CMF @ 0.306

RSI @ 67.02

AH ER :

HPQ Down 1.31%

AH Futures Mixed

AH Asian Markets Mixed

AH Gold UP

AH Oil Down

About market, Indices closed down maximum .52%......a very impressive close after being UP for almost eight straight weeks.

CNBC is trying to give air time to same people with their agenda for bringing the market lower. Doug Kass who has been wrong many times since 2009, was given centre stage.

Based on how we closed today, despite Quadruple negative news, there is a good chance that any serious pullback is NOT imminent. There is also a good chance that we may be going towards 1400.

BUT...try to book gains when you see it & rotate into next best ideas.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Good Morning to you

V Good analysis of the market place
CNBC is so slanted--market correction coming up to 10%--come on!

Picking the right stocks is one tough job. FCX is up pre market..
I am thinking that all the oil plays will soar for a while? Now that sanctions are taking hold...

Best to all

Hi C,

CNBC works for agenda driven traders.

FCX is a good stock.

Oil should work.

Good morning Saleem & C.

I too think a correction is coming, but i think it'll be a little shallower, around 3-5% starting sometime next week. After that we have another rally. GLTA.

Long and strong on my AAPL. I was hoping for a divy announcement today, but nothing so far.
