  • 06:17 ET I2 Technologies conference call details (ITWO) 13.00 -0.03:Analysts offer praise and congratulations for ITWO management on call. Analysts said they are IMPRESSED with what new CEO has accomplished; they want to know how long he'll stick around -- CEO says he's just getting started at the co, says he's "having a lot of fun." Several wanted to know how ITWO plans to cut debt; co says it has a multi-pronged plan, will continue to look at non-core businesses it can sell, licensing opportunities for upfront cash, potentially more equity investment, and some longer-term senior debt or a refinancing. ITWO says it expects revs to decline sequentially in Q3, even though it expects to be profitable. Yet co notes its deferred revs increase, says it saw "relief" on behalf of some customers, as they were closing bookings due specifically to the fact that ITWO is addressing its cash-to-debt gap (co has $316.8 mln debt, $298.3 mln cash, for a gap of $18.5 mln). NOTE: ITWO is up $4.15, or 32%, to $17.15 after hours.

Planning for investments and trading

I'm reading a book titled "Come into my Trading Room" written by Dr. Alexander Elder. He talks about trading and investing psychologies and the critical nature to planning of mind, method and money. A takeaway for me was the thought of fear and greed and the awareness of these feelings in the market and yourself in your trading. This also coincides with the entry in the markets as entertainment. The excitement of the trade - getting carried away with the potential for gain and disappointment of losses. It is similar to the casino and the racetrack with so many bets to make.... The key to the money aspect is managing your trades to be diversified and not enter all-in or all-out situations. This is difficult unless you really focus on it. One of the things holding back my trading is following too many stocks and this paralyzes me from making a decision. I want to make the perfect trade and that's because I'm doing an all-in.
