Hi Saleem,

The FCX buy today was a new position after selling my last try with FCX last Wednesday morning (NEM too). I think there was a mostly neutral Fed speaker that day that indicated the September rate hike was ready unless something really terrible happened. I looked back at the posts to check for sure :)

Hi Saleem,

Bought HUN @ 16.96

Interesting commentary out of management today tells me there might be something special in store, and if not, we still may have reached a short-term bottom.

Hi Saleem,

Oh, almost forgot about last week's numbers...portfolio was -1.21% vs -1.25% for S&P and worse other indices. HDP and WLH were small winners and TDOC and SGMO(sold) were the biggest decliners.

I started the week with 60.4% cash, but I am down to only 9.5% cash now. Portfolio is currently HDP MS XOOM KSS PANW WLH LNKD DATA HUN TDOC FCX LBIO. TDOC just reported and looked good enough. KSS reports tomorrow morning.
