1.8% REVERSAL in S&P 500 ?????

Today's close is NOT good technically......from making new 09 HIGHS to reverse all the gains & close near low of the day???

S&P 500 saw a reversal of 1.8% @ close????

Lot of reasons are being given from Fed Beige book to Dick Bove sell rating on WFC...BUT we have to accept the verdict of the TAPE which was a very WEAK close......

TAPE is always correct in defining the day..it needs NO reason......

As we ARE elevated a CAUTIOUS trading approach IS PRUDENT.....like quick trades & locking all profit... as i am doing for a while......

I will pay close attention to how we close on Thursday......

RSI in S&P 500 is @ 57.72...in mid range between buy & sell......

In my portfolio :

Sold AAPL

Sold GNK

Portfolio is AUY,BAC,COMS,MRVL,RIMM......

AH Futures are mixed

AH Nikkei is Down 1.07%

AH Gold is UP

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

Saw that WFC news, sounds about right. A cautious approach is prudent at the moment. Traders may start locking in gains. Very nice trade in GNK! You Da Man! More opportunities coming....
ATL gas $2.49. Cost of living rising.
Job market in very poor condition. Buyers market in real estate.

Best Regards

Standards

it has and still is a buyer market

I will hold my 150 shares of apple. Hoping for the $300 run smile

GNK was an awesome call-great move Saleem,
Lots of chatter on the new about national health care and pay salaries, I think this is affecting the market

I saw that GOLD is down--AUY is slipping back a little, thoughts
Best to all
