Hey Saleem,

I've been chasing YELP down the last half hour trying to get a good sell price.

I think the risk/reward is shifted against the company since the consensus is completely thinking this quarter will be great given their very nice last quarter and FB's outstanding earnings. I don't think there's much short interest at all.

I will get out no matter what price by close.

Hey Saleem,

Sold YELP @ 74.97.

Just my luck it'll report the greatest quarter of all time now.

Hey Saleem,

I wonder if SODA is a buy down 20% here based on the KO/GMCR partnership/stake purchase. Surely PEP needs a partner now?

Hi Stocktrader,

SODA fundamental is challenged big time.......not an idea to make money.....because GMCR is getting in their business?

Hey Saleem,

Agreed. I bought some in my trading account at 31.10 but already sold it (31.83). Although PEP might come in, they might also not, so it's really a gamble.

Hey Saleem,

Add another earnings miscue to my quarter...YELP looking great. I've been watching the after hours action the whole time--it must be the slowest action ever for a YELP earnings report but keeps crawling higher.

Hi Stocktrader,

Hey Saleem,

If GMCR can tack on $7B in market cap from a 10% share purchase from KO, I think SODA does really look interesting at $750M total with a cold line fully developed and in distribution for years. I can't wait to see what the 55% short float in SODA decides to do tomorrow--GMCR up 55%+ is an eye-opener.

Hey Saleem,

Yes, we are all feeling it. It has been tough this earnings season. At least AAL did well and has continued.

Hi Stocktrader,

18% slump in 2 stocks in 1 day is extremely discouraging.....?

I do not recall ever having a hit like this in all my trading years????

Good luck with SODA......

Hey Saleem,

I decided to buy some SODA shares in my trading account again (avg 32.60) and will be holding those overnight. I think the sentiment could fully shift to positive even before the market opens, especially when it trades in Israel also.

Sorry I'm talking about this so much, but I think it's a fascinating speculation right now given the absolutely insane action in GMCR.
