About market, Fed minutes was bad enough but after hour Chinese Flash PMI came in @ 48.3% in Feb vs 49.5 in January, this is 7 month low. Strength of this TAPE will be tested after open, as long as we do not close @ low this is not a bull deal breaker.

Hey Saleem,

The FB acquisition really had my attention in after hours. $19B total for a company I honestly had barely heard of...I'll probably buy back YELP in the morning if I can get a good price.

Hi Djovanny,

Shorting is extremely dangerous in momentum names....they are propped UP by billionaires......

Hey Saleem,

Bought YELP @ 91.34 while gone this morning. I apparently jumped a little early, but I didn't want to miss it while I was briefly gone. I just put in an order for $92 and got the lower fill when the stock opened.
