Indices closed mixed despite Nasdaq selling...NICE !!!!

Indices gave important signal, that market is bifurcating now. Even VIX was unchanged, on the day Nasdaq was decidedly weak.

Major pullbacks happening in AAPL,GOOG,PCLN while Dow was green.

On pullback in Nasdaq, is nothing but a healthy pause in an ongoing uptrend, all three stocks are reflecting earnings related reaction. It is advisable to WAIT until earning release on AAPL & PCLN...

S&P 500 closed @ 1369.57

Oil closed @ $102.93

Gold closed @ $1649.70

VIX closed @ 19.55

Internals were :

UP volume led by 1.08 to 1 in NYSE & .75 to 1 in Nasdaq

Advancing stocks led by 1.32 to 1 in NYSE & 1.09 to 1 in Nasdaq

New 52 wk lows were leading by 1 in NYSE & 4 in Nasdaq

AH Futures Down

AH Asian Markets UP

AH Oil & Gold UP

About market, this was a healthy pullback based on overbought condition, Chinese slowdown & Spanish yield. Every correction runs its course. Market character has changed due to seasonally weak period. Overachievers are relegated to background & new stocks are coming into focus. It looks like a rangebound trading where LOWS & HIGHS of the year may be @ hand until Q3.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Looks like FCX ands SCCO are in a holding pattern for this quarter.

Ask Saleem if selling MS now is a good move!!!!!

I bought MS as a med term trade. So I am NOT concerned about the earnings per say


Saleem
thanks you so much for the note on my health
Life is so short and I will try and live by your words

Hey all, enjoy the rally--I like green for a change

good idea.

If this is a yo yo market, index will be down tomorrow, just my 2 cents. Yes, commodity is hot, and my only holding in this sector, X is up a dollar too. I could have got AAPL at 575 but it pop up too fast for me to lock into that price.

This is the oversold rally I am looking for, and hope it does have leg

GS breaking out of its daily range and seems like it wanted to participate in this rally too. It is good for all financials

c said...

UP

MS has a target of $32.

CNBC is now loving the banks. Especially JPS and CITI and GS.

GS I believe missed on earning but raised divi and guidance was strong..
just look at CITI--yeoh! up 3.50 % huge

My NYB is BLASTING --can't believe that !!

Now if only copper would come out and play
X is up $1.09
