  3. --Shift4 Payments resumed with a Buy at Citi 05:38 FOUR

    --Roblox initiated with a Buy at Citi 05:36 RBLX Citi analyst Jason Bazinet initiated coverage of Roblox with a Buy rating and $59 price target. Roblox is a "unique two-sided gaming platform" with positive free cash flow and a "relatively lean" capital structure, Bazinet tells investors in a research note. After a sharp reduction in Street estimates, consensus estimates are now reasonable, says the analyst. Bazinet adds that while the company's valuation is above many peers, this is justified given its strategic position, "rapid growth and healthy pipeline of product enhancements."

    --Aerojet Rocketdyne upgraded to Overweight from Neutral at JPMorgan 04:41 AJRD JPMorgan analyst Seth Seifman upgraded Aerojet Rocketdyne to Overweight from Neutral with a price target of $49, up from $40. The stock's current valuation is attractive given Aerojet's "visible growth," net cash position that leaves capital to deploy, and the "potential (eventually) to be acquired," Seifman tells investors in a research note. The ongoing proxy fight between the CEO and the chairman is an "unusual overhang" and may take time to resolve but with limited downside from a valuation standpoint and good near-term growth, Aerojet "is worth exploring now," writes the analyst.

    --Teladoc initiated with a Buy at Guggenheim 16:13 TDOC Guggenheim analyst Sandy Draper initiated coverage of Teladoc with a Buy rating and $96 price target.

  7. DOMO is a stock we might think about now. DOMO has a bit more debt than we would like.
    DOMO is a Utah-based provider of BI (business intelligence) software.

    DOMO had good earn last time out. In its most recent quarter, Domo managed to accelerate billings to 30% y/y growth.

    DOMO is very much like ZENDESK. DOMO will eventually be bought.

    DOMO @$51-$52

  10. I was obviously a little jumpy yesterday with an active gummy in a plunging market....
    Normally we would still be in GDYN but my shock & awe at a $1 Gummy in the face of a down 300 Naz I took it.

    For whatever reason things are less panicky today.
    Lets watch- Grid.
