About market, Indices are struggling near resistance thanks to our politicians. Friday is Option Expiry thus volatility may increase. I may wait till Monday to add to my portfolio unless price is very right. I am keeping a close eye on stocks RSI for my sell & buy decision. Some stocks are getting stronger & may be bought for quick trade.
BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,
ReplyDeleteThe SPLK conference call was really positive. It certainly seems like their high growth rate should be maintained for a while based on high adoption of new products both at new and existing customers. Additionally, I think the traction they are gaining in the marketplace makes them a better takeover candidate than before. I think the high-profile shorts have this one wrong for now...

Hi Stocktrader,
ReplyDeleteShorts are right 50% of the time, but when they are right they make up for all losses.
SPLK cc is a better reflection of its business trend as they have to answer all the analysts question.
Good luck !!!

Hey Saleem,
ReplyDeleteI trimmed a little APKT at 19.90 to buy some SPLK at 30.15. Based on the conference call and the nice intraday reversal, I want more exposure to SPLK. The APKT chart is a little daunting so I unwound the overweight.

Hey Saleem,
ReplyDeleteTCK looks great! The chart is really looking strong and I think China may add some stimulus soon. As for LEN, I'm not so sure based on chart and valuation, but you've had such great timing on it before that I wouldn't dare question that!
Stocktrader
Hi Stocktrader,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your thumbs UP on TCK & thumbs DOWN on LEN......
I had positive trade with these two ...
Lets see how it goes this time.....
