This, to me, is another buying opportunity for CRTO (which I see as a $60-ish stock still). Another quick drop based on short-term (and really not terribly bad) news, while the long-term remains pretty solid.

Now I have to decide whether to add to CRTO or SWKS – both are about the same size in my portfolio, and both are trading on newsmaker-news to some degree.
