Hi Saleem,

In the last half hour, sold everything except a few holdings given the huge relief rally today. I'm too concerned about the next move and mood of the market to feel confident in most of my picks which are somewhat dependent on positive sentiment to continue their price march higher.

Current Holdings: BABA VICR MHO TRIL APPN, cash 71.7%

I guess I'm pulling the old "sell in May". We'll see how patient I can be...

Hi Stocktrader,

72% cash going into May....may not be a bad idea.

Good luck with your early summer vacation....

Hi Saleem,

Ugh, as usual I made a big mistake selling my individual stock picks when felt weakness in the general market...BOOM after the bell announced incredible results. They raised 2018 ex-items guidance to $1.90-$2.00 vs analyst expectations of $1.26.
