PS...Chinese data came in as expected or better, Q3 GDP @ 7.4%, Industrial output 9.2%, Retail sales 14.2%......

As I said before! Labor numbers are manipulated>>>>

NOT ANY BETTER
The Labor Department reported weekly jobless claims rose to 388,000 last week from 342,000. Economists expected claims to rise to 365,000 from an initially-reported 339,000. The four-week average of claims, which helps smooth volatility, rose to 365,500 from 364,750.

there I said it, so kill me please

Hi C,

Four week average is a "real number"

I only worry about things i control...

Hey Saleem,

I think CMG is a buy on the dip after earnings. The "competition" from Taco Bell is fictitious and even though CMG's Q3 might show decelerating growth due to people trying Taco Bell, I think Q4 numbers will be much better. If there is a dip, valuation should be much more compelling. I contend that possibly valuation is good here, but a dip would be great.

Hi Stocktrader,

CMG is a great buy here in $286 area....as it has been beaten down for a month....$277 is a major support going back almost a year...

Even IF CMG drops AH...it MAY rebound above current levels.....pessimism is too deep.....a great CONTRARY indicator.

Hey Saleem,

As I don't have the chance to after hours trade, I might pick up a half position in CMG today. I'm not sure yet, and I don't know what I'd sell, but I've actually been eyeing this trade for a while--ever since David Einhorn made the short case at that conference and I disagreed with many of his premises.

Saleem,

What do you think about CLF? It has been strong lately. It has been up $5 in three days.

Started a position in VMW at 86.5.
