About market,TAPE was extremely disappointing as it closed near low of the day on high volume, almost opposite TAPE action today. Looks like we may be heading to test support as we made a lower low today. Based on technicals 50 DMA may be the first support in S&P 500 which is @ 1828 area. It may be prudent to have some Gold & Silver exposure. Crimea vote is on Sunday & it looks like a done deal which may further prop up Gold.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

Swapped DRYS @ 3.56 for YELP @ 88.50.

The $BDI dropped big today and domestic high growth names could come back in favor as investors search for winners in a sluggish global environment. I realize there could be a total risk off scenario, but I think YELP's downside is limited to maybe 5% from here while upside is 10-15%.

Good strategy in switching to YELP...it is showing relative strength.....

Hey Saleem,

Trimmed some BAC @ 17.10 for NOW @ 67.26.

I still have enough BAC to be comfortable with my financials exposure, as well as having some additional housing exposure with AXLL.

NOW is establishing itself as a major platform for IT departments. The revenue backlog is currently very large and if it ramps into a platform, it could see massive growth still.
