This is not a good day for Akamai Technologies, Inc. (NasdaqGS: AKAM). Earnings off and the stock is falling off a cliff, down today 18% and more. Is this an entry point? Is the earnings issue truly a huge issue? We are seeing some downgrades, while others see the price as a steal. Personally, I am holding off for an entry that is slightly lower.
Let’s see the Buzz Here:
Money Flip Doctor had this:
Closed earnings $AKAM 82c/67p strangle $6.53 bought for $1.30 profit $523 per con. Ill take luck and a homerun, singles work great too.

Thomas Ross takes credit for calling a $1 move up in a stock down this much. What incredible talent. I predict the temperature will rise by 1 degree or more across the US during the afternoon today. I see a cooling trend starting shortly after dark today… Wow, I’m great, too!
$AKAM just hit $62.15, up $1 from my earlier alert. As I said, this is not a “pos” stock. I had a nice trade, will look again after lunch.

Vishvas calls it oversold… I’m not so sure:
Long $AKAM at 61.75. Another oversold play that I’m looking for an intraday bounce.
