Hey Saleem,

It was quite a week for many stocks, both good and bad. I had enough of those bad (ZNGA, PFPT, CLF) to offset some very nice (APKT, CF, LEN) to the extent that I slightly underperformed this week. The portfolio stands as follows:

APKT - 10.0%
CF - 9.6%
DOW - 9.5%
MET - 8.5%
FCX - 8.4%
OCZ - 8.2%
LEN - 8.0%
CLF - 7.7%
PFPT - 7.7%
FXCM - 7.3%
PMTC - 6.9%
ZNGA - 5.6%
APWC - 2.3%
(cash) - 0.08%

I'm not particularly anxious to sell any of these off now, but depending on some earnings this week and/or potentially more runup, that could change.

The market is a strange creature currently, but is being driven by earnings, which is refreshing.

I love earnings season as it really shows the market leaders from laggards. I look to rotate into these leaders, and also look for emerging stories to add new companies to my watch list.

Have a great weekend! :)

Hi Stocktrader,

CF is doing exceptionally well for you. LEN & APKT are doing well also.

Next week should be strong.
