It jumped right through its 50 dayIm taking a position.Any Feedback on this pick?Thks in advance
I'm not saying that it cant go up but the 200 ema is right in the way. Also this is a tall white candle without tall white volume. IMO
Hmm.. its up a bit to much for a $20 range stock without any news. I'll put it on radar and see where it leads.
good luck though
I agree completely with you about the 200 day and candlestick and it has moved quite a bit in the last few days,just I had a confirmation for a buy based on several other indicators,but I could be wrong.I will wait till end of day and then buy a small position.I will have a stop at $19.36 and it will have till friday to move.Thks again for your advice,sincerely
It looks like we're gonna go head to head. I'm seriously considering shorting after the open tomorrow. I'm getting ready for the market to retrace a little and BCSI seems vulnerable...of course I may be totally off and the market may just steamroll ahead.
There is definitely validity to shorting this stock I agree.And I might be wrong.I got it at the close at $19.41.So I will keep a close watch at it tommorow.Harmonic points are at $19.36 and at $18.84 if it fails to maintain above them ,I will close out,and move on.
was hoping it would close higher...my short was gonna be from 20 - 19.50...doesnt look so attractive to me now
Its a repeat loser. Wont trust this one.
There was some small lot sells at the end ,thats why its finished where it did.Lets see what happens today.
Its up to$22.45 afterhours trading,I will take my profit tomorrow,hopefully will get a spike on the open.
earnings release...i'm surprised u held over earnings....to me thats gambling >:D but you lucked out :o...this time
you may want to sell in the aftermarket if you can...
I usually dont,to be honest,earnings reports scare me.Just this time,I liked how the stock was acting before close.
Got spike.sold at $25.33..did not want to hold on to this over the weekend.
Beats by .06, beats on revs. guidance above consensus.

On a GAAP basis, the Company reported net income of $7.0 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to net income of $2.6 million, or $0.07 per diluted share in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Net income in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 includes $4.0 million in stock-based compensation expense, $0.7 million in expenses associated with the stock option investigation, $0.4 million in amortization of intangible assets, and approximately $0.3 million related to legal settlement expenses. In the first quarter of fiscal 2008, net income included $3.3 million in stock-based compensation expense, $1.9 million in expenses associated with the stock option investigation, and $0.4 million in amortization of intangible assets.
The Company reported non-GAAP net income of $12.4 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to non-GAAP net income of $8.3 million, or $0.21 per diluted share in the first quarter of fiscal 2008.
"It is becoming increasingly evident that the WAN optimization market is evolving in a way that favors our unique approach to stopping the bad and accelerating the good," said Brian NeSmith, president and chief executive officer, Blue Coat Systems. "Our momentum demonstrates that the market is beginning to understand and insist on solving the broader, more strategic issues in application delivery."
Blue Coat ended the quarter on October 31, 2007, with cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and restricted investments totaling $152.4 million, an increase of $34.4 million from the prior quarter.
The non-GAAP financial measures presented above exclude stock-based compensation expense, expenses associated with the stock option investigation and related restatement of the Company's consolidated financial statements, amortization of intangible assets, and legal settlement expenses. Refer to the accompanying tables for a detailed reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP net income and earnings per share.
Financial Outlook
For the fiscal quarter ending January 31, 2008, the Company currently anticipates net revenue in the range of $78 - $81 million. On a non-GAAP basis, which excludes the amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, and expenses associated with the stock option investigation, earnings per share is expected to be between $0.31 - $0.35 per diluted share.
About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Blue Coat uses the non-GAAP financial measures of income discussed above for internal evaluation and to report the results of its business. These non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP net income per share. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP. The measures are intended to supplement GAAP financial information, and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Blue Coat believes that these measures provide useful information to its management, board of directors and investors regarding its ongoing operating activities and business trends related to its financial condition and results of operations. Blue Coat believes that it is useful to provide investors with information to understand how specific line items in the statement of operations are affected by certain items, such as stock-based compensation expense, expenses related to the stock option investigation and restatement of the Company's consolidated financial statements, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring expense, and legal settlement expenses. In addition, the Company's management and board of directors use certain non-GAAP financial measures in developing operating budgets and in reviewing the Company's financial results of operations since items such as stock-based compensation expense, expenses related to the stock option investigation and related restatement of the Company's consolidated financial statements, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring expense, and legal settlement expenses are not considered to impact current resource allocation decisions. The Company believes that inclusion of these non-GAAP financial measures provides consistency and comparability with past reports of financial results. However, investors should be aware that non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

diluted net income per common share on a non-GAAP basis differ from
shares used in computing net loss per common share on a GAAP basis
since the inclusion of certain instruments on a GAAP basis would have
been anti-dilutive.
