    this makes 0 sense.. when stocks are down buy them! How long do you want to wait? till they go back up high enough so you don't make any $$$. I doubt all these oil companies struggling are going out of business.

    Yes... I owned it back then when it was around $11, I think. And no, I didn't hold onto it. :( It was one of the first stocks I ever bought.

    Go out of business is the wrong phrase. With oil so low there will be an aftermath of certain companies like CAT. That I think will take a hit if oil is in the 45-50$ range for a sustained time Rather than predict what it will so I like to look at the indicators and make a trade off of that. Trading perspective.

    I'm watching USO. I think it could have a violent SnapBack to $21-22. Just nt sure when that comes.

    Hoping for a weak rally today for a chance to get short the general market for some swings.

    That might as well be day trading, but you need to be on margin if you are a 'pattern day trader'. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_day_trader

    Added ANET on the dip today.

    Arista Networks Inc. (NYSE: ANET) went public last June and continued to be one of the hot IPO stories of 2014. The company delivers software-driven cloud networking solutions for large data center and computing environments. In addition, the company’s 10/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet switches offer scalability and performance, and have over 2,700 customers, as well as more than 2 million cloud networking ports deployed worldwide. The Stifel team thinks that the company is continuing to see strong momentum with cloud providers, who could ratchet capital expenditure spending up sharply.

    The Stifel price target for the stock is $95. The Thomson/First Call consensus price target is $88.60.

    What about the whole lawsuit with Cisco, if I am not mistaken they have a pretty good case against them.

    I added a position in BABA today with the dip to hold long term.
