WTW

So here's the deal.....

Due to so many New Years' resolutions pertaining to weight loss this trade is always a good one to put on at the first of every year. The first two earnings reports of the year are always spectacular and close to 20% of the float is sold short so you can catch a bit of a short covering rally and if you are not 100% confident it will be a huge beat you can hop off right before the release of the earnings reports. Report is due out 2/27 according to Schwab. Today is actually a good day to buy as it is down a couple of percent as I put this out there.

Interesting idea. It will of course work until it doesn't but sometimes the trend is your friend.

I remember the ole “Natural Gas is Predictable” thread

I learned a hard lesson in that thread. A few others did too, I’m sure.

The stock has been taking a nose dive since July of last year

I wouldn't be so sure that your "insider trick" is going to hold up this time partner

I looked at it the last 5 years. It looks like The price went down three times and up twice after the new year.

We all know that all a company needs to make more money are more customers


Why look at all those other silly numbers

Wait, I missed this the first wrap around.

There’s a short sentiment, meaning a not insignificant amount of people are wanting the price to go down, and you’re telling people to go long into a stock that people are wanting to drop, and then ride it back up when people start buying to cover shorts?


Why wouldn’t you just buy on margin when the sentiment changes and sell at the catalyst?

This is INCREDIBLY good insight. Oh, wait, I have another idea that's similar to yours.

Buy Apple before Q4 earnings report because they sell more iphones during christmas season therefore boosting numbers. Fcking bullet proof investing.

WTW is down another 5% today with 6 days to go.

Now at $29.08, down from $36 on the date of the OP....almost a 20% decline.

WTW closed at $19.38 on Friday.

Awful call.
