ESI - this was the strange one. I thought it was a blowout. And they increased their guidance. The stock was up 5% pre-open as I drank my latte made with skim milk (InPlay: ITT Educational beats by $0.18, beats on revs; guides FY10 EPS above consensus). But they turned south and dropped about 4.5%. I guess it was something due to regulatory concerns (UPDATE - ITT Educational shares slip on regulatory concerns).
RTN - this is my classic large cap MFI stock, where Mr Market just went "nuts". I don't know why they had dropped all the way to the $45 share price I got. Again, I thought the earnings were superlative (InPlay: Raytheon beats by $0.07, misses on revs; guides FY10 EPS below consensus, revs in-line). They were down 3/4th of a percent.
RAI - the tobacco companies keep making money (Reynolds American's 1Q profit rises). The stock was up 0.65%.
Here are my current stocks and how they have fared (RGR has really been "shooting up" [sorry. couldn't resist]):
| TTT | 73% |

| WILC | 181% |
| SHE | 62% |

Then while I was off-island and stranded by the volcano, AGX announced poor earnings (Argan, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Year End Results). The historical price table shows what has happened:

Not sure if it is just me but my stocks have been killing the market recently. Was planning on doing a solid review this weekend and had planned on buying WDC shortly but they are up 10% in the last few days. Still may buy it since once you back the cash per share from the price, the PE is still only around 6 based on forward earnings.
