About market, despite CSCO horrible guidance even Nasdaq closed green & made a new 13 year high, this speaks about the strength of this bull market which is extremely rare. This TAPE has ignored just about everything which could trigger a sell off. We are all set to close on a strong note on Friday, option expiry is going to trigger more buying & force shorts to reconsider their negativity or thesis. As i have said repeatedly, any weakness in strong stocks was / is a buying opportunity.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

Sold SODA @ 55.611. Even though I am optimstic for next earnings, the stock has serious technical damage to work against in combination with the year-end effect that might cause portfolio managers to sell/avoid the stock.

Bought TXTR @ 32.543. I'm re-entering this name after a long break, and get to buy it cheaper as well. Yesterday they announced the acquisition of a mobile play in their space and I think this adds to their growing suite of products. I'm not positive how their quarter will look exactly, but the long term trend is highly favorable.

Hi Stocktrader,

TXTR has been in a downtrend since their secondary...hopefully it has found support....

Good move in selling SODA.

Hey Saleem,

Sold KRE @ 38.20.

Bought RALY @ 25.659.

RALY didn't preannounce when they gave their earnings date yesterday (not unexpected, but nice to confirm) and I think the market is warming back up to these long term stories after ignoring them for quite a while.

Hey Saleem,

Thanks. Now the only question is when/if to get back into CSOD. I probably have time to wait for better technicals there.

The ZU IPO is interesting. I might try to pick it up if it gets a little lower. I have a small speculative position size available.

Hey Saleem,

Great trade on MU! FNSR is a tricky one, but at least it has factored in a lot of the CSCO mess.

Sold CSIQ @ 31.742. It seems these solar stocks are getting tired after an extreme run recently.

Hi Stocktrader,

Booking profit in CSIQ was good$$$$

YES....FNSR should have discounted most of CSCO impact by now.....

Hi Stocktrader,

Sold JKS @ $29.36......

They report before open on Monday...

Hey Saleem,

Wow, nice call! Huge profits and not risking the event!

Sold WUBA @ 34.35 and YY @ 53.75. It just feels like this group is overheated and vulnerable to headline risk. I'm not sure what to think, so I'm just selling at a high for now.
