Rationalizations for trades:

GT: Goodyear got a nice rise off of good earnings. I am going to see if I can catch some momentum.

BIDU: Setting a sell target of $97.50. It looks like it is sputtering a bit so I will hopefully get out tomorrow if target is met.

COP: COP has performed nicely so it is time to take profit.

GOOG: Still have buy target for $460.00

Good luck investors

Disclosure: I am not currently long or short any of the shares aforementioned. I have some speculative option positions in GOOG and RIMM.
