About market, TAPE was struggling between red & green but by close gently landed in green. TAPE is marking time before decidedly moving higher. Nasdaq made another new 14 year high intraday. Janet Yellen testimony in front of Senate Banking committee may give more reason for traders to stay bullish.

Hey Saleem,

Some amazing earnings came out of SB last night. When I get back this morning, I'll try to swap some AGU for SB if I can get it around $11.

Hey Saleem,

Swapped half my AGU @ 91.37 for SB @ 10.585.

I had an order to sell AGU @ 92.13 while I was briefly gone this morning but it just missed...

Hey Saleem,

I listened to most of WDAY's conference call last night. They are really developing well as a comprehensive HR and more solution for companies.

Even though CSOD is much more "nichy" in HCM, I can't help but see them as still undervalued and a good fit as an acquisition for many players looking to expand their HR/HCM product line. WDAY is currently really not competing against CSOD (only recently one product overlap from what I could see), but will eventually have to expand its line into CSOD's area. They could also accomplish that by buying CSOD, but ultimately, I find it hard to think CSOD stands alone in the end. I think that's why institutions have a bit of trouble embracing the name--the end-game for CSOD is a bit uncertain.

Hi Stocktrader,

You have a good thing going with CSOD and making new Highs repeatedly.

Hey Saleem,

Sold YELP @ 98.612.

I think the stock needs to rest for a while, and I don't feel like a takeover is coming. It would be too limited by getting bought by a company with a singular objective. Without the fear of missing out on that takeover premium, I can feel ok by selling after a nice profit and seeing what happens next.

Hi Stocktrader,

Always good to book profit & on to the next profitable idea.

Hey Saleem,

I just realized we have end-of-month markups going on with many stocks right now...another reason to sell YELP here (albeit maybe too early now that I realize) because it could deflate a bit come March. I think NOW might be seeing those same kind of flows.

My favorite stocks now/for March are solars and shippers. I think we'll see favorable announcements and earnings from the solars and the $BDI is starting to ramp up again for the shippers.

Hey Saleem,

Sold NOW @ 71.413.

I'll admit, I'm a bit nervous to sell some of these, but I'm trying to raise cash and take profits in those companies that have run a lot.

Hey Saleem,

With SPLK and CRM after the bell, representing the last of the earnings reports in the sector, I just wonder if that will be the end of the cloud software move for now as we run out of catalysts for a while?

Hi Stocktrader,

YES..from March it may be a struggle for indices until June......

Good moves today YELP & NOW....
