Bought into the Bell — God Have Mercy on My Soul
I bought MU, PAYC, TWTR, APPF and ZEN into the bell — all 5% positions. Couple that with an earlier purchase of EXK and I’ve now allocated 70% of my cash.

“We are upgrading GE to Neutral and removing it from the Analyst Focus List as a short idea as we now see a more event-driven, balanced risk reward at current levels,”...
It's almost as if three different people wrote the posts.  
Interesting that he likes the SaaS stocks.
