About market, TAPE is in a yo yo mode, UP day followed by Down day, Nasdaq is below 50 DMA again, S&P 500 showed relative strength and closed above 50 DMA. Wednesday @ 2 PM is Fed minutes day, which may bring its own volatility. Option expiry played a role today and may continue to do so this week.Stay the course with better performing stocks, no sense trying to outsmart this market or any other market.

Hi Saleem,

Thanks, I was very scared this morning making that move, but definitely looks more stable now.

Swapped my overweighting in HDP @ 26.302 for overweighting in CYBR @ 59.622.

I like the setup in CYBR better.
