PIMPING STOCKS

[call_me_ishmael]

Another good chart detailing the rise and fall.

[call_me_ishmael]

He used to put really good notes on them detailing exactly what was happening and why. Now, he makes 35 bucks a month for a subscription so he doesn't include that level of detail for free very often.

This is the scenario that's unfolding in AAPL. You can take it to the bank.



This is a detailed essay on why.

Ha! I predicted the rare triple zig zag abc-X-abc-X-abc z slash halfback flat slot Z cross correction!

Either way, whether the cup finishes, or the bat finishes, just about everybody has AAPL hitting 750 in 2014. The chart really says it all.

I couldn't invest in any of those but FB. I can't invest in something I don't think is fundamentally sound. What does Yelp do for money? Are they in the black or red? What kind of growth can we expect? Lots of funny money in the valley.

AAPL is a growth stock. It's the law of large numbers. 8% growth at 200B is a hell of a lot more additional profit compared to 50% growth at 5B.

iWatch rumors have it coming out soon with sensors galore. I'm a little skeptical personally... but I guarantee you they are pumping an absurd amount of money to getting glucose level through a sensor without the prick. Maybe not this year, maybe not next year, but it'll happen, and it will be an additional 50 billion in revenue per year. The race for the diabetes market is on. Diabetes is going to be the world's biggest health problem very soon. Google has prototypes of contact lenses that can measure glucose, but they are a very long well from market.

TWTR is down 20%. Good time to buy in the coming weeks. Follow Pete and see what he says about it.

Dude.....answer your questions by going to read about YELP's earnings and conference call. They just killed it. FB and GOOD are safer investments, but YELP...WOW........up 20 % today.

Truth be told, I'm PISSED at myself for not jumping into YELP when it was in the 60's a sort time ago. Now it's 90.. I think this one...and FB...will be going way higher.

[Bretsky]

You are one of the best Apple Pimps I know, and I hope you are right. I'd still buy GOOD or FB before Apple right now. And if you want to go more risky with a much greater rewad trying to find companies like YELP whose growth is going through the roof is exciting as well.

Truth be told. a company like Apple should buy YELP. But I hope it doesn't because I think I'd taking the plunge soon taking about half the position I want long term.

In the past week, we have learned some of these new IPO stocks are pretenders while others are contenders to get way bigger. Twitter, right now...a definite pretender. YELP has a shot to make people wealthy. I think the same of Workday and ServiceNow.

Apple is a safe pick IMO but GOOG is far more impressive right now if you are looking at stocks priced at those high levels IMO.

But I'm not looking for what Apple can offer me now. I get that it can double in the next one to three years. I'm looking for a high growth gamechanger that can offer multi baggers....... in the constant quest to get the huge returns of a company making a run like Apple did. So we're looking for different things. No rights or wrongs here.

Hopefully we both kick ass

[call_me_ishmael]

GOOG will be the biggest company in the world someday. Self driving cars will get them there.

If AAPL bought a company like YELP, that's when I would say they're fucked and get out. That would be a true sign that they don't know what they're doing and just trying to do ANYTHING to get some mojo back. YELP and AAPL have very different business models and they don't align at all IMO. Web advertising is rapidly dying - that's why GOOG is getting into other areas of exploration rapidly.

I see TWTR providing far more business and economic value than YELP. Certainly long term. TWTR is, what, 3x the size in market cap? I see them as 100x more valuable of a company personally. It's all funny money and smoke and mirrors, though. Remember when GRPN and Living Social were the darlings despite not making any real money? Fundamentals matter when investing for the long term, but short term technical measures almost always win.

The engineer in me wants the google self-driving car to be a thing but the business administrator in me thinks Tesla's less ambitious autopilot that doesn't require a crazy expensive Lidar unit is a lot more likely to become a thing.

Oh yeah? I predicted the first offensive play in the Super Bowl would result in a safety. It was obvious. The signs were all there.......IF you knew where to look.

Are you referring to the 1 weird trick that can let me retire 100% tax-free?

Crab is a common chart pattern. I don't understand a significant amount of the stuff. The big premise is that when certain counts are achieved, you have these predefined pullbacks and bounces that follow some % based on the 1.618 golden ratio.

I typically just observe the chart patterns and follow the advice we normally posts about it. Peter is easily the best I've ever seen.

It worried me when you say you don't understand a lot of the stuff but take his word like a Bible. If he's calling all of ths stuff, I'm wondering why you are still in Apple. Woudn't you have sold long ago and now wait for the $425 ? I'm honest here in that I am NOT remotedly a technical expert. I read a lot about the fundamentals and companies I invest in and really read about their earnings reports and forecasts going forward.

I'm pretty much only searching for hyper growth companies....so I understand the valuations of some of the stocks I own and am most interested in will be high.

I also understand I'm looking for the multi baggers and with that comes a very high amount of risk....and reward if I hit the right ones. So I'm investng with money I can lose so I feel fine looking mainly at high risk/reward stocks

Partial......you should watch Mad Money. I tape it every night and watch it DVR wise. Really a nice spot to discover companies for future research.
