Hey Saleem,

I have my order in to buy YHOO at open. I was looking more at how the Alibaba stake affects the valuation, and you're getting YHOO ex-Alibaba extremely cheaply. I wish I would have done a little more of this work earlier and saved $2, but I think it could work up to $35-$40 with just the hope of core YHOO transformation.

Hey Saleem,

Bought BTU @ 16.44 with my last cash. With natural gas prices holding up, coal is looking more attractive. Additionally, the capex and operational cuts give these companies more earnings power and less worry about supply.

Hi Stocktrader,

What is your take on CLF earning report on Monday......

Good luck with BTU.....

Hey Saleem,

I believe they don't report until Thursday night, but operational discipline should be good with pricing soft. Iron ore prices are up nearly 25% in the last month, so the 2nd quarter reported could be the trough in earnings.

I'm looking for a strong positive reaction as long as they have costs and opex under control, which I expect.

Thanks for your analysis & confirming ER date.

Hey Saleem,

This commodity trade is really testing my patience, but I wonder if we'll see a little rotation out of tech into materials?

I don't have good familiarity with many industrial stocks which seem to be doing well also. I have much homework to do.

I've been watching some home building/remodeling stocks and liked CSTE one of the most. I think I waited too long...up 10% today.

Hi Stocktrader,

I am sure rotation out of tech will take hold after ER......

Gold is performing already......

Your CSTE is UP only 5% NOW.....
