Will see what SPLK (short) can do this week. Splunk, Inc. Due for a bit of correction? Overpriced at current level? Maybe. 9 pm Sun....switch from long to short. (Shorting always seems to get me in trouble, so will probably haunt the basement this week).  |

Strange day fior SPLK, open $67.07, sold off to $65.66, then ran up to$68.34 and then fell again to close at $67.12 ... Crazy stock! It needs to sell off 3-4 smackaroos the next four days to make things interesting |

It's on the down side so far today, but who knows the way this market is acting?  But I'm still above what it opened at on Mon....so still the wrong way so far. |

uncle.... We both went short this week. So far, my luck is faring better. But, not safe to bet against SPLK. Just thought it was time for this high flyer to take a rest. So far fine, but still three hazardous days to go. I may come down to challenge for last.

We'll see if SPLK investors will continue to be cautious for two more days. I'd just be happy to level out here and beat the BenchMark.
