Under Armor Conference Call

So this morning I decided to listen to the Under Armor Conference Call on 3rd Quarter results. I am a proud Under Armor Stock holder and I wanted to see where their corporate direction was heading for Q4 and 2008. I'm a huge fan - not only because they are in Baltimore and their office is above Advertising.com's, but they are huge growing brand. Just watch TV and you'll see actors and sports figures all over wearing the gear.

I am a novice investor and opened up my Etrade extended pricing with real time quotes. I'm still baffled but happy at the same time.

The stock closed yesterday at $58.73 - The earning announcement occurred at 8:30 and there must have been a huge sell off as the stock plummetted before open at 53.50 and I was able to grab a additional shares at $54. That being said it's 9:22 and the con call is still happening and the stock is now up to $61.35 before open.

I don't get. I was able to make a nice profit early this morning by buying the additional shares at the extended hours and if I would have missed the call. I would have checked my stocks and been none the wiser. Happy with the growth - Happy with the result. I'm baffled I was so worried that the stock would fall lower than the $54 early this am and now I can't believe it's at 61. I'm glad I don't do this for a living.

Now I realize that brokers I worked with before - didn't work hard enough for my money. If you are patient there are always sellers and always buyers. As Jim Cramer says - never buy at the Market.

Happy Halloween and Go Under Armor Go. Just to support the cause I'm buying some under gear for the kiddies to trick or treat in!

Number 1 Ranking for David Carberry on Google.

Okay I have to say I need to start writing more about my industry instead of my personal life.
So that being said - I have held the top spot for myself after starting this blog.
It was a tough challenge (kind of) to beat out the David Carberry in the flying fruit circus, and well the international soccer phenom David Carberry.

It's me - so now if I can only get some love from the SEO community in an article like this http://www.searchengineguide.com/degeyter/010561.html.

It's a pretty interesting spin on how Search Engine Marketers get ranked. Poor Shari Thurow didn't realize the industry took this that seriously.
