About market, Fed action surprised majority of predictors, most were positioned for an increase and were positioned for a market slump, High Frequency traders even wrong, but had the muscle to bring the market in their direction, thus a mixed close. Tonight IBD is changing its market outlook to "uptrend under pressure". I expect TAPE to be positive by close on Friday.

Hey Saleem,

Bad timing on my FCX purchase. They announced completion of the at-the-market secondary as I thought they might, but they announced another one right away. Add that to the fact that the weaker $ is not helping commodities at all and I really messed that one up!

Hi Saleem,

Bought X @ 13.54 based on AKS's guidance and potential for positive catalysts given the extremely negative sentiment.

Hi Stocktrader,

Good luck with X & AMBA.

FCX should be OK long term.

Hi Saleem,

Amazing ride on FIT--congrats!

Good luck with BIDU--I'm hoping to buy some BABA on Monday after the lockup pressure abates.

Hi Saleem,

Sold FCX @ 11.044

Failed breakout, copper falling again, another secondary to pressure stock and depress potential earnings. Need to move back to sidelines :(

Hi Saleem,

Sold X @ 13.20

The stock is hitting new 52-wk lows even after AKS's guidance (and AKS rolled over too). It looks like more pain to come...

Hi Saleem,

Rebought TZA hedge @ 11.31.

Ugh, was wanting a better price for hours. It just kept creeping up.
