Hi Stocktrader,

What was your impression of BABA conference call, i missed it.

Hi Saleem,

Honestly I didn't listen to it. It didn't really matter to me what they reported or said this specific quarter, it's a longer term thesis. Plus, mornings are a busy time around here :) I'm sure the analysts will have a lot to say throughout the day today and tomorrow.

Hi Stocktrader,

Revenue growth is very good and a solid beat $5.61 billion vs $5.23 billion expected....

EPS of 63 cents vs 65 cents expected is a minor issue imho

Hi Saleem,

AMZN reported volatile bottom line numbers for years and years. We will see if investors give BABA the same pass. The accelerating revenue growth seems the real story to me, with much more still to come.

Hi Saleem,

Good luck with OLED.

I'd been looking at ATHN in the past week for the first time in a long, long while. It had been so expensive for so long but finally was getting closer to a value where I was comfortable...not anymore! LOL :)

Hi Saleem,

Sold TZA @ 18.54

I had been waiting to see if the Brazil problem caused more forced selling today but I think we're in the clear. Ready for the market to make new highs possibly now--it seems like we washed away a good amount of complacency yesterday...
