Market is in typical summer doldrums, looking for catalyst to move in either direction.
Internals are negative minimum 4 to 1...
New 52 wk lows are in the lead, in Nasdaq 40 made the list..
Market is trying to go green, which should bolster bulls.....
Oil Down $1.01
Gold UP $27 to close @ record $1785
Canadian $ Down 40 tick @ 101.65
VIX UP 3.17% @ 32.88..still high ..BUT running out of gas ?
In my portfolio :
Bought LULU @ $55.10
Portfolio is LULU,RVBD,AUY...
Here is my $ weighting :
LULU 54.22%
RVBD 30.37%
AUY 15.41%
My exposure is @ 48% of normal
Most stocks are down..
@ 2.14 following are green :
PHYS,GLD,JKS,VAR....
BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.
PS...Many thanks for all the wishes, for my speedy recovery.

Hey Saleem,
It is easy to see negative signs when one is short, and easy to see positive signs when one is long. I added to my QID today given the NASDAQ underperformance, but I am heavily weighted towards a bearish thesis now having basically only UGL and QID--I don't like it...thoughts?

Hi Stocktrader,
Some trader do very well in shorting stocks or playing double bear ETF.....
BUT..those position needs to be closed daily..or else it becomes a major stress....
I am comfortable in reducing my exposure in this negative market.
Where market will go nobody knows..but as we go lower..the chance of rally increases.....
My 2 cents !!!!

I believe tomorrow will be a key indicator of future direction. I will definitely cover the shorts if we show strength tomorrow after the European "news" is digested by Asian/European markets.
I might hold the gold regardless, though. It has gone up nicely both yesterday and today during an up and down day. What can make gold go down?

Hi Saleem,
So I had RVBD and SVM sold them both early morning and I am glad I did, saved a few percent, I also bought LULU near the close. I don't sit in front of a computer all day but I can check it over lunch and in the morning before work.
What do you use to monitor all the stocks? Is there a website that is good? right now I am just using goole finance, seems to work fine but just wondering if there is a better solution? Thanks for suggestions.
