AMZ ER was a major disappointment, missed EPS by 26 cents and guidance was in-line, not good enough for an expensive stock, Sold my position AH @ $768.00.

AH Futures UP

AH Asian Markets Mixed

AH Oil Down

AH Gold UP

About market, most of the earning reports are better than expected, which should help TAPE to show green on Friday.TAPE was weak today & internals were weak, in anticipation of front line reports, GOOG was better and AMZN not so good. For my portfolio, earning season has been extremely negative, but, i am holding most of my position, except AMZN. earnings are expected to be challenged in VRX. VRX is a long term holding for me, so, this earning report is not in focus. Every Friday's, there is a closing BLOG around 7 PM.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

Good luck with the AMZN/BIDU swap.

Hi Saleem,

Sold AKS @ 5.19

The 65M secondary (with option for more) is too heavy for this kind of stock I think. At best I expect it to remain in the low 5s. I'll look to allocate elsewhere.

Hi Saleem,

Biotech continues to get killed. I should have kept that LABD for protection, or trimmed TRIL like I considered for a while. Even staying out of ZYNE after selling the first time would have helped significantly. At this point, I feel both that it's too late to sell, but also that there's likely more downside. What a dilemma...

Hi Stocktrader,

TRIL & ZYNE seems to have more selling these days.

Sometimes sector needs to digest gains.

GWPH is on my watch list, i felt that $118 is support, but now it has gone down to $115...that gives an indication, where ZYNE is heading.

Good luck with your decision.

Hi Saleem,

Re-entered ACIA @ 68.30 with the AKS proceeds.

I think the selloff is overdone.

Hi Saleem,

Portfolio: TRIL, WLH SPLK QRVO LYB FDX, ZYNE AMZN, DKS, ACIA, CNAT, 0% cash

I'm not sure I have this composition exactly like I want it, but it's good enough for today :)

Hi Stocktrader,

TAPE has become troublesome, i did not listen to my inner voice, thus all the drubbing which, i am getting.

Good luck with your portfolio.
