Market fighting "wall of worries".....

Market was given many "suckers punch" to test its strength...

First it was weak earning reports from AAPL,IBM,VMW & BAC.....

Second China raised interest rates by .25% to check borrowing....lending rate now is 5.56% & savings rate is 2.5%....

All commodities are taking it on the chin......

S&P 500 went down to only 1166.92 and now is fighting back to current level of 1176.45 in 2.5 hrs..

Market definitely is giving a clear signal that these slumps are a "buying opportunity"

Gold Down $29.80

Oil Down $1.83

Canadian $ Down 1.18 cent to 97.12..Canadian Central Bank left interest rate unchanged & is citing weakness in growth.....

VIX UP 2.72% @ 19.61......

In my portfolio :

Bought BIDU @ $100.84..BIDU reports AH Thursday..expecting beat & guide UP....

Portfolio is LVS & BIDU....

Most stocks are Down....

@ 12.10 following are Green :

POT,JKS,MA,V,GS,PMI,SNDK,BAC,
CTRN,ICE,NTES....

AAPL price target was raised by many analyst this AM......

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.
