Zacks rated GDI as strong buy and Value – Gardner Denver, Inc. (GDI)Gardner Denver, Inc. is still on track for double digit earnings growth in 2012 after posting several record quarters in 2011. This Zacks #1 Rank (strong buy) has attractive valuations with a forward P/E of 13.8.
For the last three days it got thrashed and thrown out with RED all over the chart. About 5 million shares got sold at any price market will absorb at.
I have watched this stock make constant gain and never bothered or took risk. For some reason wanted to buy some on pull back today as I could not find any news or down grade by any brokerage.
This proves never buy a falling knife. I am about $100 in red. It will not kill the portfolio - It is a lesson to be learnt. LET THE STOCK FIND ITS BASE AND THEN BUY - TILL THAT TIME MAKE MONEY GOING SHORT - Unless one is prepared to hold for ever like Mr Buffett.
I do not think GDI is a broken company - at least for now. The time will tell. One thing for sure one of major holder like Black Rock / Price T row either decided to take profit from long standing position or needed money for what ever reason and used GDI as source of funds.
It is never late to learn from one's mistakes and try not to repeat them.
I will be looking for a willing buyer some time soon. Loosing $100 should be part of traders game plan
