k, in Dec 2.6M shares were shorted - look with 42 first cousins - Xmas delivered $VRA products across the US to my family members (..... perhaps @Henry or Jay or Mr. Hywyflier can present a chart interpretation for us ... I'm still learning @charting and I need to learn how to move a chart from Worden to here....but FWIW, I think this is going to run up bit this week and pay my VSIA next week...... :)
  • Henry: $VRA @Tricia Sorry I had to go out. http://www.flickr.com/photos/29801147@N08/6679908683/sizes/l/in/photostream/ I think it goes higher, but not dramatically. Resistance for me would be at 36.68 at the 200 ema
  • Tricia: $VRA @Henry. Thanks for the chart. The stock is 50 % short. It actually hit the 50 day and retreated, then moved up = but not to the 50 DMA. I bought this after after Xmas because my friends in the rag trade use these for travel, and business. I also have LIZ because my friends all like Kate Spade - this is also short, but only 30%. I thought if the products were good and moved, then the shorts would be wrong. I guess that is not the best of thesis(s). Have a great night and thanks.
  • Tricia: $VRA LIZ @Henry - I agree with your father! ETHICS - that ticker is very expensive, but I think most folks are still buying it. I will try to finish some research on some bio-tech & diagnostic stocks that I think are going to be quite successful this ... would like your feedback when I get them done. #RHRN, I need to pour a glass of dinner and walk the pup..... Nugget gets annoyed if he is kept waiting. Thanks!

  • C.K.: $VRA & $PVH - Still holding $PVH which now has long legged #doji so may sell or just keep stop in place. $VRA was the winner today. I mentioned the big short interest in this one yesterday. Earnings out last night were decent and the rise in FY12 guidance added to the fuel of short covering. However, I did not long $VRA into earnings close $30.57-- wish I had as it closed today at $35.14. ck
  • C.K.: $PVH & $VRA report tonight. Both could have a good short #squeeze on decent earnings. Not long $VRA though. ck
  • arrow: $VRA - big selloff on earnings, looks like it has stabilized now. large % of float short.
  • joanie: IPO Highs - $VRA made a new high in late March, but has been marching upwards ever since. Be careful because of the low volume. Like $TSRX, SMM can easily move this stock $RLD broke out last week and announced license agreement with Samsung this am, $BBRG - broke out with conviction last Thursday; Friday's pullback giving an entry.
  • SMMM4961: $VRA - look at the daily (breakout of vol #squeeze?) and weekly charts and then watch @Dan's IPO strategy starting at 20min 47sec into this strategy session: http://www.stockmarketmentor.com/members/2741.cfm Something to put on the radar screen to see how it plays out ...

  • Jeff31572: HHWW-@Ginny, thanks for the tip. As a retired fashion/garment industry guy, I took a look at his product and it has a really great look to me. I bought some as a real spec play...I have done really well so far with $VRA IPO and will see what earnings are after market close today. Thanks again.
  • Golf77: Line then $VRA TFM $SODA TOWR would have kept you out and and not using the IPO strategy correctly. I think you should revisit the strategy

  • couchturnip: $VRA - New High today on this recent IPO. Thanks Jeff31572
  • Golf77: $VRA good IPO chart hopefully you have winnings from $SODA and roll it into VRA. Beware EARNINGS ON DECEMBER 7TH. Sell before earnings.......
  • Golf77: Three IPO charts $VRA TFM TOWR. buying more $VRA and TFM. Would like to see more volume
  • Jeff31572: SODA-Fiddler-Yes I am...I am also in $VRA (another IPO I like and seems to have a good shot at nothing but blue skies) who reports next week>
  • bethany: $VRA - @Jeff - just checked that out. Almost in blue sky and the coming of the holidays...should do well. Vera Bradley is very hot for teens and woman. Very preppy and expensive. I will be watching.
