Hey Saleem,
ReplyDeleteIf these are the job numbers when "no one" wants to hire ahead of the fiscal cliff, our post-fiscal-cliff-resolution job numbers are going to be unbelievable...
Looks good today! :)

Hi Stocktrader,
ReplyDeleteADP & real jobs report "generally do not match"......
Saleem
Hey Saleem,
ReplyDeleteYes, I realize that, but I trust the ADP data more because it's a function of their actual customers versus the Labor Dept which surveys businesses and has had major revisions recently. Even if the market doesn't see it that way, I think true implications for the economy lie with ADP.

Hi Stocktrader,
ReplyDeleteUS economy has been on the mend for about six months now.......things will improve further...its the elastic effect...you cannot compress things for too long..it snaps back...

Hi C,
ReplyDeleteYou are an APPL trader..you have better feel than those who do not trade AAPL.....
Up also has half position in AAPL..that must mean "good things to come"

Hi C,
ReplyDeleteTrade always means..you book profit ASAP....you never know about next day?
Saleem
Hey Saleem,
ReplyDeleteYes I saw that WPRT coverage--two buys in two days :).
I am desperately trying to find a way into PANW right now. I can't find a single stock to sell...I love them all!
Stocktrader
Hi Stocktrader,
ReplyDeletePANW news flow is very good...maybe trim position in three of your stocks & buy PANW.

ReplyDeleteEveryone is looking closely on head and shoulder formation on AAPL, so keep position small. I don't really have much confident on AAPL because it breach a lot of support during this 50 points drop. And we all know support become resistance.
Hey Saleem,
ReplyDeleteOk, so I finally ended up selling ELOQ at ~20.52 to free up some cash as the volume has dried up there, so I think it needs to take a rest. Unforunately, PANW is another $1 higher now! I'll still look for an entry though.
Stocktrader
Hi Stocktrader,
ReplyDeleteISM caused a move UP in most stocks..but PANW may move further today.....
Saleem
Hey Saleem,
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm just impatient--bought PANW at 63.73286. Given it looks like the 50 DMA is support now, the downside was very limited, so I just decided to participate now.
Stocktrader
Hi Stocktrader,
ReplyDeleteGood move on PANW..it jumps in nano-second.

ReplyDeleteI like todays action in DNKN

Hi C,
ReplyDeleteBIDU is the only dog......in my portfolio......
Saleem
Hey Saleem,
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame I had to sell ELOQ to get PANW. I would have preferred MNST or GWAY, but MNST is not available for sale until tomorrow and GWAY was already down a lot this morning and I didn't want to sell low. Hopefully I'll still get that pullback on ELOQ--it has to happen at some point, right?

Hi C,
ReplyDeleteGood move in booking profit....
Saleem
Hey Saleem,
ReplyDeleteGreat move on LEN! I was looking at it the last couple days as a good buy entry. If I didn't have GGC and Z already, I likely would have.
Stocktrader
Hi Stocktrader,
ReplyDeleteWe both have few stocks doing better than market.....
