5% Day, Friendo

I just got back from a celebratory lunch, tasting menu with wine pairs, at once of Princeton’s finest eateries. I hope you can appreciate the good fortune that I’ve experienced today with FRO. Being able to sell 500,000 shares into an upswing, fully liquid, is a gift, one that I couldn’t look in the face and ignore.

With part of the proceeds, I went long YGE; the rest  is in cash.

My largest positions are IMMR, YELP and AMBA. I know the market will trade up, so I am not too worried about booking profits.

The market looked dicey for awhile, but roared back like the lion that is is. I am almost fully invested and will be looking for another fresh idea this evening. I like NILE, but the shares are too thinly traded. BX and APO are good, but offer limited upside returns. The reason why I went heavy into YGE is for the upside potential. Since I am up so much, I can afford to take risk.

I was up 5% for the day, plastic manning my way to +32% for the year. Despite all of the tests, Le Fly is pissing on his competition from atop a summit, defecating on those who try to sneak up from behind (no homo).

And that’s exactly what I intend to do, friendo.

      No, my avg cost is 2.21. I bought many shares under $2 to reduce the cost. I did, however, start the positions around those levels.

      FRO wasn’t a win, but a respite.

      I am still long 700,000.

      I have upgraded to the Z10, which absolutely rocks. However, the Verizon store I frequent was playing up the new Samsung when I bought my phone in May and my sense is the carriers are not pushing BBRY’s product. However, I know full well you are not trading the company but the stock lol.

    Le Fly please consider writing childrens books. I think you are a well suited writer for the job.
