Market trying to interpret Fed minutes....

Indices were negative prior to the release of Fed minutes.Have gone positive after release....

Fed minutes revealed highly focused & pro-active fed.

Minutes revealed many options left for next round of quantitative easing.

Gold UP $40.20

Oil UP $1.67

Canadian $ Down 27 tick @ 102.15

VIX UP .93% @ 32.58...IF this goes below 30....we should have strong rally ?

Internals of the market is 50% negative

Most of the stocks on my watch list are higher

@ 2.26 following are RED :

JCP,AAPL,GOOG,BAC,CRM,MA,JKS,
C,SNDK,CRUS,FMCN,LDK,SOL,NYX,
GS,VAR.....

In my portfolio :

Sold AUY

Sold AMZN

Sold BIDU

Bought 50% more KGC @ $17.41

Bought BIDU @ $147.90

Bought NFLX @ $233.90

Portfolio is BIDU,KGC,NFLX......

52% exposure.......

Portfolio shuffling was part of my strategy to reduce exposure......All selling was to book gains....

$ weighting is as follows :

KGC 42.76%

NFLX 28.47%

BIDU 28.77%

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

I don't know if you caught my comment on the other post before you made the new one, but I executed my plan of selling today. I actually ended up selling everything except for my microcaps. I didn't like the Fed minutes and sold then, but I probably should have waited just a little longer...it was a great recent run anyways, so I'm pleased :).
