About market, TAPE closed on a stronger note which is a good thing. Internals & volume leaves a lot to be desired. We need to close on Tuesday near high of the day otherwise we could struggle again. Markets are always tricky so it is better to stay diversified & watch how your portfolio is performing against market.

Hey Saleem,

Bought TRIP @ 83.60.

I tried to wait for a price in the $82s but came in too late and it doesn't seem to be looking back.

I think travel bookings were up huge in the first quarter when the weather was so bad. I am using this stock as a way to play that.

Hey Saleem,

Bought SGMO @ 14.139.

It looks like the stock has found support at the 200 DMA and I am constructive on the market at this level.

Hi Stocktrader,

Good luck with TRIP & SGMO....

Weather has been factored in every estimate...it is the guidance which matters.

Hey Saleem,

I'd buy something like SWKS here based on the chart, but I actually fear the semiconductor group right now. I think smartphone sales may have been sluggish in Q1 (makes me negative on AAPL too).

Hi Stocktrader,

It is very important to have strong conviction in any stock one buys or keeps.

Good luck with GM add on.

Hey Saleem,

I really think we are near/at a point of maximum pessimism and coming right into support. I think the risk/reward is favorable here for long exposure.

Hi Stocktrader,

Dow & S&P 500 are making higher lows today but Nasdaq has slumped to new low.....

Market health will be decided by Nasdaq......
