About market, TAPE was under mild selling pressure due to slowing Chinese growth & Greece decision. Indices closed near low of the day and there was some damage to internals of the market. IF Greece situation becomes optimistic and get resolved, then we may have a very strong day, which could be as early as tomorrow. Otherwise, stay put and wait for 1 down day and 2 up day TAPE.

Hi Saleem,

Sold TZA @ 10.705.

It served its purpose for now and I made some quick money to offset losses.

Hi Saleem,

Bought WLH @ avg 21.02

I've been wanting to get some housing exposure for a while now, and think maybe this is a good opportunity.

Hi Saleem,

In other news...the portfolio was slightly down last week during the volatility versus slightly up for the indices. FRSH (+3.7% at sale) and SPLK (+2.8%) were the biggest gainers, and my foolish sell of AAL near the bottom (-5.2% at sale) was the biggest decliner.

After the moves this week, the portfolio is currently:

SPLK URI AA C EMN GM BABA IACI WLH CSOD (AEMD)
Cash: 11.7%

I'm trying to stick with good charts and/or stocks with potential upcoming catalysts, and will be willing to quickly cut losses if the thesis changes.
