Indices closed UP 2.26% to 3.32%...NICE !!!!

Indices are @ their highest level since hitting 1101.......

S&P 500 closed @ 1210.08 which is 109 points higher or 9.9% UP move...

Internals were as listed below:

UP volume led by 34.46 to 1 in NYSE & 43 to 1 in Nasdaq...extremely strong TAPE

Advancing stocks led by 10.43 to 1 in NYSE & 12.85 to 1 in Nasdaq

New 52 wk highs were in lead... 29 in NYSE & 26 in Nasdaq

VIX down 9.27% @ 32.28

SO...everybody feeling good after this UP move.....?

The question we all have to ask.......what changed to support
a 10%++ move ?

Not much.....

Volume today was well below average & below Friday......NOT a good sign based on strong UP move in markets.....again HFT are either short covering or enticing buyers in ?

Based on my personal feel of the market & TAPE...i have more sell order placed ...

IF my sell orders are filled..i will be left with AUY & KGC only......my exposure which went UP to 135% of my normal is already @ 90% with AAPL sale....once my sell of AMZN & BIDU executes, i will be @ 41% exposure...where my comfort level will be high......

Markets are always impossible to interpret, but lately it is more so. I would rather be on the safe side than be @ the mercy of HFT......

Stocks which were UP 4% or more included LULU,APKT,RVBD,
MOS,RIMM,LVS,BAC,VMW,SOHU,QCOM,CRM,M,PLCM,
JDSU,CIEN,FNSR,ARUN,CRUS,SNDK......

AH Futures Down

AH Asian Markets UP

AH Oil UP

AH Gold & Silver UP

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi C,

Thanks for your ongoing best wishes for my health.

Hope Electricity is back ON for you.

Oil may be under pressure as Libyan production hit world market.

Hey Saleem,

The Evans interview on CNBC was disappointing. I hope he's the outlier because I want nothing to do with QE3. In retrospect, the biggest outcome of QE2 was higher commodity prices--nobody wants that kind of "stimulus". Let the real market forces do their own rebalancing over time--that's the best market prescription.

Hope all is well.

Hi Stocktrader,

I do not have CNBC in my TV for almost 3 yrs....saves lot of "freakish analysis"...

Only watch on internet Fast/Mad around 8 PM.....to get a feel for what GENIUS of CNBC are upto ?

Hey Saleem,

I usually find CNBC is great for contrarian analysis :). I do listen to interviews with important members of our economy like the one with Fed governor Evans today.
