Hey Saleem,

Added to FB @ 41.46. I really wanted to add more long exposure, but couldn't find a stock I liked. I decided this was my chance to really overweight FB as it is my easiest long right now.

Hey Saleem,

Bought LRCX @ 47.21 in expectation of a semi equipment upgrade cycle next year.

(This is on your recommendation as opposed to AMAT, and my research showed LRCX seems better also.)

Hi Stocktrader,

Perfect timing on LRCX...just coming off major support.

Good luck with outperforming FB....

Hey Saleem,

PSUN's conference call was pretty good despite the "poor" guidance. There might be some confusion regarding a 53rd week retail calendar shift this year which is impacting Q3 guidance to the tune of $13M and $0.06 which if you include back would be a guide up on revs and inline guide on EPS. Based on the CEO's comments, they seem to be gaining traction in their latest fashions, and almost all the analysts commented on how great a quarter they had.

As for this overnight, I have a hunch those decimated emerging markets will do well. It just seems like the fever broke a bit on the fear today.

Finally, I hope I get a chance to listen to a replay of SPLK's call. I wish I had bought some, but again, I'm still afraid to go all-in on some things. I might add to CSOD tomorrow.

Hi Stocktrader,

Thanks for your recap of PSUN.

CSOD chart is showing a good entry.
