Another day another strong close with gains upto 2%...
Volume was very heavy....
Market internals were stronger than close...
New 52 wk Highs expanded big time 340 in NYSE & 147 in Nasdaq....
Gold closed @ all time HIGH...yes it did....intraday was higher before but close was lower than today......
Canadian $ closed @ its highest level in almost a year 93.91 cents US for 1 CAD......
SO...where we go from here ???
Here is the RSI numbers for indices after close :
Dow 71.03
Nasdaq 74.01
S&P 500 72.89
Last time RSI went to 76+ area before correction........in all indices......
So take it for whatever its worth.....
I have started my defensive strategy already as I sold covered call in POT....Oct $95..I got $5...so IF called I make $4.50 per share......
I DO have selling strategy in my entire position.....which MAY be done by Friday......
Good luck in your OWN comfort level......I am making decision based on my OWN comfort level....
Like others..I have NO clue where this market is heading...BUT locking profit seems to be IMPORTANT for me.
BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Standards,
World markets are strong.....
I will take advantage by selling some equities......
Markets CAN stay FROTHY for a long time...same way it stayed weak for a long time.....so we have to find balance with whatever metrics we use...for me it is all about RSI.

Hi Madmax,
My agenda in life & BLOG is to stay truthful....I am an open book..what I write IS what i think.
IF i see REASON to change ..i never hesitate.....
It is NEVER about what I think..but what market MAY be telling me throught its TAPE.....
As a strtaegy...i never fight for the last $.....because it MAY not be there in the end????
Good luck in your OWN independent actions because you are a long term investor and i AM a swing trader...BIG difference !!!!

Hi All,
A wise man said "Take what the market gives you"
Longs - buy late, sell early
Short - sell late, buy early
The market will punish those who try for the last dollar.
ok, I'm off my soapbox
Have a great weekend.
Hi Standards,
Wise quote is pretty good...
Nobody knows where market or stocks are headed in the short term.
