About market, TAPE was digesting yesterday's gains. I expect TAPE to continue to show its strength in near term. 1750 in S&P 500 is doable in this run. It is smart to continue booking gains & rotate into lower RSI stocks.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

Sold SPLK @ 62.95 to take profits. It is *very* expensive at these levels, but certainly could keep moving higher. I think the very high P/S leaves it vulnerable to a pullback at some point so I picked this opportunity to sell after the nice run post-earnings I got from it.

Hi Stocktrader,

Good move in booking profit from SPLK.

Hey Saleem,

I'll tell you what though. I'm feeling very uncomfortable having any cash. I don't know if that's a contrarian good thing with everyone "all in"? or if it means I need to redeploy quickly because the market will keep grinding higher?

Hi Stocktrader,

I suggest putting cash to work in many stocks which are performing well......

This TAPE has the "feel" of best market i have EVER seen.....

My 2 cents!!!!

Hey Saleem,

Sold ARUN @ 17.802 avg.

I realized yesterday as it fell that I really don't have an edge on the stock, and it doesn't have a "pure enough" chart to warrant a position given all the other stocks I follow. I'll keep following it and maybe I'll understand the company better in future quarters.

Hey Saleem,

Of course it shoots straight up as soon as I sell...the dangers of owning a stock you don't know--it could easily have gone the other direction, but bottom line, you don't know enough to make informed decisions.

ARUN is trying to build a base.....it may move near earning report time...analyst are warming up towards ARUN....

Hey Saleem,

I should have bought more TXTR this morning after the secondary priced. I've become more comfortable with the valuation given the lack of competition, huge market opportunity, and positive economic backdrop.

It would not surprise me to see this stock never look back from these levels--there's just no other way for institutional investors to play the space, and the gobbling up of the 4.6M+ secondary just days after the official launch shows the appetite.

Hi Stocktrader,

TAPE action is very impressive on TXTR ...huge volume & 7%+ UP move.

Hey Saleem,

I took my lumps and bought more @ 41.75. Since I think an approach on $50 is likely, I didn't see a need to fuss over $0.50-$1.

Hi Stocktrader,

Good move to add in TXTR....

Hey Saleem,

Added to RALY @ 31.12 based on nice valuation, great/accelerating business momentum, and takeover possibilities.

Hi Stocktrader,

Hey Saleem,

Trimmed a little FB @ 46.97. I think it's up on the rebalance and the risk/reward is slightly shifting.

Stocktrader

stocktrader_1996 said...

Hey Saleem,

Wow, I didn't expect that extended of a spike, but still happy with the trim after such a good run.

I'll be taking the opportunity to look at a lot of stocks and positioning over the weekend.

Hi Stocktrader,

FB has been amazing.....

Good luck with your analysis over the weekend.

Hey Saleem,

I trimmed FB by 1/4 to make it an even 10% of the portfolio so nothing huge. It only barely trails CSOD in position size now.

Hi Stocktrader,

Rebalancing is a nice problem to have.....all due to your research, conviction & proper weighting....
