Hey Saleem,

Sold TRLA @ 45.76 to take profits. Also worried about competitive aspects and housing weakness.

Hey Saleem,

Good luck with the new picks. I definitely messed up the TRLA sell. That stock is really crazy--huge intraday moves often.

Hi Stocktrader,

Did you notice that DAL has gone crazy???

Saleem

Hey Saleem,

Yes. It got added to the S&P 500 yesterday so there were tremendous flows in recent days. I think today's performance is fantastic given the usual addition "hangover".

Hey Saleem,

I'm really tempted by WLK today, but I feel like patience will present a different or better opportunity in coming days.

Hi Stocktrader,

WLK down sharply on heavy volume?

Saleem

Hey Saleem,

Yes, it got downgraded today along with AXLL:

JPMorgan downgraded Westlake Chemical to Neutral from Overweight citing valuation and unfavorable commodity trends. The firm keeps a $114 price target for shares.

I'm not that tempted--just seems like a good short term buy on the 50 DMA test and hold.

Hey Saleem,

Sold HLF @ 66.06. I'm tired of watching it bounce around based on who is buying or selling. Also, if it does turn out some of the accounting concerns are legitimate, it could drop 40% in a blink whereas I'm not sure how much short term upside is left based on valuation.

I need to take this ticker of my screen. I keep buying for a trade trying to convince myself it's an investment, and that never sticks. I'm glad to make the money I did here, and am similarly glad to be out of it.
