About market, TAPE was extremely strong maintained UP move of up to 700 DOW points closing @ 500++. Many laggards were flying with double digits gain in today's session alone. These rotation is very healthy for market. Tomorrow's TAPE should be interesting as to which sector will be in focus, old FANG or new laggards.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

Good Luck with ENPH.

Your portfolio seem to be all set for a major uplift with exposure on Energy, Oil/Natural Gas, Gaming/Casino, airlines and related stocks.

Hi Saleem,

Good luck with ENPH!

I was looking at FSLR this morning as it usually has the most exposure to large projects like the EU will likely deploy with the green funds. It's probably more of a trade than an investment at this point though.

Hi Saleem,

Sold UPS @ 97.60

A play that I hoped would work on re-opening thoughts (so they could transport to businesses, their bigger profit center) hasn't panned out. I think AMZN is slicing too much market share from them.

Hi Saleem,

Added a little more PLAN @ 42.97 because I didn't have enough cash originally to make it a full position.

Hi Saleem,

You are fairly correct in that statement. I've been waiting on some of these for a while after not feeling the value was correct during a lot of this run off the bottom.

Hi Stocktrader,

You forgot to add PS, WDC, WFC and CHGG. I added more PS and CHGG today

Sold HEPA, SRNE, ELF

Saleem - Nice trade on MGM. Minting $$$$

Thanks

Hi Paramjeet,

Besides running out of money to purchase more new stocks (although will sell FSLR at some point to free up cash since it's only a trade):

I doubt PS's ability to have long term profitability due to having to purchase content and also competition from free services. This keeps me away from what otherwise seems like a pretty good story.

I am watching WDC most closely of that list. I think they are well positioned for the future of computing power with storage and NAND. Low-end competitors are always the problem though in markets that are mostly commoditized, but the low valuation might already discount this.

WFC has just run too far for me to justify right now. I fear their commercial real estate exposure and continued market share loss to online competitors. I think of SQ as the new "bank", so we'll see how that goes.

I read a report from an analyst last week that said CHGG's stock went up one of the most of any in the market compared to how much revenue they actually gained in the crisis, so I wonder how much of this run-up in price is justified. That said, I do like it for entry at some point. Maybe I can look at it in the mid-50s if it gets there...

Hi Paramjeet,

Nice job with the pruning! I think we are really in a position where the stronger stocks will continue to perform all year (and I'm trying to trend towards charts above 50/200 DMAs). Some of the capital gains for people are huge, so I think sellers will disappear as we get closer to year end.

Hi Stocktrader,

Thanks for the detailed note on stocks.

Good Luck with your picks.

Hi Paramjeet,

I don't claim or pretend to be correct in any of my takes of companies, but just trying to give my personal thoughts or hesitations. Continually trading stocks and churning out new ideas is hard, so even if people disagree, hopefully there's something interesting to read in what I wrote :)

Hi Stocktrader,

Writing rationale to buy or sell is a git to reader of this BLOG, I always read your summation.....

We are all different type of trader....focus on totally different trading ideas.....sometimes something clicks and we end up with same stock......

We are all humans, mistakes are part of the game and learning from mistake is a blessing!!!!

Saleem

psrajpal said...

Hi Stocktrader,

I look forward to your perspectives. As Saleem rightfully stated, each one of us have different investment philosophy and I am sure each one of us always have good/bad experiences with what we believe it. That's life and that makes it interesting.

At the end, I wish each one of us come out green $$ and satisfied with the outcomes.

Thank you!!

Hi guys,

I also really like DKNG, but am hoping for a secondary offering.

Hi guys,

I also think it'll be a great trade and/or investment in MTCH when IAC divests its stake.
