Hey Saleem,

Swapped TRLA @ 43.50 for AMAT @ 15.35. AMAT reports after the bell and I think we're in the very early innings of a chip equipment order cycle. Maybe a bit of a gamble, but TRLA was very weak in a decently strong homebuilding tape today.

Hey Saleem,

Well...that didn't quite work--reported results and guidance below expectations. I'm not sure the catalyst for a buy-on-the-dip here, but maybe the conference call will shed some light.

Hey Saleem,

With both stocks and bonds down today (yields up), gold may be looking like an attractive asset for many looking to deploy that cash. We might see an outsized move in coming days.

Hi Stocktrader,

AMAT is down less than 3%......

LRCX is a better one in that sector.

It is amazing that on a day like today..i ended positive......maybe the jinx is broken????
