About market, we are deeply oversold & market is still ignoring many positive economic news. Sometimes market may be anticipating event which may not be priced in. May has certainly surprised all of us with deepest pullback since last year, so far we are down 6.61% since April 2012. An oversold bounce is imminent.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi C,

What goes DOWN must come UP......is the rationale behind investing.

Gradually we build strength.

Hey Saleem,

Now that Greece is going back to elections, they can be out of the headlines for a month?

Looking good so far today--hope it holds :)

Hi Stocktrader,

Angela Merkel statement that they want to keep greece in EU is making a huge difference...

Hey Saleem,

I'm not sure it's up to her--it really seems like it will come down to the elections next month and how hard Greece wants to renegotiate the bailout and/or threaten leaving. Of course Germany wants Greece in the euro--it's keeping it nice and weak for German exports.

The question is what I do with my commodity losers. I keep thinking China will stimulate more especially during their political transition this year, but I'm not sure it matters enough given how sluggish growth will continue to be for quite a while in many places in the world. Add in the extremely cheap valuation and I have a dilemma.

Hi Stocktrader,

Chinese growth is projected to be 7%....that is their target.....which is way down from 11% before....that IS the reason all commodities are in deep downtrend......i have expressed this for many months....

Price action for months needs to be taken seriously.....
