Just a quick note that following NT's pre announcement shares are surging by more than $2 today. This past Friday my options screener picked up on heavy call buying in NT: http://bp0.blogger.com/_84k-wHwCcow/RjI1urRWY8I/AAAAAAAAAwY/drP0p2APpN0/s1600-h/screener.png. The two NT calls have more than doubled with today's rally.

NT keeps showing up on the Blow Off Bottom (or"BOB" if you prefer) setup screen over the past week or so. This fact made me take a closer look at the chart:Assuming NT completes its BOB today, it will have completed three BOBs (identified by blue arrows) in just eleven trading days. This means that nine of the past eleven trading days for NT were either day 1, 2, or 3 of a BOB. That may well be a record.The other two things that struck me about this chart are 1) the fact that the prevailing trend for NT is definitely negative and, 2) the fact that the first two BOBs I point out didn't work out very well. The question is why, when I knew of each NT BOB as it was occurring, did I choose not to buy them?I'm obviously a huge fan of the BOB setup, as evidenced by the fact that at any given time BOBs make up approximately half of my swing trading portfolio. I've used it in every timeframe from 15 minute charts to weekly charts and I find it to be effective the majority of the time. BOBs a

(Networld) La interfaz de la cuenta de usuarios, el cifrado de la web y las contraseñas son susceptibles a ataques externos según la compañía. Nortel esta semana ha advertido de varios defectos y backdoors en sus productos que podrían permitir el acceso desautorizado a la red de una empresa. Las cuentas de usuario usadas para el diagnostico de los Routers Norten por VPN (conocidas como Contivity) se podrían utilizar para acceder a una VPN corporativa. La otra vulnerabilidad potencial, un usuario remoto desautorizado podría tener acceso administrativo a un Router a través de un explorador Web. La tercera vulnerabilidad podía dar lugar a un usuario remoto hacerse con las contraseñas de los usuario vía VPN. Nortel ha publicado unos parches para solucionar estas vulnerabilidades.

Nortel put out another set of dizzying financials today. Revenue rose 17% to $2.96 billion. The company's loss fell slightly to $99 million. As usual, the company cannot put out a clear set of numbers. The report had "a gain of $43 million related to changes to its North American employee benefit plans; a gain of $16 million on asset sales; shareholder litigation expenses of $38 million; and restructuring charges of $25 million".The company also said it would do a 10-for-1 reverse split. These actions always look weak. They are a sign that the company cannot get the stock price up on its own. It also takes a company off its regular spot on the "most actives" list because its trades about 20 million shares a day on the NYSE. It will be lucky to trade 2 million now. Stupid marketing and investor relations move.The argument for the reverse split is that institutions will often not buy stocks that are under $5. Until Nortel stops losing money, Big Money is not going to look at it anyway.
