Hi Saleem,

Sold YY @ 76.31

The chart looks like it's starting to roll over, and the secondary may weigh if a down move starts. It seems like the more "physical" stocks in the market have the traction currently.

Hi Saleem,

Bought SWN @ 5.90

Natural gas is breaking out today, and the SWN is very near a breakout. It could be 10% upside in short order if it does break.

Hi Saleem,

Sold INCY @ 118.44

This was a failed attempt to buy a stock on a secondary. In retrospect, I think the secondary indicated to the street that the company wasn't for sale, which is a big draw for some of these biotechs. The chart looks broken now, and supply should be heavy, even as the stock is oversold certainly now. A weaker FANG-ish trend could send biotech down also, and I'd hate to be in a laggard already with no clear thesis.

Hi Saleem,

I almost forgot about the weekly stats!

Performance: +0.63% (YTD: +28.20%)
Notable Winners: TDOC MU BAC TRIL WUBA COUP
Notable Losers: INCY X ORCL

Current portfolio (including today's trades): MU BAC ORCL NOW WUBA SPLK SWN HUBS IP FCX TDOC PETQ X COUP TRIL, cash 3.9%

It seems ever more important to be diversified these days as the market breaks out to new highs. I hope I've accomplished that well enough. I may add to some current positions tomorrow to utilize the rest of my cash.
