UPDATE ON TENET HEALTH SHORT-TERM TRADE $THC $CYH

July 18, 2013

This post was just published on ZYX Buy Change Alert. There was a nice gain on THC the same day it was bought. This evening a competitor of THC, CYH, is reporting lousy earnings and revenues. In sympathy THC is likely to be hit hard tomorrow. At this point investors have three options. 1. Exit the position in the after market using limit orders if you can get a favorable price. 2. Let the stops hit tomorrow and exit the position. 3. CYH earnings do not change the long-term positive aspects of hospitals under Obamacare. Under this approach, stops are

EXIT FACEBOOK $FB

July 18, 2013

This post was just published on ZYX Buy Change Alert. Consider exiting FB right here in the after market around $26. The stock closed at $26.18. The reason is that CPC reported by Google in its earnings report has gone more than expectations. This may have a negative effect on FB. The plan is to take small profits here and then reenter the stock, hopefully at a lower price for the long-term.

UPDATE ON NOKIA $NOK

July 18, 2013

This post was just published on ZYX Buy Change Alert. NOK earnings were below consensus expectations. Our thesis for holding NOK is not earnings in the short-term but a longer term play on either NOK being bought out by Microsoft or Windows phone catching more traction. If the current trends continue, the plan will be to reduce the size of the position. What To Do Now? Those in the stock may continue to hold. Those not in the stock may not enter at this time.

ADD OR INITIATE TO ST JUDE MEDICAL $STJ

July 17, 2013

These posts were just published on ZYX Short Change Alert. STJ reported earnings that are slightly better than expectations. Our short thesis has to do with the quality of the products and its resulting negative effects on the company’s reputation. Our thesis remains intact. However, in this bull market it is important to be cautious. There are two courses of action here. Those who cannot handle large draw downs may need to partially cover here and cover the rest on a pullback. Those who can handle draw downs may consider adding a 10% tranche right here around $51.60. Adding another 10%
