About market, TAPE reversed and closed @ low of the day, sell the rally seems to be @ play, this reversal does not bode well for the health of this market. AAPL reports after close on Tuesday, that report may change the tone of this market IF it is not that bad as expected. We have churned for a while and it may have a climactic slump and then reverse to retain health of this TAPE.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

Sold VRNS @ 65.59

Even though they told a pretty good story and are probably being conservative, I was expecting more momentum in guidance from recent data protection developments, especially given the relatively high valuation for a niche player. In an environment where I am uncertain, I need to sell the stocks I am not highly convicted on.

Hi Saleem,

Bought YY @ 94.67

Coming back to this name after it's showed some signs of life. I really like their Huya division that is a Chinese version of Twitch.

Hi Saleem,

Bought MTCH @ 46.91

With a chart consolidating near the highs, and massive short interest, I wanted to step into a longer term story.

Hi Saleem,

Sold EBS @ 52.02

Even though I think it will be a "beat and raise" quarter, I'm not sure on the longer term story nor how valuation might play out here. I'm stepping to the sidelines.
