About market, Strength of this market was obvious today, as there was NO confirmation of Tuesday's slump. Jimmy the Cramer was red faced / nervous & making excuses about today's rally. Doug Kass made his third weekly appearance to get help for his 4 wk old short. I wonder HOW he keeps coming back on a weekly basis?. Based on the TAPE today, where most Nasdaq high fliers were strong, it seems that shorts have more PAIN in the cards.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

  3. Hey Saleem,

    Sold the CLF 61.40 and SWC 13.00--working on the FCX now.

  5. Hey Saleem,

    Out of FCX at 39.575. I wanted to wait for higher because they clarified the Indonesia divestiture issue, but I'm not sure it can take the market weight.

    WS gonna get MCD
    look at this headlineMarch 8 (Reuters) - McDonald's Corp reported global February sales at established restaurants that missed Wall Street's target, primarily on European weakness, and warned that economic uncertainty could hamper profit growth.

    Shares in McDonald's, one of the top-performing restaurant chains, fell 3.5 percent in premarket trading.

    CNBC still saying market is poor
    I say not
    to me when the TV says a bad market than that
    means the market
    will do the opposite

    Just my .02 cents

    No new positions for me but I may sell COP with a 1% pop that would give me some cash
    thanks again

  14. Hi C,

    AAPL is a very good investment based on my market read....

    You can buy AAPL & let it ride for 1 year......

  15. Hey Saleem,

    It looks we could melt up through close as well as good data from China could help overnight futures. I probably should have held on a little longer, but I got some decent prices. I expect sell on the news tomorrow especially if we are up more this afternoon and futures rise again overnight.

    It is hard to find a good reason to be out of the market right now.
