Why Tompkins (NYSEAMEX:TMP) Is a Bad Buy Here
Posted by BigBoxBreakouts on January 31st, 2012

In my opinion dividend investors who have seen a gain of $1 to $2 on Monday should do well to take the profit immediately and forgo the $0.36 dividend altogether. Under no circumstances should anyone buy the stock at these levels, i.e. $42-$43 for the dividend as TMP is almost guaranteed to fall back to $40 or even lower within days of the ex-dividend date.

Illumina (NASDAQ:ILMN) Has Very Small Upside At These Levels
Posted by BigBoxBreakouts on January 26th, 2012

Barring the unlikely event that another suitor may step in and start a bidding war, investors buying at these levels will likely see ILMN drift down to as low as $50 over the next 6-7 months. Eventually if they have managed to hold on, they will have the opportunity to tender their shares at a price almost as high as the current market prices.
