US Economy showing sign of life !!!

The death of US economic strength was "wildly exaggerated & very premature".....

Today jobless claims fell.....that does NOT happen... when economy is in recession if you believe all the doomsters ????

Job report on friday should show a healthy economy..NOT a sinking picture !!!

Slowdown for Q4 & Q1.....has been acknowledged by the fed.....

Q2 of 08 will be the bottom and then recovery from Q3...

Q4 of 08 will be very strong...just in-time for Christmas & gadget sales.......

In my portfolio :

I added 13% more AAPL @ open...got a very good fill...$186.21 my cost on AAPL moved UP to $178.11.....

AAPL is again"superstar in my show UP $3.05"..Bear Stearn's analyst Andrew Neff raised his target to $249 with a BUY rating..also increased estimate for earning for Q1(current Q) to $1.75 on sales of $9.67 billion...

RIMM is also trying to perk UP $1.41 ...trying to break the "downtrend"

AGU jumped to all-time high but has backed off for now.....currently UP 86 cents....

LDK is down $1.53 on heavy volume......MM taking advantage of weak hands...who dump shares @ the sign of first pullback.....no CONVICTION....which is known to hedge funds & MM...so why wouldn't they take advantage of these defined behaviour......

@ 11.23 AM the following are green:

GOOG,IFN,POT(new high),CTRP (near alltime high),SIRF,CMED (higher end of the trading range),NMX,NYX,VLO,WFR,SNE,HOKU (financing for new plant),SOHU,OXPS,
EBAY,LRCX,NTRI,MA(new high),JASO,ENER.

We are ABOVE some KEY technical levels on the market..S&P 500 is above 1490 $$$$

Good luck on rest of the day.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Please make your OWN trading decision with proper analysis.

Hi Salem,
I bought LIFC yesterday and it was up almost %10 and it is all time high now. I also bought NYX, AMED, HP and COST. What do you guys think about these stocks?
Thanks.

Hi Rimm,

All of your purchase went UP today...they all look very strong to me.

Must be the Turkish Sheesh Kebob...which I enjoyed in Istanbul back in 1970..went to Ankara ,Erzurum by bus.

Thanks for your quick reply Saleem,
Today was a great day as I'm trying to make up my losses so every penny helps.
I was not even born when you were there but Turkey has changed a lot in last 20 years. Btw I live in LA but visit Turkey every year.
If you ever come to LA I'll be honered to have you as my guest.
Peace.

Hi Rimm,

We all are trying very hard to make money on a daily basis.

Markets are always very challenging..so it is important to monitor FA & TA very closely...to avoid loss due to change in direction.

I appreciated your kind offer..never been to LA....having lived in Honolulu for 5 years when I was going to university of Hawaii from 1968 to 1972.

Now live peacefully in Canada.

Good luck on your strong portfolio.

Saleem
