AH Futures UP

AH Asian Markets UP

AH Oil & Gold UP

About market, we closed near lows of the day, market chart for the day looks horrible. Hopefully, inner strength of market as reflected in internals & new highs will show in Indices. Booking profit is a priority with me as indices are not acting well. Once indices are stable then one can let the profit run.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

Super hot IPO in WDAY coming public today. I might try to free up a half position and get some if the price is right. They are the new tech leader in human capital management cloud software for enterprises. Although ORCL has recently attempted to bolster its offering in this category, WDAY is still the leader in this niche and has substantial room to grow still.

Hi Stocktrader,

IPO is a very risky trade most of the times especially on opening day....

Good luck in your strategy.

Hey Saleem,

I just heard it was going to open above $40, which is too rich for me. I was thinking around $33... It is probably better this way anyways :).

Hey Saleem,

Yes, amazing day for WDAY!

I'm hoping some of my other new tech plays get positive sentiment from the WDAY success even if WDAY is too expensive for me now.

Hey Saleem,

Three different positive analyst notes for LNKD and it's down 2%? I'm confused. Hopefully we see better action by close but the beta trade seems weak in a lot of places again today...

Hey Saleem,

Nice on PANW! It definitely looks resilient today.

Hi Stocktrader,

Sorry ..i meant LNKD highlighted by IBD in its market wrap..

Hey Saleem,

Oh! :)

If it closes back over $113, I'll be very pleased with the technical action. Of course I liked the analyst commentary today regardless.

Hi Stocktrader,

Only reason i don't buy LNKD is ..only 50% margin in TD Waterhouse in Canada....

It is a very good buy NOW.....

Hey Saleem,

Ah...

It is unfortunate to be constrained by non-company factors. I have those also as you know. You would think they'd try and make this easier for the little guys!

About market, selling exhausted yet?? It seems like we are stabilizing finally--maybe a precursor to a move up? This has been a tough week for beta.
