About market, TAPE today gave a solid confirmation of huge UP move on Friday. Internals were strong. Many skeptics are pinning their hope on a weak jobs number on Friday, but weaker jobs number may not give the reaction they are hoping for, Weak ISM number did not create any reaction for more than 30 minutes.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

Chinese non-manufacturing PMI came in at 56.7 in June versus 55.2 in May, confirming the health of the consumer there and their overall transition to a more consumption-based economy, which obviously will be in progress for a long time.

Hi Stocktrader,

Chinese economy is transitioning from worlds factory to more internal consumerism.

Chinese Q3 GDP will be back to growth mode with internal growth.

Hey Saleem,

Commodities on fire again. I'm itching to get back into some of those names, I just haven't decided where exactly...

Also, that recent IPO ServiceNow (NOW) looks very attractive from a future growth perspective. I may add that soon.

Hey Saleem,

Yes, both copper and coal have rebounded nicely, benefitting TCK in both ways. Does it have the CAD currency translation benefit also?

Hi Stocktrader,

CAD is improving which should help TCK in its currency gains.

Hey Saleem,

Sold WWWW at 18.80321 average. The chart has been bothering me for a few days now, and I've always been suspect of the relatively low barriers to entry in the business. At the very least, I'll let the stock rest a while, or maybe I'll use the funds for another situation I find.
