Indices closed UP .05% to .39%.......NICE !!!!

Indices are shooting higher & higher on a daily basis.

This is making many technicians bearish, Carter Worth saying "this is it"

Internals of the market :

UP volume lead by 1.16 to 1 in NYSE & 1.11 to 1 in Nasdaq

Advancing stocks led by 1.03 to 1 in NYSE & .80 to 1 in Nasdaq

New 52 wk highs were in the lead, 163 in NYSE & 99 in Nasdaq

VIX closed UP @ 18.63

Oil closed @ $99.84

Gold closed @ $1741.20

Stocks which were UP 1% or more included COH,OTEX,LEN,FIO,AAPL,
LULU,VMW,BIDU,BWLD,
CRM,V,TSL,JCP,VECO,
CRUS,ARUN,WPRT....

AH ER :

NUAN Down 13.33%

LNKD Down 9.01%

AH Futures Down

AH Asian Markets Mixed

Oil & Gold Down

About Market, there is some crack in the internal of this market, Nasdaq decliners were in the lead when it was stronger than other indices.RSI is in deeply overbought territory. Nasdaq RSI @ 80.81 could spell pain for bulls. VIX was UP today again. My recommendation, book profit & reduce exposure. No need to be smarter than market.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

PS...on Friday, there is only one closing post around 6 PM. I am available for comments during trading hours.

Hey Saleem,

I noticed the poor breath on the NASDAQ also, which is a warning sign. AAPL being such a large component and being up so much skews the overall print.

I'd love to buy some APKT and/or RVBD on some dips :).

Hey c,

I'd buy normal position sizes. I have approximately 40% cash right now, so likely four stocks available for purchase. I will be looking near close for at least 1-2.

stocktrader_1996 said...

Hey Saleem,

I can't believe both RVBD and APKT are up today when I'm trying to buy low...just my luck!

I guess good stocks are good stocks no matter what :).

Hi Stocktrader,

RVBD is trading @ the same level as Oct 2010...17 month low?

APKT trading @ June 2010..21 month low?

Hey Saleem,

Patience is difficult right now when I see so many stocks popping higher. Probably the biggest reason I'm not getting in now is that the $VIX keeps creeping higher still today.

Watching carefully...

Hi Stocktrader,

YES..VIX UP 11%.....& futures are all negative.

Hi Stocktrader,

S&P 500 found support @ 1337.35....it is 5 points above lows....nice strength.

Good luck with APKT.

Hey guys:

here is a thought:
DRONE PROGRAM. I read this week the FAA is issuing Certificates to operators for domestic United States surveillance. There has got to be a lot of money in those manufacturing those drones and the ones operating them.?? a buy??

market is bottomed
Buy some stock now

Hey Saleem,

Bought MU at 7.948.

Looking closely at MET, FCX, CLF. If RVBD pulls back more, I'm interested there also.

I also think the Volcker rule might get watered down, so some of the banks with big markets desks are interesting too.

Hi Stocktrader,

Good luck with MU & other potential buys.
