About market, by close TAPE gave a clear message that it has lot of buying momentum still. Even CMF ticked UP to 0.138. S&P 500 made a higher low also from Friday. I am still planning to do major selling, once i feel that we are hitting resistance. This becomes subjective & is TAPE driven.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hello to all

Good morning Saleem

I sold my AUY yesterday as I was 50% over exposure....Now I am at 21% in my cash account
IRA I can not leverage.

Still working on changing brokers!
I have 4 income funds that I like a lot
the rest of money is in equities.
Still own CNY, MS, APPL and BIDU

APPLE may be ready for a huge breakout
Dunno but it keeps me in the game buy price was $606

Lets giddy up BIDU!! show us the money

Hey Saleem,

Sold NOW at $33.19025 avg. I felt it had run enough for now, especially with the lack of short interest to drive further upside.

Hey c,

AAPL has been fantastic! As soon as the iPhone 5 launch was "confirmed" for Sept (Q3) instead of Oct (Q4), the stock has been on a tear because suddenly this quarter's earnings are going to look great! :)

I'm actually starting to sell some of my other stocks though. Something just doesn't seem right in the market.

Hello

most propel are a lot smarter then I

IMHO, as the market sentiment become more positive thinking the market has gone up
now we are all leaning to a negative bias--Not so
yet
we got more life coming
But timing the market was never my strong suit
I did sell my AUY as I had to reduce exposure too,

I got negative vibe that says market is over bought!!!!! What us go higher

Thanks for your APPLE comments but hte iTV is coming soon and that with the iPad mini coming this will push earnings higher too

Hey Saleem,

I've also sold GWAY, ADNC, SPLK, and PANW today. I'm really trimming back...

Hey Saleem,

Also sold the CLF and SWKS. I'm on restriction for ELOQ and FIO until tomorrow. I'll probably sell the PFPT, but I'm waiting to see if something interesting happens today.
