Tomorrow we may see rethink about Fed reaction, hopefully we close green. There is only a closing BLOG on Friday's around 7 PM.

Hi Saleem,

Added a few more positions:

Bought PRNB @ 24.28

This stock has held up very well during the big Nasdaq decline and I think it could move higher into year end as its backing is strong.

Bought AVLR @ 30.80

I continue to like the idea of this company and have been following it looking for an entry. The biggest complaint on the stock has always been the valuation given their more modest growth, but recently valuation has come down and I think momentum and market is building, making it a nice play.

Hi Saleem,

Sometimes I'm in too much of a run to put down all my thoughts, but I try to give rationale whenever I can.

The massive run in GRTS has me thinking hedge funds play games with these new IPOs into year end. I think it's something worth thinking about not only this year, but for years to come.

Hi Stocktrader,

Hedge funds team up to run UP or DOWN any stock with their collective might....thus knowing fundamental of all stock in portfolio is very important.....

Hi Saleem,

Good luck with SQ again.

Many of these tech stocks came right back into support levels they broke out from earlier in the week. If anything the risk/reward seems favorable here.

Hi Stocktrader,

Technically indices and stocks are ripe for major upturn.....

Today could be the last successful test for market and stocks....

When gloom is this thick...I get very bullish!
