About market, TAPE has been extremely weak in Dow stocks, down 7 consecutive days, seems deeply oversold. Nasdaq was dragged on overbought conditions. Oil has been weak and sentiment on oil is extremely negative, a very reliable contrary indicator. Hopefully Nasdaq can get back on track of positive close starting with Wednesday close. Today's selling was overdue and am glad its out of the way.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

Swapped FB @ 123.36 for QRVO @ 54.25

I couldn't resist and I thought FB had the least immediate % upside.

Hi Saleem,

I will likely sell SWKS when I can (2 more days) to back down my semis exposure again. QRVO has both better earnings power and takeover optionality right now in my opinion. I might rebuy the FB then--it should be a slow and steady gainer until next quarter.
