Caution time

The market continues to churn at these levels. A slow distribution is visible in many stocks which rallied for long time. For some it might be end of their run, for some it might be a pause before they breakout again. It is not a time to be overly aggressive. The easy money period was couple of weeks ago.

I am mostly in cash and selectively nibbling at things which have recent catalyst. Today I picked up few shares of CBOU, Caribou Coffee Company Inc, DRRX, Durect Corporation, F, Ford Motor Company and ZIOP,Ziopharm Oncology Inc. Nothing major just playing with play money currently.

Here is what I have positions in or watching:
