Hi Saleem,

Sold TZA @ 8.12

Small caps just staged a breakout, and I can't see what negative catalyst from here could actually bring them down, especially as we hit their seasonally strong period. I trust being long my current holdings without a need for a hedge.

Bought MHO @ 26.25

I think housing has hit a trough with commodity prices coming down and rates tame. Their buyback program will also help.

Hi Explorer,

BABA was a tricky trade this morning--I hope you got out with some nice profit!

SPLK should do well, but those options are so expensive.

Hi Saleem,

Bought NVTR @ 20.71

I think spinal cord stimulation has a long runway ahead as people try and use non-prescription drug methods to treat chronic pain and other ailments.
