About market, TAPE was not as strong as the indices would show, internals were negative in Nasdaq. Divergence is never a good thing. Thursday before Option expiry is unpredictable as market makers are in total control & will take most stocks @ certain strike price of their liking. Earnings tonight are sloppy & may put pressure in certain sectors unless analysts come to their rescue by upgrading or defending those stocks.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

I think there's a new potential suitor for SPLK...MSFT. I'm not saying it's highly likely or anything, but I've not really considered them before. I think the new direction of MSFT might work well with a SPLK acquisition.

Hi Stocktrader,

Good luck with SGMO.

MSFT has to acquire many software companies to move in new direction.

Hey Saleem,

Yes, on the road I was thinking more about my comment, and I came to the same conclusion. It made me think about CSOD again.

Hey Saleem,

...and RALY.

I think both CSOD and RALY need to be taken out eventually.

Hi Stocktrader,

Satya Nadella CEO of Microsoft is forward looking visionary...

He is moving in totally different direction....
18k job cut is a sign of moving away from past focus.
