This Bull
is Giving Up
Over the Summer I read an article about Overstock (NASDAQ
OSTK: $56.30) at ZeroHedge. I
learned more about the ICO space after visiting the Securities and
Exchange Commission web site and thought that Overstock
was on to something and appeared to be a first mover in the blockchain
technology space. In late August Overstock reported their quarterly
financials that were not that impressive and I didn't find the stock overvalued
to be a short pick nor did I think it was so cheap that it was attractive to be
a long pick. But after reading the Conference Call
transcript and hearing more about the ICO space, I thought it
would be a good idea for my subscribers to speculate on and I added it to
my August 25th Long
Idea List for subscribers and wrote in my note that I thought
shares could fetch over $100 if it could get caught up into the ICO euphoria.
Well within 3 months the shares have skyrocketed up nearly $37.00 for a 188%
gain.
This past week on the World Wide Web, specifically Twitter, Overstock has
erupted into a Bull/Bear battle. I avoid battle ground stocks and have decided
to remove OSTK from my buy list and suggest my subscribers take profits and
that I will no longer be covering this ticker.
I may be very wrong and the shares may go to $100+, but I would rather be
conservative and safe, it would be horrible if the shares returned to the teens
and subscribers end up not making a dime.
The company does not have that many shares outstanding and with a large
short interest the shares can really fly but I would rather stick to
fundamentals and avoid this hot story.
