Facebook: The Penguins are lining up!
https://www.facebook.com/TimKCorp
$FB Facebook has over 15 upgrades and I'm still counting. I still cant get over that they actually pay these analyst to do nothing. I would have such respect if they would man up and put their brass on the line just once prior to the report. I been pounding the table on $FB for the last quarter. I'm a small business man and even I'm buying add space. $TWTR Twitter is next week and I expect the same. I'm taking a stand and I suspect ALL TIME HIGHS in that name as well after its report. $FB $80-100 by next quarter I suspect. Its evolutionary - Even the WSJ below says it's the new newspaper. 1 in 12 people on this planet use $FB give or take a 100 mil or so. Thanks for checking and have a great day trading

Yahoo technical notes ahead of earnings
Jan 28 at 15:30
The company reports tonight after the close. Ahead of results, there are a
few technical notes of worth to mention. In the last three months, the stock is
up over 13%, even taking into account a decline in recent weeks from the 52-week
high at $41.72. The dip recently suggests caution into earnings. The shares
have been big out-performers, up more than 80% in the last year. Tonight's
results may test the honeymoon phase with CEO Mayer. On positive results,
guidance, or other news favorable to shareholders, it is probable the big test
would be at the 52-week high. Above that the next big resistance area is at
$43.45, a prior pivot high in 2005. A negative result on the same metrics
above on an increasing scale of disappointment could see $36.65, $35.06, and
$32.06 as supports that may be tested. The latter level is the pivot from
November of last year, from which the shares rallied sharply. There is a
moderate short-base in the name at 3.4% of the float short, which is essentially
neutral.

Apple Reports Monday - Facebook Google Amazon on Deck
One of my top three favorite stocks to trade is reporting this week. $FB Facebook on Wednesday after the bell, expecting .27c/share. Last quarter the stock traded up after the numbers but gave it all back during the conference call. The hoodie should really have someone else cover it, as his #'s speak better than he does. I will be in the online trading room late covering and trading the call. $AAPL Apple reports Monday after the bell and they are expecting a whopping $14.09 per share. This should be an interesting event considering all the recent headlines with Ichan and the market sell off last week. Other notable names are $GOOG, $AMZN, $V, $MA and $INVN. $YHOO reports on Wednesday after the bell
This is definitely the peak week as you can see how incredibly long the calendar below is. With recent excessive market weakness and the majority of the S&P 500 reporting this week - I'm expecting an overwhelming amount of overnight gaps, post and pre market inefficiencies providing opportunities.
A quick reminder we have extended ALL prior guest passes to access the room through January.

Why Tesla's $121,000 Model S price in China makes business sense
Jan 23 at 12:25
By Jerry Hirsch, Los Angeles Times
Jan. 23--Tesla Motors said it would sell the big battery version of its
Model S electric sports sedan in China for about $121,000. While that's an
eye-popping number to American car shoppers, it actually represents a
restrained, strategic approach for the Palo Alto automaker.
The starting price of the Model S with the 85 kWh battery pack will be
$81,070 -- the same as in the U.S. About $36,000 in Chinese tariffs and
taxes, and another $4,000 to ship the car across the Pacific Ocean make up the
rest.

Tesla Headlines - Recall Headline Imminent
Three of the headlines streaming on Tesla $TSLA today are below and they all make for interesting reading - We called out long entries shortly after the bell in the room today at the $173 level. $175.83 later on the 5 minute shift after consolidating the up even $5 level over $175 was an entry as well. I'm looking to stay involved as I suspect when this headline hits on the recall, that it will be cleared. I'm suspicious it will eclipse all time highs soon, well before its earnings release February 15th.... I purchased it after a 5 minute shift last week at $146 and sold it first day down $24 points higher at $170 - Thursday last week. Now I'm buying it aggressively $3-$6 points higher today - If you cant get it - You WANT it as the old saying goes...Currently LONG
Tesla's Musk battles recall, Bloomberg reports
Jan 21 at 07:27
Telsa Motors CEO Elon Musk is battling with the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration over the car's safety following battery fires, reports
Bloomberg. Last year, the NHTS began investigating battery fires in the Tesla
Model S sedan and then it listed as a recall Tesla?s steps to reduce fire risks
during recharging. Musk is fighting the recall to prove the cars aren't
dangerous. But he risks tangling with a regulator that could force alterations
or fine the company for not reporting what it considers safety defects.

BlackBerry Surges on Continued Pentagon Dominance
BlackBerry Ltd. (BB) surged the most in more than three years after the U.S. Department of Defense said the company’s smartphones will account for 98 percent of devices in one of its new networks.
About 80,000 BlackBerrys and 1,800 phones and tablets based on Apple Inc. (AAPL)’s iOS software and Google Inc. (GOOG)’s Android operating system will start being hooked up to the Department of Defense’s management system at the end of this month, the Defense Information Systems Agency said in astatement last week.

Stacked Earnings Calendar - $MSFT $SBUX $EBAY $NFLX $FFIV $AMD
BIG week for earnings stocks. Highlighted in bold below are the keys names we will be watching in the room this week. This is one of my favorite times of the quarter to trade as there are many tradeable names reporting. These names will surely create inefficient gaps, and momentum trends in the post markets.
Its a very big week for large cap Seminconductors, which I shy away from as they have a habit of doing the opposite of what they report. Typically you run into priced in events that trade contra to how they report.
$MSFT and $SBUX are definitly top watches later in the week on Thursday along with $JNPR. Online trading companies such as $ETFC and $AMTD report. I'm interested to see as that's a good market indicator to see if the public is in or out of the market.

You Don't Get a Billion Friends w/o Making a Few Enemies
10 Years ago yesterday - January 11th, 2004 - Mark Zuckerberg registers the domain name http://thefacebook.com with network solutions from his Harvard dorm room - Where were you?
I can remember I was taking a year off from the markets after the dot-com bubble crash. Valeting cars at Jackson Gore Inn at Okemo Vt. which was one of the most humbling years of my life. My thoughts on Facebook are as follows.
I first setup a social media profile in 2005 on My-Space - before abandoning it for Facebook.This seemed to be the trend that every other person past college was doing.
When it went public in I was suspicious as there were private equity guys all over the place offering pre- IPO stock. I learned a long long time ago from one of my first mentors (Jeffrey T Wilson the founder of Broadway Trading r.i.p.) If you can get stock - you DON'T want it. This old school saying typically holds true when it comes to IPO's and secondary offerings..
