Hey Saleem,

I managed to be up over 0.6% just based on the nice performances of my only two major stocks: RDN and MRIN. I was not surprised to see an up Monday as you often get some paycheck inflows, but many of my "usual" stocks like PANW, BSFT, AXLL, SPLK, and FDX were all down. I'm not sure what the market may do next, but having all those stocks down is still a warning sign for me or at a minimum, still a good idea that I sold last week.

Hi Stocktrader,

TAPE has become unpredictable for many stocks even when indices are UP...

Less exposure is better going forward.

Hey Saleem,

Sold RDN @ 11.11--took profits after a nice run and it being up today on no specific news.

(Haha, didn't see your new post until I went to preview mine--I see we're on the same page again!)

Hey Saleem,

Sold MRIN @ ~15.75. I'm sitting at zero exposure now except for the APWC long-term small holding.

Hi Stocktrader,

MRIN volume has dwindled....

It is good to relax after hectic year.
