Hey Saleem,

Sold CLF at $36.94114 before I left this morning. Both CLF and WLT gave some guidance for Q4 and CLF wrote down enough assets that it impacted book value more than I liked. Also, I am less constructive on iron ore than metallurgical/coking coal.

This also gives me the buying power to pick up CRUS at close before their earnings. I think that is my likely plan for now.

Hi Stocktrader,

CRUS has been beaten down enough...that there is a very good chance of rally..irrespective of their result.....

Good luck with your strategy.

Hey Saleem,

Sold SPLK at 33.15292 after it seems a little tired. I almost sold yesterday for the same reason, and the lack of response to the upgrade today cinches it for me.

I think partly it is due to lack of followup in the IBM buyout and concerns about competition.

It appears I set the low for the day though and maybe got spooked on that fast dip. (I'm always worried a competitor or make a strategic purchase that hurts SPLK's future value...)

Hey Saleem,

Sold WLT @ 39.65--also think it needs a rest.

It wasn't really my plan to sell off some things today, but maybe this 1500 level represents a good opportunity to do so.

Hi Stocktrader,

Alway's listen to voice from inside..it tells you to do things which will bring peace of mind.

Yes 1500 is something to think about.
