Today indices are UP 3.38% to 3.47% based on many positive developments around the world.
First, China is trying to stimulate its economy by reducing bank reserve requirement by .5%. This is the first reversal in two years.
Second, world Central banks are creating liquidity to the global financial system.
Third, ADP Jobs data was showing strength in Job creation.
Fourth, Chicago manufacturing activity is UP again.
Fifth, housing data is also showing pulse....
All of the above, is creating the biggest short squeeze which i was hoping for.
Our know it all Guru Jimmy the Cramer is calling the above moves as foolish, his short plus sell, sell, sell strategy is making him a "laughing stock of CNBC".......a guru who does NOT follow TAPE but tries to tell TAPE what to do...NEVER works

Saleem,
I just bought PCLN. I think it will run back to 560s.

Hi Michael,
PCLN has built a strong base since reporting...it is still my largest position...have not sold a single share.
Good luck with PCLN & your portfolio.

Hey Saleem,
Great day!
I managed to slightly outperform the S&P despite being underweight at open.
The best thing about days like this are the days afterwards when most of the high-beta/small cap stocks really outperform the broader market in a risk-on chase.
Sold the rest of the RVBD to pick up SWC as I felt I was too underweight commodities given China's new attitude. I made a lot of portfolio moves today on the fly which is always dangerous, so tonight and tomorrow I'll look more carefully to make sure my exposures are where I want them.
Congrats on what I'm sure was a stellar day for you! :)
