About market, TAPE was weak thanks to many geo-political aggression & tension being ratcheted UP. The good news is that internals capitulated today in a hurry as selling was extreme. I do not expect things to go from bad to worse in world politics or in markets. I am expecting a "green close on Friday"...sorry to Jimmy the Cramer who was panicking today. This TAPE has so much strength otherwise we should have seen 3% drop easy on heightened tension in Gaza & Ukraine.

Hey Saleem,

There is definitely something going on at RALY. Recent insider buys (shocking in a cloud company!) and an activist stake coupled with this recent price action tells me something is up. I wonder if we'll see that takeover soon?

Hi Stocktrader,

RALY is definitely acting better lately....You are close to that company...

Valuation is compelling for a takeover.....

Hey Saleem,

Bought some RALY @ 10.873.

Even on momentum alone it looks good for a run past $12. If the company works out a sale, it could easily be $15-$18.
