    Hey Saleem,

    Sold CLF at $68.00588 just now. I'm looking at buying some PFPT or just rebuying CLF later. The underperformance so far was troubling though.

    Hi Up,

    Thanks for your encouraging feedback.

    YES...stocks slumping after purchase is part of our living...hopefully other 5 stocks in my portfolio should offset some of the loss......

    These things are unavoidable for anyone who is in the market...everyday thousands of stocks go down..law of averages catches up all the time.

    Len is a good buy here!

    Was looking to make a quick trade in APPLE till I saw that the funds need to clear for 3 days--yeks no problem now I have 60 shares in my ira account and 50 in my cash account

    I am almost fully invested in Apple ; if goes to $500
    as some says ( I doubt it very much) I will gobble up some at that price. So I have some powder saved for that eventually.

    Hey Saleem,

    I'll express my condolences also on RVBD. It looks almost exactly like my PMTC just a couple weeks ago. You are a great stock mind and will make that up quickly I'm sure!

    P.S. Got a half position in PFPT @ $14.20.
