Indices closed down .38% to 1.04%.....

Indices were dealing with economic data & commentary from Fed...neither of which were encouraging...BUT...indices held up much better .....

Internals were weaker than indices for two days in a row...a healthy retracement.....

Nasdaq has been the weakest ......

In my portfolio :

Sold VXX

Portfolio is BCSI,EGO,LRCX....

Sentiment is turning bearish again as Doug Kass went neutral,Brian Kelly adding shorts,Dennis Gartman in panic & Joe Terranova is short gold......I love doing opposite of CNBC gurus....

AH NVDA warned Down 6.81%..AH volume 4.24 million

AH AKAM ER was a downer..Down 5.06%..AH volume 1.57 million

AH LRCX Q4 ER was a major beat on Sales & EPS..guidance for Q1 was way better than consensus as listed below :

Sales.... consensus $669.7 million.... Guidance $790 million..guidance higher by $120.3 million

EPS.... consensus 98 cents...guidance $1.35....guidance higher by .37 cents

AH stock UP 34 cents..AH volume 30,649....expect many upgrades & good TAPE action on Thursday...

Before Open EGO reports...EPS should be above consensus & guidance as per consensus....

AH Futures Mixed

AH Asian market Mixed

AH Oil Down

AH Gold UP

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Madmax,

Thanks for your feedback.

It is a stock pickers market....knowing individual companies well should pay off...

Now..it is different..all boats are not being lifted..contrary many boats are sinking....

I decided to go with BIDU instead of AAPL today.....

ASIA is beaten down a lot today. Is ths over reaction or a good entry.

I like IPI and CSTR.

Hi Raj,

ASIA guidance must be the trigger for this $6+ downdraft....

Yes..it is overdone.....

Market is very choppy & does not like lackluster guidance..especially that ASIA was moving up in anticipation.
