Hey Saleem,

Bought some SPLK at $31.2343. I've liked the name but was worried about the quarter. The price action compelled me to get in now though and hopefully I didn't chase too badly and still have some upside--I think it looks ok.

Hi Stocktrader,

Good luck with SPLK.....in an uptrending stock...you never know how high it can & will go.

Hey Saleem,

I should add that some of the comments made over the weekend by the SAP CEO about acquisitions makes me think some of the gain today is related to that. It would not surprise me to see SPLK or peers get bought by the heavyweights (SAP, ORCL, IBM, etc).

Hi Stocktrader,

There is higher chance that software companies are in play....include OTEX in that list of takeover.

Hey Saleem,

OTEX bounced nicely above after testing below the 200 DMA today. It definitely looks good here! :)
