About market, S&P 500 closed @ the highest level in history, Nasdaq closed @ highest level in 14 years. We may get month end buying follow through on Friday. I am expecting a "tough March"......RSI may not get to 70 this time & was not impressed with new 52 wk high list for today. It is important to keep an eye on your winners & take advantage of higher prices by booking gains, you can buy them back in April. Sectors which may do well in March needs to be monitored closely. It is OK to have your own hunch but TAPE will decide on winners for March.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

I'm not sure if you caught my comment on yesterday's afternoon post (didn't realize you had made the KOG post already), but it doesn't look like I'll get my SPLK chance today.

In general, all these cloud companies need to rest. Whether they will or not, I'm not sure, but I feel pretty foolish having sold any of the leaders and missing the big pops and hoping for the crumbs afterwards. It seems I tell the right amazing stories, but always find a reason to be out.

Hey Saleem,

An interesting summary of analysts I just read:

9:12 EST - Splunk's (SPLK) strong F4Q revenue beat and solid view for the new year leaves FBR to say "this party is just getting started" for the data- software company. As it continues to boost its salesforce, that should better help SPLK generate further demand from businesses, the investment bank adds as it hikes its price target 20% to $120 . Meanwhile, fellow bull Cowen posits, " Splunk is the industry standard for machine data. Period." And though Jefferies says, "The company remains one of the best-positioned companies in software," SPLK's valuation is "the only debate." Shares rise 5.7% premarket to $100.96 after having already surged 24% this month to fresh highs. (kevin.kingsbury@ wsj.com)

I pretty much wrote the same thing last night.

Hi Stocktrader,

Your research is impeccable....sometimes too much knowledge about market gets in the way of making long term bets...

We all live & learn to be patient with our ideas.

Good luck with your potential re-entry in SPLK....

Hey Saleem,

I totally messed up which dry shipper to buy. I didn't look carefully enough to notice SB had some special items to impact its earnings report...ugh...

I think JKS/TSL are beneficiaries of that fire at CSIQ's plant. I haven't looked, but it might also be raising module prices some?

Stocktrader

Stocks100 said...

Hi Stocktrader,

YES..i agree that TSL / JKS will benefit from any slowdown @ CSIQ...

Good luck on earning for JKS on Monday before open.....

Hey Saleem,

Where did you find the info about JKS reporting Monday morning? I couldn't find anything in that regard.

Stocktrader

Stocks100 said...

Hi Stocktrader,

I always write earning date after company gives earning release date.....

This should be under news from JKS...

Saleem

stocktrader_1996 said...

Hey Saleem,

Oh my, I completely missed that press release. Thanks for the heads up.

Stocktrader

stocktrader_1996 said...

Hey Saleem,

It will be an unusual Monday morning for me then--both JKS and CLDX report before the bell.

Stocktrader

Stocks100 said...

Hi Stocktrader,

CLDX chart is very impressive & JKS has moved UP decidedly from 50 DMA...

I am sure you will have a fine Monday......

Saleem

stocktrader_1996 said...

Hey Saleem,

I am very confident about JKS--I think the analysts are severely underestimating earnings power (of course who knows what the stock reaction will be).

As for CLDX, it is less certain, but they have a nice early stage pipeline that I hope will keep them going for a while.

Hi Stocktrader,

First is JKS then TSL then CSIQ..all back to back.....

I am out based on reaction from SPWR/FSLR on day one.....want to see how Chinese reaction will be after results are announced......

Saleem

stocktrader_1996 said...

Hey Saleem,

Well...I may not have sold enough of the high fliers! They are really getting crushed today. I am still fine with the ones I kept though--they each are prime takeover candidates (DATA PFPT CSOD RALY).

Hi Stocktrader,

When big guns get slammed after good earnings...then its time to rethink exposure & picks......

PFPT is bucking the trend.....

Hi Stocktrader,

Sold ZNGA $5.03

Saleem

stocktrader_1996 said...

Hey Saleem,

A great trade you made overall there :).

Stocktrader

Stocks100 said...

Hi Stocktrader,

Thanks for your note re ZNGA....

In $4.50 out @ $5.03....

Saleem

stocktrader_1996 said...

Hey Saleem,

I should have bought some WUBA on this overall market selloff. Those numbers were great and deserves probably a bigger move higher. At least I'll be able to research further--hopefully I don't miss a gap higher.

Hi Stocktrader,

Bought TSL in closing second @ $16.03.....

Saleem

stocktrader_1996 said...

Hey Saleem,

Well hopefully JKS blows off the doors and then TSL can follow up with the same! :)

Hi Stocktrader,

I hope you are right about JKS & TSL upcoming earnings....

Good luck !
