About market, TAPE followed oil closely from open to close and closed @ high of the day. Internals were strong and S&P 500 closed above much feared 1950 area.S&P 500 also closed above 50 DMA, first index to accomplish. TAPE has become healthy as it defied Shanghai 6%++ slump. Stay with conviction in strong stocks, there is more gains to come.

Hi Saleem,

Amazing numbers again out of SPLK!

I was going back and looking at how I wanted to get back into SPLK at various times during this crash and it always stayed a few $ above my "no-brainer" entry. It hit $29.85 when I was looking for $28s; it hit $33.77 when I was looking for $32s. Now it is up 50% in two weeks and I'm still sitting on the sidelines. Granted I bought TREE and FB at various times when SPLK was in consideration and those have made me good money, but I'm disappointed I never got back into my favorite new software play.

Looking for the next play! (as I find myself with too much cash for my bullish market stance)

Hi Stocktrader,

Sometimes these things happen, regroup and buy which makes sense to you.

Good luck!

Hi Saleem,

Good luck with the gold positioning.

Rebought RLYP @ 14.83

I think the potential for catalysts skews positively now, and will take this extreme negative sentiment chance to rebuy. There is no doubt challenges remain, but longer term is still well positioned. I was hoping for followthrough negative action today (and we did get that briefly), but the positive tone of the market works to help them in multiple ways, so I don't think my bigger downside targets are realistic.

Hi Stocktrader,

RLYP is deeply oversold and heavily shorted,thus a strong reversal today.

Good luck with your favorite stock!
