Indices made a remarkable comeback today & closed near high of the day. Volume was strong on Nasdaq & higher than average in NYSE. Today's close is impressive as weak retail sales & Greece hangover was there.
S&P 500 low today was 1340.83, & closed @ 1350.50
RSI @ 69.64
CMF sloping higher @ 0.482
Internals were :
Down volume led by 1.78 to 1 in NYSE & 1.31 to 1 in Nasdaq
Declining stocks led by 1.74 to 1 in NYSE & 1.65 to 1 in Nasdaq
New 52 wk highs were in the lead, 89 in NYSE & 74 in Nasdaq
VIX closed @ 19.54 UP 2.63%, lost majority of its gains by close, great for bullish picture.
Oil closed @ $100.74
Gold closed @ $1717.70
As you can see, that this market basically went sideways for seven trading days & did not lose too much ground. High was 1354.32 eight trading days ago, low was in 1337.35. We dropped 16.97 S&P points or 1.25% only. In a strong bull market, market may base for week & half in this case & then move UP again. TAPE is ready to take out 1354.32 highs @ open.
On another note, in Canada RIMM tablet Sales have jumped 300% & AAPL share has gone down 20.93% to 68% from 86%. RIMM share went from about 5% to 15%.....I know it is a David & Goliath match up, but nice to see that David is actually not crawling but running. Also there is rumour now that AAPL is coming UP with 7 inch tablet to check RIMM resurgence in that segment. I am not sure how Steve Jobs will take this development, he called 7 inch tablet "dead on arrival". Many hedge funds are "lovi'n RIMM now, putting their millions in RIMM. We may be living in interesting times NOW?

Hi C,
ReplyDeleteI guess most buyers are looking @ specs between ipad2 vs playbook1 & playbook graphics are 1080P & ipad2 is 720P..whatever happened to innovation in second try?..maybe they will get 1080P in ipad3????
I have to watch JTC( jimmy the cramer) video..i dont have CNBC for 3 years now....
Should be a very good day to count$$$$$$$.

ReplyDeleteAn interesting iPad vs playbook comparison you make.
I believe that is all about the price!
Here are some facts: It has A6 processor, . Among other widely speculated beliefs, the display of the iPad 3 is expected to be twice the pixel count of the current iPad at 2048 x 1536 (that’s Retina Display level). The A6 processor is also anticipated to be quad-core, giving the chip a serious boost in processing power. new battery and SIRI voice new camera and flash for it. and have 4G--price will be the key

Hey Saleem,
ReplyDeleteI feel very uneasy about the market today. I'm not sure I will act, but I'm thinking some things through at the moment.
The $VIX being drawn over $20 again is troubling.
Stocktrader
Hi C,
ReplyDeleteI hope your optimism about AMZN works out.
Good luck with your purchase.

Hi Stocktrader,

COH 83.49
LULU 75.67

Moral of the story, better to be lucky than smart????
Saleem
Hey Saleem,
ReplyDeleteSold LEN 24.01, RVBD 28.89, APKT 35.13, MU 8.432.
Checking to see if I should sell anything else (SWC would be a candidate but I'm not allowed yet without putting the whole account on restrictions), but current cash is now 42.1%, which should be enough.
