About market, TAPE finally made it in the green @ close. Many stocks continue to make all time highs. This TAPE has rewarded strong stocks with institutional backing. Market has given higher & higher multiples to winners. Keep that strategy when looking @ next buys.
BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,
ReplyDeleteA couple of stocks I regret selling: CLDX and KOG. It is symptomatic of the market though--some stocks just keep climbing higher as there are seemingly few sellers and any incremental buying just drives them up.
In this light, I wonder if I should rebuy SPLK. The story is amazing and the chart looks like it could be setting up for a breakout. It is expensive, but stories seem to trump valuation right now (for somewhat good reasons if people are looking past the short term). Any thoughts on SPLK?
Stocktrader
Hey Saleem,
ReplyDeleteI decided to go for it: bought SPLK @ 61.98. I can always sell it, right? :)
Stocktrader
Hey Saleem,
ReplyDeleteI did sell SPLK last Friday @ 62.95. Not that it should matter, but it feels a little better that I could actually buy one back lower instead of the rocket ships like CLDX.

Hey Saleem,
ReplyDeleteGood luck with MU! I like swaps to keep the portfolio fresh.

Hey Saleem,
ReplyDeleteLast night I was thinking about which stocks I could buy instead of having the TNA, which is somewhat out of character for me (I'm a stock picker at heart!). I think I've almost convinced myself to add to CSOD and/or RALY, even with their large weightings already. I think they are still relatively undiscovered and undervalued (104k and 16k shares traded respectively today).

Hi Stocktrader,

Hey Saleem,
