About market, TAPE was sluggish again and zig zagged whole day. Close was respectable in many days, CMF improved further in all indices, a sign of better TAPE to come. I am more optimistic today, we may be ready for an oversold bounce. Fed policy and Chinese weakness have been analysed & reacted to the hilt already. It is a short term traders market and should be traded accordingly.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

Sold FIT @ 38.78

Wanted to reduce overall exposure and I have the least confidence in this name. Two different companies released smartwatchs yesterday--Alibaba and Pebble. I know these aren't big names, but it just seems really hard to make the out-year case for FIT with all the competition.

Hi Saleem,

Bought LBIO @ 7.033

Something about it just struck me as right after all the market decline and bad biotech press. Good trials results almost caused a breakout earlier in the month but it failed with the market. Big institutional support from smart biotech investors.

Hi Saleem,

Bought BABA @ 58.458

I have been waiting for an opportunity to enter for a long time. I think this is as good of a chance as I might get to enter this long term growth story regardless of short term challenges and poor sentiment.

Hi Stocktrader,

Good luck with your favourite LBIO & BABA.

Yes..today may be the day to get aggressive in buying......

Fed speaks tonight may give comfort to jitter bugs.

Hi Saleem,

Referencing our discussion from Monday, I guess NXPI was talking about the new Apple phones at the conference:

09:59 EDT NXPI theflyonthewall.com:
OTR Global believes NXP Semiconductors lost sensor gub in new iPhone 6S

OTR Global handset supply chain checks indicate NXP Semiconductors (NXPI) has lost the sensor hug socket in Apple's (AAPL) new iPhone 6S, about a $1 in content. OTR Global said NXP still has around $1.85 in content within the phone. :theflyonthewall.com

Huge bounce off the lows--chance to get out now?

Hi Saleem,

I really want to add an agribusiness stock, but just can't quite find the right one. Any thoughts besides AGU?

Hi Stocktrader,

I am a firm believer in that everything gets priced in very quickly.

Technology always evolves that is a given.

NXPI is a solid tech stock to hold till profit rolls in....

IPI has been trashed....in ag

Hi Saleem,

Thanks for the pick! I'm still trying to form my thesis. It is interesting to think about how Brazil falling apart might affect crop prices.

Hi Stocktrader,

Commodities are taking a huge toll in many economies, importers are benefiting while exporters are left holding the bag.....

We may be hitting "trough " in that sector also.....
