Chapdogs in the house

just seems like there is not equilibrium till around $22 range in terms of VMware in the VWM and VMware within EMC.
 
Chap,

I don't think your reasoning is wrong, I think it is more of a timing issue. I disagree with the move happening in the next few weeks. There is simply too much negative influence in the market. Coupled with a need to be able to break through the 52 week high, I just don't see it happening that quickly. That said, I don't think it is a bad move, just think it will take longer than you think.
 
ugg should have held VMW 1 more day... i never can figure out the market.. lol how does VMW that holds only 10% of VMware rage to $62 per share while EMC that holds 90% of the stock linger around

I don't know much about stocks, I only posted on this thread to flirt with SF. But I don't mind reading what you guys write about them, unlike Battleborne, because I'm interested in learning more on the subject. I even read Top's posts on the subject...though I consider them suspect.

Topper's advice is most often very good. You have to get past all that "I'm so smart and you so dumb" crap he puts in them, but at the heart of it, they are sound advice.

The woulda coulda shoulda's will kill you. Enjoy the profit you made. While VMW is only about 10% of VMware it is 100% of what VMW does. Whereas with EMC, it is only a part of what EMC does. When you look at EMC you have to factor in the debt, the profitability and the market perception on the stock. People tend to be more forgiving and euphoric with IPOs if they come out of the gate hot.

VMW will eventually settle down. EMC will eventually reflect a more accurate valuation based on its ownership of VMware.

It is very rare that your timing will be perfect when trading. Just remember the logic behind your selling VMW was correct, as is your assessment that EMC will eventually move upwards. But instant gratification is rare.... be patient and allow the trade to work for you. Notice today that EMC is indeed up, but that the pressure on it as it tries to break through a 52 week high is there and it could take a day, a month, a quarter or a year to push through that resistence. Plan on the longer outcome, if it happens sooner, you will be pleasantly surprised. Planning conservatively will help you avoid making decisions based on emotions.

Side Note: I know you are probably aware of most of the above, but just wanted to put it out there as a reminder.
