About market, TAPE closed UP 2 days in a row which is a very good thing, technically speaking. We went through digestive phase early on during the day. Internals were not very convincing yet. Jobs report is due @ 830 AM, it will set the tone for rest of the day, when market wants to go up it does not matter and will close green, which is my guess.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

Saw this this morning and thought I'd pass it along. I know your work doesn't depend too much on analysts, but it stuck out to me because of how dramatic it was:

Ciena downgraded to Sell from Neutral at UBS

UBS analyst Tejas Venkatesh downgraded Ciena (CIEN) to Sell from Neutral with a price target of $31, down from $43. Operational expectations are too high following the company's two years of solid top-line outperformance, Venkatesh tells investors in a research note. Based on channel checks, the analyst believes Ciena's revenue guidance for the January quarter will miss consensus. Venkatesh is concerned about slowing Facebook (FB) spending, which was 13% of the company's revenue last quarter based industry checks, as well as spending deceleration at large tier 1 telcos such as AT&T (T).

Hi Saleem,

Bought ZM @ 63.50

Although this chart is horrific, the continued beat-and-raises of this magnitude can't be ignored for long. I hope the tax-related selling is complete and it can move higher into year end, especially with some short interest hanging around. It's not one I'll have a lot of patience on should it not perform, however.
