    I just wanted to update everyone on the picks I actually got into:

    GIL is up over 14% since I bought with a close price of 40.3
    JLG I sold at a 30% gain after their recent earnings sent their stock up high.
    TSAI is my laggard of the bunch but as of right now it is sitting at a little over 7% gain it's price today is $29.59

    Pretty good picks I think, I've been very happy with everyones help and their advice you guys really helped out a lot. I would have to say without this forum I wouldn't have any of these winners so Mr. Market I appreciate all that you do you've made me more money than IBD has ever made me and its all free advice.

      I was just going to revive this thread to ask what you thought of GIL and TSAI now? I am still currently invested in both and they have done quite well GIL is just shy of 30% gain and TSAI is shy of 15%. Earnings are set to be released for both at the end of this month. Would you hold on till earnings or dump and run with the money I made now?

          OK, GIL upper channel tag on the weekly, and setting up for the abc corrective on the daily now.



          TSAI bullish bias but without a suggested entry yet.

              Elliott Wave Theory
              interprets market actions in terms of recurrent price structures. Basically, Market cycles are composed of two major types of Wave : Impulse Wave and Corrective Wave. For every impulse wave, it can be sub-divided into 5 - wave structure (1-2-3-4-5), while for corrective wave, it can be sub-divided into 3 - wave structures (a-b-c).

                TSAI reported earnings today 1/31 that missed estimates by 4 cents but raised their guidance for the year. Now I know raising guidance is a good thing but missing by 4 cents thats bad. Would you take this as a good sign or a bad one? and how do you think the market will react to this news?

                  GIL released earnings today 2/1 and they were up 92% from last year and beat Q1 estimates by .04. Plus they raised their guidance for the full year by .05 from 1.85 to 1.9. Market share is rising rapidly, I think this stock has great potential what does everyone else think?

                    GIL looks nice but I wouldn't be chasing it here. Waiting for a pullback might be the better course of action.

                      I've been in and out of this stock for the past year. Made over 100% on it so far. Up 40% in it since 9/19/05. Figured it was worth it to tell you guys about it. But waiting for a pullback might be a good idea.

                        Ok I usually don't listen to outsiders but GIL has been getting beat up quite a bit on the Yahoo message boards. What do you think of the stock now? I hate to keep asking the same thing over and over but everyone here has seemed to be rather accurate on thier past opinions. I'm up quite a bit and am wondering if I should sell now and take my profits any suggestions?

                            Omaha:
                            GIL is headed to a double top here pretty quickly. There is a lot of resistance at $51. GIL has been moving up on lower volume: that's a bearish sign. So the short answer is that if I were you, and if I were in profit, I'd take it. There is no option chain for GIL, so you have absolutely no insurance. Furthermore, the point n figure chart target was met--all the way back at $26. So I'd say GIL is living on borrowed time . . . .
