About market, TAPE was subjected to selling pressure. We are experiencing a "technical breakdown" in majority of high beta stocks which does not bode well for Nasdaq. Carter Worth is predicting a 13% correction in Nasdaq, his target is 3800 for Nasdaq. Sometimes we go through a major shift in market & this may be one of those situation. Do not be euphoric by a snapback which may happen on Tuesday, this is a normal TAPE action on its way to lower close in the week.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

Good luck with the additional LULU. Expectations are quite low going into earnings.

It helps that we are 2 hours time difference from our usual. I can do some stock stuff in the morning while everyone is still sleeping.

Hi Stocktrader,

Good luck with Additional DATA.

Hey Saleem,

DATA is probably my #1 pick in the software space after these large declines. Their Q4 was unbelievable and their momentum should continue as I think their products are perfectly positioned in this environment. The secondary they just very recently did is probably weighing extra on the stock creating a larger downside move than should be expected even as their peers declined also.

Hi Stocktrader,

When sentiment turns positive for high beta stocks DATA will do well.

Hey Saleem,

I have one batch of cash left. I put an order to buy SPLK @ 72.07 and have to leave for the day. Hopefully these high fliers bottom today--they are so oversold.
