That's a very unbelievable statement. Do you have any evidence to support it?
It's earnings dude. Expect a 5% pop after market. So around 440-445. More if they announce split/dividend..etc
Last report I think it went up about 7%-ish or so.
There is always a chance that they won't meet expectations but the bullish mood of the market would probably overlook it. I think that if the report is good, it will carry the NASDAQ up for a couple of days.
With a 100% earnings beat track record, buying today and selling (then shorting) the open tomorrow would be a low risk move.

I'm new and glad to join this board. Thanks Cobra for granting me the access.
For bullivers (yes, this is the word I made up, bull-believers), it is time to buy oil and gas shares again, e.g. ERX. Below are the reasons:
1. It is still relatively low comparing to tech.
2. Patterns show oil and gas are trending up heading to winter time.
3. Halliburton boosts 3Q profits by 26 pct.
4. Libya social-politics is getting better. Oil and gas companies will heading back there.
5. Most of oil and gas companies haven't released earning yet. There will be speculations when ER getting close.
...
Good luck. I am long in ERX, NOG and SPN.
Welcome GK! Thanx for telling us what you see during your “Bulliver’s Travels”.
Wellcome GreedyKo., If your favorite taste is Oil and Energy, why don't you care XCO? Technically it has plenty room ahead (I don't owe it). I am long XIV & SWC.
at the high of 121.34, spy reached 61.8% price of 1st leg. so if it turns back down which is totally normal. or it could go back up to 121.53 or more and up to 122 (161.8% of 1st leg) which is also acceptable. anything more than 122 then bears are screwed.
