Markets pulling back from "bought conditions"

Markets are pulling back in a very orderly fashion to deal with "bought conditions"....

This is healthy for markets to rest or moderately pull back before moving towards next resistance.....

TXN ongoing bad ER was a catalyst for techs to pull back......

In my portfolio :

I more than doubled my position in ICO @ open...very bad fill paid $9.45 my cost went up to $8.67

SOLD half of my position in V and booked profit of $1.82 per share

Bought FMCN cost $34.95.....

My portfolio is :

BRCM,EGO,FMCN,ICO,JNPR,PMCS,SNDK,SEED,TSO,TOL,V......

BRCM UP 15 cents reports tonight consensus of 28 cents EPS on $792.32 million in Sales..

EGO UP 15 cents

FMCN UP $1.14...I am down 19 cents

ICO UP 48 cents

JNPR down 62 cents

PMCS down 6 cents

SNDK down 94 cents

SEED down 4 cents

TSO down 40 cents

TOL down 15 cents

V UP 56 cents

@11.40 AM the following stocks are green :

POT,IP,CTRP,WYNN,TSL,MA,LVS,SOHU,VLO,ABX,SPWR,

I Saleem,
I am amazed by the number of different stock you have. Your ways are often inspiring and toughful.
I sold my RIG this morning to add some AAPL. I am looking foward to enter the home sector with perhaps TOL or HOV. I have been waiting for a healthy pullback from V to get in, but missed my chance two weeks ago.
I will sell my POT on earning day (24.04.08) as I start to feel uneased with its rapid ascension. I will also take some profits on MOO the same day.

AAPL
MOO
PBR
Cash for (V or MER, HOV or TOL)

Thanks

Hi Ghoad,

Diversification gives me the chance to rotate out of stocks into new attractive bargains.

Booking profit is smart...I never fight for last few $$.

Good luck on your strategy.

SALEEM Hello my friend....

Sold my CMED, AAPL, and LDK.

Gosh AAPL is crashing here, earnings is tomorrow and two negative down grades, It is so hard to hold AAPL through earnings.
So I took opportunity to sell and make $$$$. RIMM is in the dumps too. This could be an opportunity here to buy AAPL tomorrow?? Thoughts

I do like a lot of your stock picks.



Have a great day
Good Luck to
Madmax

Saleem,

What is your thought on SOLF right now, it has held up pretty well through the past 2 down days?

Hi Haw,

SOLF is trying to form a bse here in $15 area.....

On a PE basis it IS the-most undervalued stock in solar.

SOLF will do well on a longterm basis based on relative valuation.

Good luck with your position.

Saleem, yes somebody knew something and thats why I loaded on MAY 80 calls, MAY 75 calls and OCT 105 calls... now using the option calculator I see they are easily doubled or tripled at 68/ AH price...

If we get GOOG like short squeeze then they will go even more... lets hope for the best...!!
