Despite a downgrade this morning on valuation,
Blue Coat Systems (BCSI) had an impressive day. BCSI closed @ $76.38 Friday, it opened around $75 before dipping to near $73 around lunch time. From that point, the stock did a near 45 degree angle run into the close north of $76.
Blue Coat Systems (BCSI) was one of the stocks on my
shopping list. While my dream scenario is a drop down to the 50 day moving average in the low $60s, I just like the fundamentals a lot, so I jumped in today since the stock hit its 20 day moving average (north of $72) and bounced back nicely. I added about 100 shares today in the $74s to bring the position up to around 1.9% of the fund. In the $74 range, the stock is down about 15% from its recent highs of >$87.
I'd like to add a lot more but was/am hoping for more of a pullback to top off the position. I am going to disagree with the analyst on his valuation call in this name.
