About market, TAPE showed strength on oversold conditions, Internals improved. Earnings reaction are positive despite misses, this may be the result of stocks being washed out & ready to move UP. TAPE may move further UP. Stay involved, there is alway's surprise on the UP side when downside is so sure, welcome to Wall Street.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

I had a feeling last night that I got a little too aggressive based on subtle changes to the Fed statement, but the price action had been counter to my thesis all week and today started out poorly again. I am more confused than I've been all year--I probably missed out on a great chance to rebuy this morning though...

Hey Saleem,

Not confused, more like unsure. The deflationary pressures make it really difficult to forecast earnings in my opinion.

Hi Stocktrader,

Stock market is difficult lately thus easy to lose focus.

It is a fast turn market max 48 hours in one direction.

All boats are not being lifted very stock specific.

I am sure you will adjust to this mad mad TAPE.

Hey Saleem,

...and I had to rebuy my favorite:

Bought SPLK @ 52.52 avg.

I always get nervous ahead of earnings based on price action or competitive rumors or whatever, and the conference call is always amazing. I'm sticking it out this time.

Hey Saleem,

Bought PFPT @ 49.939.

Absolutely amazing billings growth and positive conference call (skipped AMZN and GOOGL for these guys). I think their new products will allow them to occupy a higher value niche within the security ecosystem, and they become an attractive takeover candidate.

Hey Saleem,

Market doesn't feel good today. I'm tempted to put on a hedge to protect the new positions I established today.

Hi Stocktrader,

Navigating this market is tough.

Volatility is very high.
