Nasdaq closed UP .22%.......NICE !!!!!

Indices took a rest today waiting for Job creation data @ 830 AM.

Nasdaq closed UP, while Dow & S&P 500 were slightly lower.

Internals were mostly negative.

VIX continue to drift lower, now @ 27.41.

Jobs expectations are overall 125,000 new jobs, while private sector prediction is 150,000 job creation.....these numbers looks lofty but we may come pretty close.....which will be a big relief to the markets.

AH ER ULTA Down .57%, AH low $65.33, AH high $69.78, last trade @ $68.10. AH volume 332,719.

LULU TAPE was very interesting today, published numbers were weak, but @ conference call everything was explained & remained bullish for Q4 & 2012. LULU low today was $41.70, closing @ $47.17 a jump of $5.47 during the day. Volume was 28.9 million shares, almost 7 times average .

CMF in LULU jumped to positive 0.236 which is highest since Sep 2011 highs.......nice technical action.

Here is my portfolio ranking based on closing value, which is different from $ allocation:

LULU 14.28%

PCLN 13.85%

AUY 13.66%

RVBD 10.25%

BIDU 8.90%

CLF 8.49%

SNDK 7.07%

M 6.99%

COH 5.92%

LVS 5.30%

CNQ 5.29%

PS..although my $ allocation is highest in PCLN, but its performance has made it #2, while LULU which had lower $ allocation than PCLN, but has moved ahead with today's close.
