About market, TAPE came under pressure on below $30 oil, indices closed near low of the day. Oil seems to be the deciding factor where indices go. It is hard to evaluate or know the direction of oil as we are all equity focus. Hopefully this shall pass soon. In the meantime look @ quality of your portfolio and try to make it better.

Hi Saleem,

Bought LNKD @ 195.25

I expect a nice beat and raise quarter, but am nervous about the stock reaction. This pullback de-risks it a little bit, but still anticipate a potential 10% decline.

Hi Saleem,

Good luck to you as well! :)

High multiple growth stocks like AMZN NFLX TSLA are all in trouble. FB and GOOGL seem to be reasonably priced, and their recent reports showed accelerating adoption in many areas. I like that we are separating out winners and losers now--that's a positive development no matter what the overall market does.

Hi Saleem,

Good luck with the adds. The carnage today is very heavy on no specific reason except for liquidation of things that were working at least a little.
