About market, TAPE was neutral after a huge run, any weakness is a a good trading opportunity. TAPE has changed from buy & hold to a "swing trading format"...which is not a bad thing. Former leaders like Airlines & Solar stocks are stalling. We may have entered a dull period in market where movement may be limited on both UP & DOWN days.......

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

Lots of interesting things on the Z conference call despite the flattening housing market, including expansion into rentals and mortgages which increases the total opportunity greatly.

I might be looking to buy Z or TRLA on a dip, especially as they have rested for 6+ months on the chart.

Hey Saleem,

My current "top" prospects are DATA and PFPT if you are looking for ideas (DATA already up $2.50 today so more problematic to add).

Hey Saleem,

Sold POT @ 33.54 to take profits and reduce my fertilizer exposure (since I have MOS and AGU also).

The sweet spot for fertilizer right now is phosphates, and MOS has both that and also a number of stock-specific catalysts.

AGU is more diversified and cheaper than POT.

Hey Saleem,

Sold QUNR @ 26.15.

CTRP reported last night and results were good but, in listening to the conference call, the competition is extremely fierce right now and coupons for customers are smashing margins. I'm uncomfortable with the QUNR position now because I'm not sure how this will shake out despite massive top line growth. I'll stick with companies where I have better visibility.

Hi Stocktrader,

Good luck with YELP..a winner ....

Good move in selling QUNR & POT....

YES..MOS & AGU are much better because of diversified portfolio in their business.
