Hi Saleem,

Two positive notes on TECK this morning...hopefully will do some good...

07:55 EDT TECK Teck Resources initiated with a Buy at MKM Partners
MKM Partners analyst Daniel Scott initiated Teck Resources with a Buy and a $29 price target saying he believes coal is poised to continue its run into at least 1H 2017. Scott said Teck's geographic advantage against other North American producers, its low cost open pit operations, its currency exchange rage advantage, and its 100 year reserve life are all investment positives.

06:37 EDT TECK Teck Resources upgraded to Outperform from Neutral at Macquarie

Hi Stocktrader,

Thanks for posting analysts upgrades on TECK.

Booking profit never hurts.

Hi Saleem,

Bought HBAN @ 13.30

This is my new entry into financials. An analyst upgrade today really pointed out the positives including reasonable valuation still, increased earnings power from the recent merger, and high leverage to economic growth and higher interest rates.

Hi Saleem,

Good luck with more AMD. It has been a rocket ship!

Hi Saleem,

The action in QRVO (and other smartphone suppliers) makes it look like investors are expecting another miss and guide down for Q4/Q1. I might have been too early still. I may pare it back tomorrow when it is available to do so unrestrictedly.

Portfolio: TECK LYB CHK ZYNE SPLK, QRVO HBAN NEFF, ACIA CY PI M, cash 9.6%

Interestingly, my portfolio is starting to widen out a bit whereby I'm finding more ideas that may have good upside and therefore don't need concentrated positions just to stay fully allocated. If I'm right in any way, it's probably a good sign for the overall market still.

Hi Stocktrader,

YES...market has broadened its appeal, thus a rotation is going on......

Not having a concentrated position is another strategy which works.....my max is 8 stocks based on my "impatient trading style"

Good luck with more stocks....
