Hey Saleem,

Well...I hestitated on my OCZ plan to sell if it got back above $4 (which it did this morning), and now its at $3.47. I feel like this is Q-end dumping to get it off the books, but often that is followed by at least a little Q-beginning rise as any possible institutional seller is gone. Suggestions?

Hi Stocktrader,

I know it is very tough to book a loss on a stock in portfolio, but OCZ is dragging your portfolio down & is breaking down to new lows.....

My suggestion is same..move on to better behaving stocks.....

Hey Saleem,

I don't mind taking a loss--I just want a sell price that isn't distorted by Q-end issues. I'll probably keep holding a few days into the next quarter. It is a fairly small position at this point, so it can't hurt me much more...

Hey Saleem,

I think CRUS looks good here. They stole ADNC's business (as I well know) and had a great presence in the top smartphones anyways. Also, technically the chart looks like it rested long enough.

Hi Stocktrader,

It is a good idea looking @ CRUS...the only thing which brought it down was iPhone5 supply issue which may impact Q4...based on Gene Munster....
