Saleem,

JKS was at 41 not long ago. Started a small position in JKS at 25.5. Today is not too bad. FFIV was showing strength. BIDU has been a little weak lately. AGU behaved very well with a downgrade at pre-market. Overall, I am happy, since the artillery attacks from North Korea did not do much damage to my portfolio. However, I have sympathy for those lost Korean soldiers. I am watching AAPL for a good entry point.

Thanks for the new position in JKS.

Saleem,

Do you know much about David Rosenberg and his credibility? According to David, the market will retrace till the end of the year....

"Based on momentum and sentiment extremes achieved at the nearby highs, it seems likely that the stock market will be on a declining path, at least through year-end," David Rosenberg, economist and strategist at Gluskin Sheff in Toronto, wrote in his daily analysis.

Rosenberg cited five factors conspiring against the markets: China monetary tightening amid inflation fears; a rescue plan for European debt not working; fiscal austerity in the US with the political change coming when the new Congress takes over in January; gasoline price hikes; and questions over whether a slew of tax breaks will be extended.

An intensification of even a few of those factors likely would further dampen investor enthusiasm for the market.

"Most pundits believe we are in a cyclical bull market but that is not the case-it has been a sideways market now for over a year," Rosenberg said. "Moreover, after testing support in July, the market hit resistance levels in November, so it would seem logical to expect the index to make a run at the low end of the range. The only question is whether support will hold up once again."

According to him, it seems that we would see S&P @ 1010 again.
