About market, TAPE is showing ongoing weakness with weak closing. No good news seems to be helping overall market. Fed statement was market friendly but it lasted few minutes. S&P 500 is very to close to dipping below 200 DMA, IF it does that, then DJIA may follow .
BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,
Sold SOXS @ 13.92
This short worked well for me, but there are a number of components in the semi index that I think could still work positively here, so it's not worth me holding the short. I also needed to free up some cash for new long positions. I wish I could just be short LRCX, but the retirement account doesn't permit any short positions (hence why I always do the "long" short tracking stocks).
Bought BEAT @ 38.60
Another stock I found while researching 52-wk highs, these guys focus on health monitoring technology that continues to see increased adoption. Their recent quarter really showed this strength and I think there's more room to run.
Bought some VCEL @ 12.90
Another "52 wk high" stock, these guys develop technology to help the body repair and regenerate damaged tissues. The need and use of their product is seeing increasingly higher adoption now and should have a long runway ahead.

Hi Saleem,
Sold MTCH @ 36.18
I had to wait the full two days to sell this stock after it started crashing just seemingly minutes after I purchased it. It is one of the worst situations I've experienced in quite a while. Although I think the stock can bounce from here, the story has become much trickier after the FB announcement which will likely limit upside.
Bought some SFLY @ 93.14
I wish I would have noticed this stock earlier, but the acquisition has completely changed the way the company operates. I think it can continue to grow earnings as they figure out how to best integrate and monetize, and I think investors have yet to truly realize this.

Hi Stocktrader,
You have mostly winners in your trades....only 1 bad move....
Good luck with SFLY....

Hi Saleem,
Trimmed a little NSP @ 83.87 to take profits.
The quarter's beat was based a lot on increased workers at their clients, which I'm not sure is totally sustainable, but the stock is still pretty cheap given the great beat and raise.
I'm still looking to add some more VCEL and SFLY since I didn't have a lot of buying power when I initiated those positions.

Hi Saleem,
Added to VCEL @ 13.05 to round out the position.
