About market, there is one technician who believes that Thursday the 18th of July IS the day to sell stocks as we seasonally enter corrective phase. I think many sectors & stocks escape negative TAPE as they are seasonally strong in summer months.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

Right now I feel underexposed to this market with my ~20% cash, and regret not being more exposed to financials during this earnings season. It's so hard to buy when they are up this much, but I think the market meltup will continue here. Also, missing opportunities like YHOO weigh on me. I've done a lot of second guessing recently.

Hi Stocktrader,

Many stocks have done well recently...but there are other opportunities also.

Entering strong stocks is a good idea.

Hey Saleem,

Yeah, as I read more, it seemed like EBAY could be dead money for a while.

Argh on WLT. I was going to buy back this morning and hesitated. Now it is trickier...

Hey Saleem,

Rebought WLT @ 13.0368. Increased economic activity could really propel this stock?

Hey Saleem,

Bought OMED @ 28.10. As you know, I've been targeting this one all week.

Hi Stocktrader,

You are a brave man with IPO....

Good luck with OMED.

Hey Saleem,

Yes, this seems a bit of a stretch, but I'm going off the price action of the other recent biotech IPO of EPZM. I ignored that one unfortunately, but I hope to see this one in the 30s soon.

Hi Stocktrader,

Sold KOG @ $9.18....

Hey Saleem,

KOG is trading very strangely since I've owned it. I don't blame you for taking the profits.

SNDK has an interesting bounce today into the NASDAQ weakness--I think it's one to watch.

Buys today of WLT and OMED looking good--still have two positions of cash available. I'm kind of hoping RALY shows weakness on the secondary at some point.

Hi Stocktrader,

KOG is a very good trade.

YES..your OMED & WLT is flying.
