AAL short daytrade

Played AAL short. My initial entry was close to 38.7 almost at 9:31am. I waited for it to settle down and added heavily at 38.7 to my short position. The stock tanked in 2 min and I exited the position completely making over $400 in profits today. This is part of my strategy. This was called on twitter as the trade was forming and had mentioned to short it below 38.6 at 9:32am

GILD to $100

My comments on this article:
http://seekingalpha.com/article/2301865-gilead-sciences-has-a-realistic-path-to-100 

Many articles being written on GILD. I just put another post on this - Nice article, I like this stock too but not sure I am a buyer at this high. I wold have liked to get into it at a lower cost. This is the time to be cautious since it is at the top. Does not mean it cannot go higher, it is just caution at this level for me. This is a good stock

If you are planning to enter GILD then it may be a bit late.. People are already enjoying the ride from $65. The stock may still go up but I cannot buy when the stock market is at its all time high and most of the stock is at all time high. If one plays it, one should put a tight stop below 80 and play it as a swing trade

FB should you be long here?

My comments on this article:
http://seekingalpha.com/article/2301875-numbers-aside-why-you-should-be-long-facebook

Nice article and agree with the headline of going long on FB right now, maybe longer term. I am not a buyer at this level for sure. I am neutral and want to see how it shapes up. Technically above 66 is a good buy with 70 being the target. If you add stops of 64, the risk reward is not great to take this trade.
My action is do nothing.

Facebook fell well to 55 level recently and if you have already missed the boat, above 65 area is another opportunity. But need to tread cautiously since it is already up 20% since it's fall to 55 area...

Buy (if you will) but with caution is my view

C a less urbane outlook

Agree with the author, short term dont' like this stock, there are better ones out there if you still need to invest in financial sector.

Though C will do good over the years, there are some others that I prefer than C. I like stocks like JP Morgan (JPM) or Wells Fargo (WFC). Those stocks has outperformed and still is better positioned than this one. Again just my personal view. I do agree with the article, that over time this may be do well but a bit risky right now.

FB and new emotions

My comments on this article:
http://seekingalpha.com/article/2301965-what-does-facebooks-recent-user-experiment-tell-us-about-its-market-position-and-challenges

FB always experiments which is good. FB has figured out a way to make money out of the mobile market when other big brand names were struggling to get it right. The stock was a good price when it fell like all other stocks during march/April time frame. This has come back to its original highs. Will wait and watch how this shapes up. With good acquisitions, this is a good stock.

Low closes deal

Retail stock generally does better in 2nd half of the year. This stock has been consolidating for a while and can pick up momentum above 45.. Keep an eye on it as consolidation often results in strong upward movement. 10% upside can be expected.
