About market, European markets closed UP almost 2%. US market is driven by Hedge Funds & Rumour.Latest rumour is being denied AH by last Greek Prime Minister. YES..that is the way US market is behaving.Based on RSI in indices & in strong stocks, it is PRUDENT to look beyond minute by minute GYRATIONS. Stick to your OWN conviction & PRUNE out stocks which is NOT working & does not have big money sponsorship.

Till Q4 it will be tough to make money, but be positioned in stocks where chances of making money is very high. I have rejigged my portfolio big time & am more confident of future gains. Undervalued stocks with question marks are not being given any credence. It is NOT what you think, it is what market thinks under the "current environment." Adapting to "new reality" is key to success on Wall Street.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

I'm looking at CF, AAPL, LEN/TOL, APKT, and FB/ZNGA all up on my board. This is an interesting mix and I think it shows the future growth stocks are being picked out for purchase right now. I'm encouraged by this action despite the huge down day.

Let's see what the rest of the day holds...

Hi Stocktrader,

YES...some stocks are showing "relative strength"...which bodes well for close.
