About market, technically indices are in a major uptrend. Indices do not make multi-year highs in isolation, it is happening, because there is support in TAPE. I know many pundits are wishing European PMI will take this market down, BUT this TAPE is capable of gathering steam when nobody is expecting.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi C,

Hey Saleem,

I'm very tempted to sell CF ahead of earnings. What do you think?

Hope all is well--I've got a sick house :(.

Hi Stocktrader,

Based on POT & MOS earnings, it will be wise to reduce risk by selling ahead of ER...especially when you have profit to book.

Hope your family get well quickly.
