Hi Saleem,

The gains you are capturing are huge - nice job!

I'm looking at UPS for purchase this morning but I can't trade in pre-market.

Hi Saleem,

Sold $NAIL @16.70 to book profits. Added 40% more $CGC on the pullback.

Sector rotations seem to be occuring today specially towards Home Building and Retail stocks.

Thanks

Hi Paramjeet,

That was an incredible NAIL trade!

I am still skeptical of housing's ability to fully recover as job uncertainty remains even when the economy is "back to work" and ahead of a huge US election in November.

Thank you Stocktrader_1996. My entry point was $13.30 for $NAIL. 28% rise in 1.2 trading session was amazing.

- Started a small speculative position in $BLPH @ 15.11. Nitrous Oxide in place of ventillators seems like a great find. Lot of positive news coming up across from hospitals and patients. A recent upgrade to $35 is a plus.

- Added $KRA at $10.55 and 30% more $PS at $15.71

- Sold a darling stock $LVGO at $43.98 which I entered few week's earlier at $36.12

So far so good!!

Happy Trading to all.

Forgot to mention. Added HEPA at 1.44 earlier today. Have been watching this stock for a while. CRV431 PhaseIII could be a game changer. Stock price is beaten down a lot and I believe it can skyrocket anytime.

Thanks

Hi Saleem,

I really appreciate you for the blog, sharing your ideas daily. I do visit your blog daily although I was sidelined for trading a bit
but now I am back with an anticipation that the worse is behind. I love reading Stocktrader thoughts too.

I got some AKAM 110 calls, FEYE 12 calls, SPOT 150 calls and URI 109 puts

Happy trading !!! Good luck to everyone

Hi Paramjeet,

I thought AKAM's quarter and guidance looked pretty good. I'll be looking to buy tomorrow if it remains at these low levels.

Hi Stocktrader,

You addressed it to Paramjeet but this was posted by me Explorer :) I hope you remember me!! After a long time though! These were added just before the market close and I have LH 195 calls, FB 200 calls. They all for 5/15 expiration.
I listened to the AKAM conf call and very positive however the AH action is negative but I think tomorrow it could reverse as the volume is so low AH.

Stay safe.

Paramjit, thanks for sharing your trades

Hi Explorer,

Oh yes, welcome back!

We'll see how AKAM acts tomorrow. It might be too much of a "stay at home" stock during this current "back to work" phase, but I thought the numbers were really good. It's hard to find a beat-and-raise quarter during these times!
