About market, TAPE followed its pattern of 1 UP and 1 DOWN day and making new Corona Virus lows. Most commentators look tired and disoriented with this TAPE, nobody can make any sense of Corona Virus related market as history is no guide as far as I know. World is united in dealing with this menace as fast as possible. Borders are closing and government are asking everyone to stay home with compensation to follow.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

Good luck with more LK!

Things feel different this morning: no new cases in China, and Italy's stock market is up. Even Starbucks is opening their Wuhan location. I don't perceive the sense of panic like people need to sell whatever they can to raise cash - we'll see how it shakes out I guess. Eventually we knew the declines would have to end.

Hi Saleem,

I am tempted to get TNA versus some stock picking as all stocks tend to rise a similar amount, hence the 3x leveraged can really outperform.

Hi Saleem,

Good luck with JD and CIEN!

Sold FSLY @ 16.56 to take profits

Bought TNA @ 13.05

It feels like people are scrambling to get exposure today.

Hi Saleem,

Well, I nearly top-ticked TNA, but I'm still optimistic the selling carnage is over and small caps often rebound hard.

Hi Saleem,

Yes, it is a difficult trading environment still...

Sold half CSTL @ 25.51

Added to TNA @ 12.57

I plan to sell the rest of CSTL today as it is too expensive despite good earnings and guidance recently, and just has been too much of a "safe haven" (I want the beaten down stocks more right now). I also wonder if a secondary is coming.

Hi Saleem,

TNA is a little more dislocated than I'd prefer right now, but I think it should work out.

I was looking at MOMO heavily and bought it for some of my smaller accounts. Given how much it was dumped/shorted recently given its dating app, and guidance this morning that didn't seem too terrible, especially in a longer term outlook, I think it could rebound more sharply given the "back to business" in China.

MOMO is definitely attractive, good luck!
