About market, as expected volatility has increased based on low volume & vacation time. Syria, Fed Taper & Debt limit are additional factor in the mix. I do not expect volatility to calm down until week of September 9th. I expect Thursday & Friday to be more volatile due to long weekend & imminent military operation.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

Bought LCC @ 15.90. It seems like there's a greater chance the merger will happen, earnings power is good regardless, and oil looks ready to roll over after Syria calms down.

Hey Saleem,

Sold TZA @ 26.66. I think the market is oversold enough in price and sentiment to see possibly a strong rally today. I know this is "playing" the market a little, but I don't feel the need for the hedge today--everything seems good.

Hey Saleem,

I think the chance is increasingly likely that nothing happens in Syria. I think a lot of this rally is predicated on that, whether it comes true or not.

Hi Stocktrader,

Syria will get customary greeting of
Six cruise missile on the weekend..then they will kiss and be friends again..

Hi Stocktrader

Good luck with TRLA.

Hey Saleem,

Thanks!

Apparently I shouldn't have sold Z recently. I think it speaks to a greater market theme that some of these high fliers just kept on flying through this "correction". That tells me the market is not worried about underlying growth and that this is just a pause.

I was considering PSUN for a pre-earnings play tonight, but they just got a mention on CNBC and now it's harder to judge the risk/reward. I was also looking at SPLK and may do something there. Both companies report after the bell.

Hi Stocktrader,

SPLK has come down to very attractive level......

Hey Saleem,

I did try with PSUN @ 3.81. I've actually been watching it for over a week and was too scared to enter a couple days ago when it was much lower. At these prices, I don't think there's much downside even if my upside has been limited.

Hi Stocktrader,

Stockcharts has a target of $10.75 on PSUN......

Hey Saleem,

Sold OMED @ 16.702. It just isn't acting well after a biotech merger announcement and the market rebound...trimming those underperformers...

Hi Stocktrader,

Good idea to trim underperformer.
