Akam

[Bill Fisher]

psssst....... blue horeshoe loves AKAM

the big pull back has created an excellent opportunity to get in here soon

my advice?...... wait 'til it hits it's near-term bottom and has started back up

FWIW, cramer pumps it all the time, and there's a whole slough of others that think big things about it

personally i'm up over 100% in less than 10 months and am looking to add

and fwiw, i eat, breathe, sleep the market when i'm not fishing
(as matter-o-fact, i retired in my early 30's as a day-trader)

now i'm more of a value investor living off dividends and my occasional trading profits because i'm still a ways away from being eligible for social security (not that i'll EVER need it)

Looks like AKAM, has been a good ride for the past 12 months......

also shoulda mentioned that there are alotta people out there using margin, and there's something i like to call the 'Three Day Rule'.........

Generally speaking, when a stock drops to such a degree that it can create margin calls, and you should wait for the 3rd day after the drop before taking a position rather than jumping in right away......

The 3 days allows for the covering of margin calls which more-often-than-not marks the bottom and a safer entry point..............

Once the 3rd day passes, it's safer to take a position in the now beaten-down-stock rather than trying to catch a falling knife............

Anyone that's going to get out is out by now, and buyers tend to step back in

i call that the 3-Day-Rule

(you won't find that in any books on trading)

looks like today, investors are already trying to position themselves for the next run
