Indices closed UP .65% to 1.10%......NICE !!!!

All indices made another higher highs.

S&P 500 went to 1266.73, closing @ 1257.08

RSI closing @ 57.89, during the day it came close to 60.

Internals of the market were as follows :

UP volume led by 3.62 to 1 in NYSE & 3.55 to 1 in Nasdaq

Advancing stocks led by 3.46 to 1 in NYSE & 2.30 to 1 in Nasdaq

New 52 wk highs were in the lead, 112 in NYSE & 59 in Nasdaq

VIX closed UP .51% @ 27.66

Oil closed @ $100.99

Gold closed @ $1734.50

Stocks which closed UP 1% or more included M,RIMM,RVBD,
CNQ,CLF,COH,SNDK,MGA,CMG,TCK,GS,FCX,AGU,SU,
VMW,FFIV,CRM,JCP,MS,C,ARUN......

Reason for my major sell was to lock profit.

S&P 500 has gone UP from 1158.66 to 1266.73 in a straight line, a gain of 108.07 points or 9.33% in six trading days..this sharp move UP needs rest, as its overbought.

CMF is RED in all indices......

Many of the proposals about EU meeting is well known to markets & has been the catalyst for this huge move.

Once we have gone through another base building, then this rally should resume. Any rally should be used to lighten up to lock gains or to prevent further losses.

Ironically, Jimmy the Cramer is saying sell sell sell again after his last week sell sell sell...so he is directing traders to sell who were out of this rally as per his previous sell sell sell....no wonder he calls his show "entertainment"

  2. Hey c,

    My timing was unbelievably horrible on the FRO sell. I literally almost ran out of time selling it on Friday--I think it executed with about 5 seconds left in the trading day! I wish I'd found reason to just wait.

    There is a small amount of solace in knowing my thesis for holding had merit, but I've moved on...

    I like flat opening days because the truly good stocks show themselves :).

  3. Hey Saleem,

    I took my profits this morning on GLNG--the candlesticks show almost no accumulation despite the nice run from my $38.81 entry a couple weeks back. I've found this to be dangerous in the past.

    Now I have a little dry powder :)

    My dry powder was quickly deployed! Bought COH at $63.70--I really like the price action recently and today also.

    COH is definitely among "stronger stocks"

    Good luck with COH.

  11. Hi Up,

  12. Hi C,

    Nasdaq is "weak" today...that is why most large caps are down....

  13. Saleem,

    I trust your day is going well thus far! You have been a truly warrior in this market turmoil since you keep fighting and wining. Your timing was right with selling more than half of your portfolio.

    CLF is looking good lately.

    PCLN seems weak. It might break to the down side?

    BIDU is not holding well.

  14. Hi Michael,

    Thanks for your compliment !!!

    I try very hard to understand TAPE which is very difficult.

    PCLN has not behaved well since earnings...BIDU is so so.....

    That is the reason, as to why i am not adding in PCLN & BIDU.....

    Easy money has been made, now it will be TOUGH.....

  15. Hi C

    I keep hearing China grow is slowing down, maybe that is the reason it doesn't behave well. But in the other hand, U>S is getting better, so I think it is better to buy our stock instead of Chinese

  16. Up and all

    BIDU
    is an aggressive stock
    It is very easy to get it on the wrong side and feel the down side pain.
    As for China BIDU is best of breed for China stocks.
    I would think that China will stimulate consumption and keep pumping it economy......We sold our tiny house there at a huge profit as my wife said time to sell... Yes, China had a real estate bubble.... China is a power house but it is impossible to time it correctly..

    I agree with Saleem, easy money has been made in this current market?

    Hoping for some Europe news that is positive to propel US higher.....

    AG is rally, is that mean we are at the end of this massive rally since dogs always get in late before the storm

  21. Hey c,

    GNK is doing nicely today--it is a very hard stock to figure out, but I'm comfortable with my half position currently (although it moves twice as fast as other stocks anyways!).

  22. Hi Up,

    NO..market should move higher by year end....it needs to digest huge gains....

    AG stocks have been among the-weakest group..nice to see life in it.
