About market, it is important to follow the TAPE in a strong bull market. Many so-called Gurus are treating this market as IF it was 2008 all over again. When negative news do not take this elevated market down, then it means only ONE thing...we are going HIGHER.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Look at COP
here is J the Cramer's comment.....
Bullish Calls:
ConocoPhillips (COP): "The answer is, you buy, buy, buy...it is about to explode here if oil keeps going higher. COP is for me."
Sold my last shares of LINE
Now I have some cash in my pocket

PS Cramer alos says buy as much of APPLE as you can it is going a lot higher! LOL :)

Hi C,

I agree that AAPL is going much higher, Dan Firzpatrick is eating crow...he is the technical guru which Cramer follows & is part of street.com...he said AAPL going way lower four days ago & Cramer spend 10 mts of CNBC time on it????

My oil play remains CNQ..it should fly shortly.......its dealing with production issues.

Hey Saleem,

Some of the comments from VZ yesterday seemed pretty weak regarding capex spending and then translating to APKT. I'm looking carefully to see if this support level holds else I might let it go.

Hi Stocktrader,

YES...APKT is quite weak today..volume is 700k already....

Bought LEN today.

Good luck with your decision.

Hey Saleem,

Ended up selling at 32.91.

Also, the comment section of your site formatting is not working correctly for me anymore (started yesterday). I'm not sure if it is just my computer or if others are having the same problem.

Hi Stocktrader,

Google has changed their look for comment section, everything else is working.

I am replying with ease as before.

Hi Stocktrader,

Google has added preview in comment section.

Maybe you can delete & add back this site..maybe that can resolve your issue.

Hey Saleem,

It's more that your background and the visually-pleasing formatting doesn't transfer to the comments section like it did before. It is all a squished mess on my screen now. Your main blog looks fine--only the comments section is a problem. I have always had the preview ability, which I use every time :).

Hi Stocktrader,

Comment section is very clear on my screen...background is white.

Dont understand why comment section is jumbled up for you & not me......maybe C or others can give their feedback on comment section.

Hi C,

Google has changed the background only to white & added sign out option on comment section.

LEN is a home builder......they are expected to earn $1.30 this year.....

Shipping is beyond my IQ......

Hey Saleem,

The market internals seem to be deteriorating. I may do some larger selling today.
