Hi Saleem,

Bought SPLK @ 95.07

One of my favorite picks running away in the last few days. I stepped in on this minor morning pullback.

Hi Saleem and stocktrader,

Sold half of TNA @ 69.50. I have to take a loss despite its run. GL

Hi Joseph,

It's been a great run off the bottom!

I think the market still looks healthy here and I regret selling my TNA so early. I find myself working the hard parts of tops and bottoms pretty well, but miss the easy middle parts. It's definitely something for me to work on.

Hi Joseph,

Working through trades gives all of us a system which works eventually.

Good luck with your portfolio.

Hi Saleem,

Bought a smallish position in CHK @ 2.82

Looking for an energy bounce and maybe short squeeze.

Their commentary last week about production, cost cutting, and debt deleveraging seems to line up with a company on the right track.
