Stocks Driven by Earnings

[billyjoe]

Here's a list of highly rated stocks that rose at least 4% within 24 hours of their earnings release. No significance with the 4% other than a 1.00 gain on a 25.00 stock sounded like a nice place to start.

1.CTMI 2/1/05 14% 17.36

2.WITS 2/2/05 7 19.53

10.ISRG 2/8/05 15 47.39


I'll keep adding until I'm up to date. Some have continued up and others haven't, but there's some real good one's in the bunch.

Several ones here that I've at least glanced at recently. See my comments on BMHC on this thread http://www.mrmarketishuge.com/forum/...6&postcount=19 specifically, watch out for the big volume hole it's poised to fall through.

ANF is another good one that I was in at that time.

Scifos,
I've been buying and selling BMHC since 29.90 in November. I've still got some and am seriously considering buying more next week. It's getting close to being my greatest pick of all time at least $$ wise. What do you mean by "volume hole"? It's been interesting in that it has risen for 4 months often on low volume. It then takes a dip and starts back up again. Also notice that it is still about 2.00 above its high after the earnings report. I hope I'm right in saying this one isn't about to tank.

p.s. my crazy theory is that eventually the average volume will come down and what is now low volume will become average volume

Scifos,
What do you mean by "volume hole"?

See this pic: http://img106.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img1...ge=bmhc1kc.jpg
The Red/Black bars on the left side are the trade volume at that price. There is a huge gap between $39 and $42 where there is virtually zero volume. On Feb 7th and 8th it just rocketed right through this price area. Problem is, if the price falls back into this 39-42 area, there might not be much volume again (ie the price by volume indicates support, where in the past people have been willing to buy/sell.) With gaps like that, the stock price tends to fall right through it really fast, back down to 39. For this paticular stock though, it's only passed through it once, and on two big gap days. I wouldn't be surprised to see those gaps fill really easily because of the nonexistant volume support there.

I'd also like to point out that the 42-45 range has the best volume support. So it could very well bounce off this support (its also at the midline of a 3-month regression channel). The way I'd play it is if it's up tomorrow morning I'd buy anticipating a bounce off the volume and reg channel line. I'd set my stop @ about 42 or 43, coz if it falls below that, its going way down.

58. GDP 3/28/05 10 21.58

That's the list up to date. I'm now going to determine how many days after earnings, but before the next earnings report would be the best time to sell.
Maybe there will be no pattern , but I hope something stands out. Results won't be known until the last days of May.
