Bubble Stocks Are Cratering Again

Breadth stands at 38%. Shares of BLOX, SPLK, ECOM, SSTK, CRTO, IMPV and WDAY are cratering again, leaving you with a choice.

A. Do you take the leap of faith on the assumption that today is a one off event and the bubble stocks will recover on Monday?

B. Avoid them like the plague that they are, in favor for real businesses?

There is a parable tucked away in the decision you’re about to make. It’s the classic battle of Greed versus Ambition, mixed in with a little luck and timing.  Luckily for me, it’s an easy decision, since I am risk averse. I hereby extricate myself from the vagrancy of the market and seek to enjoy my weekend without the specter of monday morning ‘surprise sex.’

We might just be heading towards another PPT oversold signal. If that’s the case, this might be a good time to eat a sandwich and enjoy the show.

      I believe Le Fly might have an interesting story or two on stock options. Enjoy living off of cat food and pasta.

        Heat the cat food in a sauce with some weeds pulled from the garden. Cook the pasta al dente and smother with sauce. Ah….the sweet smell of greed.

    Are we approaching PPT oversold? What is the score we are looking for again? It is the tech score in upper right correct?

    Poor fundamentals are showing up quicker than I thought for the profitless growth tech stocks. Stay tuned for a comment on one of the darlings. I shorted some of it into the close. The PPT scores while they should be respected do not scare me on this name. How do the PPT’s do at major tops?

    Shakeout will continue for a few months, and the long-term winners in Social and SaaS will continue to separate themselves. Finding the right ones will allow you to bank a lot of coin over the next 2-3 years. I recommend staying vigilant in this regard…rather than lazily throwing them all into the same bucket.

    Good comment by dae42…also, stocks drop and drama queen headlines appear….and really, Blue Star, your posting once in a blue moon doesn’t cut it with this plebe. Are you serious about blogging your book like the other pros on the site, or do you think you are someone special. You will surely lose your credibility FAST if you think what you have to offer is better than what these pros blog on a DAILY basis.

      Lighten up Francis. I am not special and I am a plebe as well. I am wrong about 45% of the time.
