A Surprisingly Great Day

A weak day for markets overall but it could have easily been far worse.

Markets stabilized after the opening gap and then slowly rose.

The good news is our stocks are still doing very well with today's best being GoPro Inc (NASDAQ:GPRO) up nearly 11% and Mobileye Nv (NYSE:MBLY) up over 7%.

Not to take anything away from Merrimack Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:MACK) up over 4% or Avanir Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:AVNR) up 2.93%.

Tableau Software (NYSE:DATA) wasn’t as good and United Therapeutics Corporation (NASDAQ:UTHR) and Gilead Sciences Inc (NASDAQ:GILD) were actually down on the day.

I did buy some Rada Electronics Industries Limited (NASDAQ:RADA), a very fast mover and so far it is working but not to a huge degree yet.

I had one of the best weekends of the summer, and do need to catch up on a little beauty rest tonight so I’ll try to be as short as possible this evening.

It is so nice to get away from all technology and spend a few day with old a new friends alike in a beautiful setting. It should be done more often!
