CME ==> The College Bowl Winner

[dsharek]

Hello,
I like what I read about CME. I am going to continue to follow this stock. The price looks good as long as nothing has changed in the company to rationalize the drop. Do you think the recent drop was due to such a large raise in volume? I am working on my TA skills and would like to see how my interpretation is coming along.

thanks

I think the stock has run up and the lemmings like to sell when others sell. I also think that this stock is going to have incredible earnings in the next few quarters and that its stock price will zoom as a result.

So...the question is...do you want to be a lemming, or do you want to be right?

Yup. Lately there's been more sellers than buyers. Duh! Consequently, the stock price has dropped. A lot of people have made a lot of money in this stock, and they're taking their profits.

However, it makes sense to be invested in a company with amazing earnings, such as CME. The fundamentals of CME haven't changed between 12/31/2004 and now, so why bail? I'm hanging in there, because common sense will prevail.

Yup ... I think JP Morgan has a $250 target on CME. $250 wouldn't hurt my feelings any.

CME is getting hammered this morning after reporting a 92% increase in profits.

LOL...isn't this fun?

According to the bunch of analysts I was watching, CME missed earnings by 3 cents X 34million shares that's 1.02 million dollars. Too bad someone couldn't have thrown the 1.02 mil. in the pot out of the goodness of their heart since market cap dropped 782 million because of it. Maybe the 782mil was priced into CME because of anticipation of the extra 1.02 million. What does it all mean? Got me, I'm just average Joe investor. Notice CME is bouncing back already IIC says it's upgraded, go figure.

Weak sellers are gone. This stock must have very little overhead resistance at this time. I'm sure Spike can enlighten us.

I'm sure the fundamentals are still terrific. This company is a money machine.

Mooooooo!
