Hey Saleem,
Listened to most/all of the MDSO conference call. Business momentum remains strong. They are getting major interest from larger pharma companies as compared to the past ("at-bats" and more they said). Price reaction is stronger than I expected, but it has sold off some recently and there's really nothing stopping the story for now.
TCK conference call is starting now, but the presentation slides were already available. You can see from those slides that TCK's execution is great, their costs are low compared to many peers, and they have identified even more areas of savings. Combined with the shareholder cash returns in the form of dividends and buybacks, and these guys look really good.

Hey Saleem,
Bought TRLA @ 37.35. Mobile user and monetization should be strong and the stock is resting right near all-time highs.

Hi stocktrader,
Good luck with TRLA....

Hey Saleem,
Seeing what I did out of TCK today, I decided to sell CLF ahead of their report tonight. Even though they have focused on cost cutting also, the pricing of iron ore in the quarter leaves them more vulnerable to very poor results, taken/planned drastic actions, and/or lagged pricing effects.
It is possible all is fine, but I think now the risk/reward is not as favorable as I thought. I will re-evaluate after their report and call.
