Hello everybody. Happy Wednesday. It’s another slow, dreary day on the market. So, let’s make it exciting by looking into an Overnight Trade that can make us some nice returns. Our Play of the Week and half Overnight Trade in Suntech Power (STP) worked out rather well. Yesterday, the stock jumped up 4% during the trading session and returned most of our losses and then some. Before the close, I exited half the position at 9.00. The other half we exited this morning. The company reported EPS in line, and then raised its 2010 outlook and CapEx. I had a market order ready to go for the open and got out at 9.24. That was an average exit of 9.12. On an entry of 8.90, we made a solid 2.75%.
Let’s find another opportunity that can make that sort of return and more…

The company is the world’s second largest technology distributor behind Ingram Micro. he company is estimated to report EPS at 0.78 vs. one year ago’s 0.70. The company saw in its quarter previous EPS at 0.88. What initially attracted me to TECD was its undervaluation moving into earnings and its continuous success at beating earnings estimates.
