2.5% correction in S&P 500 so far.....

S&P 500 low so far is 1092.82....which is 2.5% correction from high of 1120.95...generally minimum correction is 3% +..so a test of 1090 support could be in the cards...1085 should be a strong support.......BUT markets can turn UP on a dime...HFT (high frequency traders) can do it......

Gold UP $2.40

Oil UP 99 cents

Canadian $ UP 15 tick to 96.45

In my portfolio :

Bought BIDU @ $79.30

Portfolio BIDU,BCSI,EGO,LRCX......

LRCX TAPE is very similar to AAPL,BIDU on day of earning release...went way lower from open on good earning...LRCX got upgraded with $45 target......

EGO ER was a beat on Sales & EPS.......

@ 12.48 following are green :

EGO,POT,AGU,RVBD,IBN,GS,CRUS,
SINA,ABX,SNE,VAR......

FSLR reports AH..it should be a beat

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

one for the money 2 for the show
Look at EGO go!!!

APPLE dropped to a new low I am in at $262.25
$3 drop when this recovers IMHO we may see $300

BIDU is a J Cramer fav. Good Luck, In China it rules.....

AMZN is holding green! EXM is green and DRYS is too.

Hi Madmax,

Thanks for your feedback.

I always look @ technicals before buying..BIDU is rated for a "breakout" @ $81.42 with a target of $88.36 by stockconsultant.com

Are you in AMZN ?

No I just looked at it very hard --but I got apple instead it has an RSI of 50 and target of $319.

I was expecting that Apple had based and would move on up!! Nope, I am not real sharp on technicals and I often era when I use em! My bad

I like the amazon story and the CEO seems way cool.

So did not buy amazon !!I am still doing my DIVIDEND buys

Hi Madmax,

This market is extremely unpredictable....

I try to improve my results by looking @ fundamentals,technicals & most important "recent" TAPE action...then buying decision...
