How fickle is this market, Samtel had one the strongest core profits in years and because of the headline EPS number the stock dives close to 15% in 2 days. I am buying at these levels after unloading a portion of them on the last run up.
Would not be surprised to see it jump 50% from here as long as Trump doesn’t do anything stupid.
