New Trade: Long Apple ($AAPL) & Short Rackspace Hosting ($RAX)

I’d certainly like to start things off on the right foot so I’m going with a trade that I’m very confident about.

Long Priceline (PCLN) & Short AOL (AOL) currently stands at +31,97% and will be closed on today’s opening.

You can see the numbers for both companies here:
