About market, TAPE staged an oversold bounce but internals were weak. We need confirmation of this uptrend by closing green on Friday. Most strong stocks in FANG and SOX did well. By close we lost some of the upside, hopefully we can pick up tomorrow where we left off today. There is only a closing BLOG on Friday's around 7 PM.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

Bought TNA @ 50.07

I am so confident on the rebound now that I've totally flipped from yesterday. I want to position for breakout highs.

Hi Saleem,

Good luck with WB--you're really supercharging that portfolio now! :)

I have about 14.4% cash that I'm almost desperate to deploy as my thesis on the market has so dramatically changed. It is hard when many things are up so much already from the lows, but I'll be searching as the day progresses.

Hi Saleem,

I am lacking confidence in the upside in some particular names I thought could be good like HUN BAC CHK DAL etc, so I just went for an additional block of TNA. It is my largest position now:

Added to TNA @ 50.58

Current portfolio: TNA SPLK BABA RCL ZYNE MU KBH PLNT ACIA GRUB Z MJCO, cash 7.1%

Now that I have plenty of upside exposure, I'll save the cash position for a specific idea when something really appeals to me.

Hi Saleem,

Good luck with more WB. I feel like it needs to rest after such a huge post-earnings run, but they really showed something special this quarter.
