WED 2/4: RBC – BUYING (2/3) @ $520.25

3:52 PM – I’ve been watching this stock closely for some time and am taking a shot here ahead of earnings, which is inherently risky. That said, the stock carries near-top overall ranks and the company is supported by solid fundamentals, justifying a 2/3 position with heightened awareness around event risk. Of note – industry rival, Timken (TRK) just reported, and the stock broke out nicely.

James’ Trader’s Tip: Buying Ahead of Earnings is Very Risky

  • Buying ahead of earnings raises volatility and uncertainty.

  • Strong ranks and fundamentals can justify participation.

  • When taking calculated risk, stay alert, flexible, and rule-driven.
