About market, tonight we closed @ absolute low of the day with extremely negative internals. S&P 500 is now Down 117.52 points or 8.26%. Greece has been @ centre stage for 3 years & never seems too far away from spooking traders & markets. There was wholesale dumping of stocks today. Hopefully this discounting is done for the near term.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

Sold ZNGA 8.47 on open--too much non-pure ZNGA money in there right now for my comfort.

Hi Stocktrader,

Now you can deploy funds into something which can make money for you.

Hey Saleem,

Either that, or I might buy ZNGA back at 7.25 later? :)

Hey Saleem,

The lengthy ZNGA halt really caused unfortunate circumstances for me. I was trying to buy at $6.70 before and during that 50 minute halt. I had to finally leave after 35 minutes of it, and when I came back from my daily engagement it is 10% higher already. I can't understand what took 50 minutes to unhalt the stock for that circuit breaker? I know it's just a small thing overall, but it ruined my day some after working it so well earlier and setting up for a huge dip. At least if I had been there right after unhalt I could have chased it up since FB recovered.

I'm glad to see things looking overall better though.

Hi Stocktrader,

ZNGA is trading @ $7.18 ..low was $7.10....


Saleem

stocktrader_1996 said...

Hey Saleem,

It is still halted after the $7.80 print--that $7.18 is a faulty trade. I'm not sure what I'll do with it now--I guess I might be interested near $7.45, otherwise I might allocate elsewhere.

Hey Saleem,

Got half ZNGA back at 7.38. I will probably buy the rest back also and look more over the weekend at the overall portfolio.

Stocktrader

Stocks100 said...

Hi Stocktrader,

Good luck with ZNGA & your review of portfolio.

I have done some tinkering with my portfolio also....

Saleem

stocktrader_1996 said...

Hey Saleem,

I believe in online gaming as a long term theme hence my interest in ZNGA. Gaming is just as addictive as coffee, so I believe ZNGA's profits can continue to grow over time. The only question is whether ZNGA can create enough brand image to maintain its market share of the overall online gaming profits--that's the only question I have, but they've got a huge head start over anyone else.

I thought I'd share some of my insight as to why it seems I chase this stock around. I actually believe in the longer term story and feel the valuation is fairly cheap here given some of the other valuations in the space.

Hey Saleem,

Got the other half at 7.42 for a 7.40 average. Not a bad "savings" from the 8.47 where I sold earlier. I feel better now :).

Hi Stocktrader,

Good luck with ZNGA...it is all about due diligence.
