guys...
IMHO...couple things..
1. You can't forget that there is still a bit of housekeeping to be done on all these transactions. Not to worry. Hey of you're just day trading a penny here or there, then play it. No offense but bringing in RS factor right here is kind of premature. And for those of you that fear RS, remember for a company NOT IN IMMINENT TROUBLE, it's not necessarily a big deal. Smart money knows that. Trust this fact: the whole world already knows Mel has the authorization that expires Dec '09. And they also know a RS will be done this year. It's no surprise to anyone. And further, this SP will be much higher than this when that split is done. As killer says: No Fear...
2. At this stage fearing a .01 or .02 drop here and there is just giving you heartburn. When a stock is moving higher it doesn't just go straight up everyday (which we all know)..but over time you see the trend and suddenly you're significantly higher. There's going to be profit taking etc...and unless you're swing trading, I say take it with a grain. Personally, I feel better about not "having" to day trade from here. I'm satisfied with the direction of things and I no longer fear stagnation or some weird sudden drop back to BK(ish) levels. So I'm probably less inclined to swing it right now. We should start to see much better action day to day with more movement so that means less just flat trading like we've been used to (hence the slow move higher)..and that also includes dips but also has us breaking into new highs. If you're day trading from here, keep in mind we've now been up 5 straight so a pull back is entirely probable.
Not much more to say. It's pretty cut and dried. If you're window is still a few months out, it certainly won't be like the past two months and the SP will see higher highs over a tranche of trading days...I know many are still jumpy and still shell shocked. It's been a pretty traumatic 6 months for us all.
