... and with the stock up 2% already in the after-hours, the people who bought those call options today can sell them tomorrow at a profit! Pretty cool system isn't it? ;)
Sentiment: Buy
Lots of folks betting that the price will be above $18 by Friday 5/17/13. From the price action yesterday and today I'd say that's a stretch but maybe they know something about the earnings report that the rest of us don't yet know.

I listened to much of the Buffett interview and he didn't say anything bad about JCP. He hopes the company does well because his Fruit-of-the-Loom sells to it. As for Soros selling out... geez man, the guy just disclosed his 7.9% passive stake. That guy doesn't make billions of dollars by selling out with a couple dimes of profit. I think he will wait for 25-50% gains.

HLF is up 20% in two weeks and you think it's undervalued? Anyway, this is the JCP board.
It's possible.
Sentiment: Buy
I'm pretty sure Churchill and Stalin aren't buying right now but maybe the others are buying!
Are you the same messnervan who always dissed me back in Best Buy stock when I was positive (while the stock traded below 12)? Have you checked that stock lately? Were you short for the last 14 points up?
Sentiment: Buy
For all we know, Eddie Lampert is buying into this company to add to the K-Mart & Sears empire. He seems to like real estate and has some experience in the retail world. Who knows...
Sentiment: Buy
Does JCP have a poison pill that would prevent him from going higher? Didn't he say that the real estate was worth $10 per share... seems like the company is selling for cheap.
I am curious to see who will be the next big name into the stock. Wealthy people seems to back up each other's ideas and actions.

It is pretty simple. Apple is borrowing money to increase its' debt so it can pay you a dividend. The dividend is not tax-deductible for the company but it is taxable to you as income.
Let's say the stock is 450 when it pays you a 20 dividend. The stock should trade at 430 the next day. The 20 is not deductible for Apple but now you have to pay income tax on it. Everyone is worse off except now people aren't bugging the company because of it's cash hoard.
Maybe he just needed a little money for the weekend. Afterall, he is worth about $25 billion. $51 million is chump change to him.
I caught that share buy back news too. Seems they waited till almost the very highest point in the quarter to do their buy back. They could probably have saved millions and got a much better deal by hiring most any long on this board to help them out. I guess I could be available for a price!! ;)
Sentiment: Buy
You know... "not as bad as expected" might mean a short term bounce in stock price but I doubt it means long term strength. I was hoping for something a little more positive. Oh well, tmw is another day!
Sentiment: Buy
The 'fade in the stock'? What do you mean? The stock is up from less than $12 at the end of last year. The competition with Amazon has not gone away. The stock price could easily go back down 50% of the 2013 gain -- to $18 and still be overpriced by some standards.
Up 3% so far on earnings days has to be good news. Guess we'll know more later after the actual announcement!
Sentiment: Buy
Expectations are low. Suppose they will beat the low bar or not... ?

Yahoo has an article with that name as the author. Who is it? Anybody know? I read an awful lot of articles and I don't think I've seen that name before.
Sentiment: Buy
Do we call an exterminator or just hope the shorts go away by themselves?
Sentiment: Buy
Sandisk just reported and beat on the top line, bottom line and the margin improved. Do you suppose this will be good news for LSI?
Sentiment: Buy
If you look at the headlines listed on Yahoo for AA you'll see that on 4/15/13 Cramer's company reiterated it's "hold" rating on AA for several reasons. Now today 4/17/13 the same article (almost a cut-n-paste) upgrades AA to "buy from hold". Given Cramer's history with stock predictions, I'm tempted to sell out my long position in AA.
Sentiment: Buy
... This market is just unstoppable! Thanks to the Fed I guess for the massive sugar high. $85 billion per month in purchases??? The economy didn't need that back when it was on life-support. It sure as heck doesn't need it now. Get the Fed out of the way and let the economy grow without a trillion a year in subsidies. Buy a little FAZ for insurance against the lunacy continuing.
Sentiment: Buy
