I booked profits at $180. I believe it'll go higher, but it's guaranteed profits and shorts seem to be hitting it right there around the $180-$181 level so far.

Will re enter on another drop without hesitation though

I am not selling either. Back in November/December I got out way too early. Left lots of money on the table.

I think Powell easily gets to $200. I will then start setting limit sales and will raise those as Powell goes up. Your upside maybe too optimistic but it is within the realm of possibilities.

I made Powell my biggest holding. $50,000 in an IRA and $50,000 in a regular account. So I am thinking big.

Thanks to Prog for the POWL call.

Are we taking profits on POWL? Or do we think there is room left to run?

There are lot smarter folks and better stock analyzers on here but here is my $.02 ignoring all other market factors.

After last quarter their trailing 12 month EPS was $8.59 and they ran to $209. After this quarter trailing 12 month EPS is $10.65 so a trailing 12 multiple is $259 per share. If they could maintain just $3.00 per quarter for awhile that is $12 annual EPS and 25x (what their trailing multiple has been around) gets you to $300. I'm not selling.

I booked profits.

Listened in to most of $POWL call that just concluded.

- Expanding facilities next to existing Mosely plant which will come online 2025.
- Solid bookings of $356 million during the quarter maintaining backlog with comparable margins.
- Had some plus-up with close out of some projects during the quarter (maybe a hint/hedge on EPS growth slowing which has to happen as they can't maintain this rate of increase)
- Continued SG&A efficiencies as they scale up
- Opportunities in battery storage space for particular specialties they bring to those projects
- Zero debt with over $350 million of cash and equivalents; They have a $150 million credit facility with zero borrowings. $62 million available after backing out $88 million of letters of credit outstanding.
- Mentioned acquisition possibilities and "nothing to announce right now" but I get a sense you should see some coming.

this is a direct video feed into the Microsoft Executive offices after learning Pelosi sold:

Sorry, you don't get to play with us with your constant bleeding and whining about it over the last few weeks. People like you will run off good posters who try to give good advice because you can't 1.) self reflect and 2.) exercise patience.

That will be the only time I address it in this thread because I don't want to derail.

Prog always coming through in the clutch Congrats on the POWL call…. AGAIN. May sell half here and let the rest ride…buy shares back if it gives some back.

ALB - Buying after earnings seems reasonable.

Not much chatter on CRWD nosedive - 40% since their IT crash. Worth buying for swing or long term hold?

Howdy Family!

Not apologizing for my absence this morning, because we all celebrate in our own ways. My beautiful 'friend with benefits' came over and she asked me to take this morning off. I love you guys, but not that damn much, lol.

After reading everyone's POWL posts last evening, you all, some for their first time, participating, profiting, and experiencing the full power of the market and how it better your lives was wonderful. I am humbled by the kind words, but you should be thanking yourselves. I brought a stock to your attention, but it was you that decided to hit enter and buy shares committing real money, not me, I was just a voice on the journey. We all made money, but I wanted it more you and money can't replace that. Great job gang! _

Obligatory for POWL:



FTR: I haven't sold a share of POWL as of yet, because I believe it will take out it's high very quickly. Across the 4 accounts that you know I control, I took a hefty amount of shares in POWL last week. If you've sold, don't rebuy because there are no guarantees that I'll be right and never regret booking a 30% profit or you deserve to be slapped. I did enjoy reading posts from this morning stressing about booking a huge profit or keep riding the ride. Those are a lot more fun than the ones we all have about booking a loss.

This is what I will begin to do after I post this with respect to transparency. I am selling only 15% of my POWL shares that I control and I'm going to roll it into ALB. 100 shares of POWL is roughly 200 shares of ALB. I am not doing this with half of my POWL shares, just 15%. This will be my first tranche of ALB and if their earnings tonight are good, then Heini is correct, I too believe it'll run to between $110-125 pretty quickly. If not, then I can add to my position at a lower entry point because I really see potential in it. I'm playing with house money anyway.

Happy for everyone!

Gig'em

Prog
