About market, it is all about jobs report which is expected to show job creation of 150K , most pundits are scared to even guess expecting a bad number. Diane Swonk thinks it is +185K.....my guess we should be above 100K. S&P 500 & Nasdaq made new highs today, S&P 500 was all time high & Nasdaq a new 14 year high. TAPE is telling us that we go higher with reasonable job growth or "surprisingly better than expected job growth".......

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

PS..was tied up with running a software which took 3 hours...

Hey Saleem,

I'm looking closely at WPRT. If it breaks $18, it could run 10% easily. The first speech by the new EPA commissioner yesterday made supportive comments about natural gas engines.

Hey Saleem,

I had an order for PFPT @ 42.67 but decided to pull due to my thesis on those kinds of stocks. It would have been looking nice today, but I bet it can trickle down further over coming weeks?

I'm watching FEYE to see how Wall Street is now treating these new growth stock "bargains". So far, the reception has been lukewarm.

Hi Stocktrader,

FEYE is doing a secondary today...

Hey Saleem,

Right, I was wondering if investors would step right in to drive it up. We've seen that kind of action in the past, but this secondary is weighing heavily. Down $12 in 2 days, albeit after a huge run.

Sometimes we look at opportunity staring at us....FEYE could be that....
