Hey Saleem,

My portfolio is as follows:

APWC - 2.3%
TVIX - 1.3%
(cash) - 96.4%

The market had a great comeback from the lows. I was a genius for about a half hour--haha.

I am interested to see what happens Monday based on China's action/inaction. Also, brewing sovereign debt troubles are nagging at Spain again. As you rightly pointed out, the US is the only strong economy in the world. Let's keep it going!

Have a great weekend! :)

Hi C,

I just checked SDRL.....looks like a good company in drilling business.

Do you know why there was a pullback from $42 to $36?

Looks to me that the down grades killed the action:

HSBC cuts Seadrill to neutral from overweight
$35 or $32 next???
I could find no NEGATIVE news that killed the price
However, it did pop from $30 to $42 form December till March 2 (or so) so it move to high to fast and now has settled down--IMHO

All thoughts comments appreciated

Here is an interesting Post on message board:
Most of it was due to the Quarter miss. After that happened it did not help that the primary stockholder sold a bunch of shares. This triggered some "analysts" to become ANAL and they lowered their target price. The company is sound. A little DD and research will indicate as such. In my case I am buying! Have added 500 shares to my position. Strong dividend!
A payback each Quarter of .80+ will lessen the impact of the 7% loss this past month....Good Luck!

Hi C,

Thanks for your research on SDRL.

I know you are a dividend focus trader.
