The Fools are all excited about it, and the quick numbers look good, but it concerns me that they had a big rise last quarter on a tax windfall. Plus, their receivables are way up last quarter, too.
And their website is a bandwidth hog (I’m in a hotel with minimal connectivity on a wireless card).
I see this as a take over play like DEBS (a Foolish find that made me a few bucks), except they don’t have a dividend to entice me, so I’m going to lay back and wait for them to get close to $1 per share than over $2.
Yes, I confess that I bought more today. It will either rebound at some point and turn a nice profit or go the way of my Circuit City Crap. The difference is, CC managed itself out of business where BBI is fighting a perception on Wall Street. NetFlix is an alternate model rather than a direct competitor. Anytime your not sure, look at Gamefly vs Game Stop. I’d rather pay a couple bucks more to touch and feel something before putting up money for it! Especially when my dollar is more important to me since I don’t know how long I will have it.
Yup, it’s been a while since I posted, and starting off with a bad headline to boot.
Anyway, FOLD is going into phase 3 with their treatment for Fabry disease. I don’t see a short term upside on that, but the longer term upside is their ability to target diseases with genetically engineered treatments. If they can smooth that process out there is profit to be made as an investor. Being down 20.99% today, I have to tell myself that or sell and get over it.
Stock buy back announced today by Tech Data. askStockGuru has it at 38.58 for the paranoid buy today, and my gut was at 39 before going there, so I am liking that number today 
. Setting an alert for 40.
TPC caught my eye through my stock repurchase news alert (Tutor Perini Corporation Announces Extension of its $100 Million Share Repurchase Program).
If they drop lower, I might just give it a try.
Retail is getting the thumbs down this time of year. If I wasn’t so cheap I would buy GYMB now. Instead, trying for a dip to 29.97 with a watch alert at 32 and 15%.
Hit my sell point on 11/2. Now let’s see what happens with my buy-back plan.
Like clockwork Diageo goes up for the holidays, down for the hangover and up again for the Super Bowl. The trick is calling the highs and lows (or, realistically, calling the right neighborhood of the high and low). This year I am shooting to sell at $69 and buy back at $62. Follow me here to see how it works out
In at 1.21 (should have stuck to my 1.20). Limit sell at 1.88 with alerts at 1.8 and 1.02
