Hey Saleem,

My stab-in-the-dark with VMW looks ok this morning. It is a little trickier when you can't trade pre- and post-market, but it probably helps me keep a little more company-focused and not stock-focused...if that made sense :).

Hi Stocktrader,

VMW ER was a good one.

Their guidance was realistic & fractionally off from consensus..not bad in this environment of govt spending slowdown.

VMW is higher this AM.....

Good luck with VMW !!!!

Hey c,

I wouldn't be too quick to call this a potential selloff day--early morning down whooshs tend to give way to bargain hunting, so being in good stocks works as usual.

I am extremely fortunate to have BAC, KOG, and VMW all working today.

I think MS will tell a better story than GS even. If I didn't already have the financial exposure, I'd definitely be in MS.
