About market, TAPE is trying to make a move higher, but Europe seems to be keeping a lid. Today's close was constructive considering "mother of all earning reports was a downer". I am strategically adding when possible. Once we come out on the other side, we may find much higher level.

Hey Saleem,

I think tomorrow is a very key day. After bouncing off the 50 DMA two days in a row now, either we'll move decisively up or down in my opinion.

For now my hedges are staying on, but I'm getting a bit antsy with them. It certainly seems like we are daily absorbing new bad news and I'm not sure how much more can really come.

CLF might be an interesting play tomorrow. Given how bad everyone expected earnings and guidance, I thought it was actually ok. I might use my remaining cash to pick up some if the price is right, although I still find iron ore highly suspect.

Hi Stocktrader,

After oversold condition normally TAPE drifts towards overbought condition...reasons are just an excuse.

Hey Saleem,

POT also got downgraded to underperform from a Canadian brokerage house today on earnings which solidified my thoughts on it.

Bought CLF at 38.3399.

Hey Saleem,

Sold my ERY hedge. All this talk of world stimulus plus underperformance today tells me this is not the right hedge. I am tempted to buy another coal or oil stock, but I'll take a moment to pause and let things shake out.

Hi Stocktrader,

Taking time to think about next move is the right approach.
