Hi Saleem,

GE looked like the only thing holding the market up. We're in the nose bleed section on RSI.

Overseas is headed higher.
We may top out just before OE.
Who knows....kinda worrisome here.

Best Regards

Hi Saleem,

Nice moves in Asian markets last night.

Saw an interesting stock CAAS? China automotive which makes power steering and automotive products. Chart looks interesting.

GE is going to increase the Divi good play on pull back

Hi Max,

I like GE but too pricey right now,,,on a pull back it would be interesting. I expect much lower price on GE some time this year, as people forget the news. Maybe this summer in the doldrums.

Best Regards

Saleem,

VXX is deeply oversold. I picked up some.
