    Hey Saleem,

    Wow! I just looked at a 6-month chart of APKT--the downtrend is unbelievably perfect. Good luck to us--we both own it now! :)

    Hi Stocktrader,

    Hopefully, it does not go below $30.04.....then it is a breakdown....

    Hey Saleem,

    I agree our risk/reward is favorable right now being right above a breakdown point. I would love to see this establish the uptrend again--it really could run a while if that happens.

    Hi Stocktrader,

    APKT TAPE was the-best yesterday & has not given all of its gain from yesterday......

    Today is an over-reaction to ORCL laundry list from ER.....

    Hey Saleem,

    How broken do you think VMW is now? I'm trying to think about exit strategy...

    Hey Saleem,

    The reaction in some of the tech stocks really surprises me. I mean who was selling RVBD down 10+% at one point?

    Hi Stocktrader,

    VMW is below previous support of $77 area...plus volume is heavy..which means more downside risk...looks like $71 is next support.....

    Hey Saleem,

    Yes, the technical picture is rough unless we can hold $77 by tomorrow. I am struggling to determine whether the long-term cloud story is too competitive to support VMW's valuation, or if it is big enough to support most players as so much more cloud adoption is ahead?

    So much for that $110 PT on Monday that got me interested--highly disappointed in this investment I've owned for only two days (and therefore can finally sell tomorrow--too late!).

    Other than VMW, AKPT, and RVBD, I am pleased with the other perfomances in my portfolio. I guess we'll see what happens with these three laggards.

    Hi Stocktrader,

    As you have day @ hand to evaluate VMW technical & fundamental picture...you will have more info @ hand.

    I personally go with TAPE alongwith improving fundamentals....

    Hey Saleem,

    Sold off my last position in EA today--so much for a good idea...price action is horrible. Added to WWWW and GLNG with the proceeds.
