About market, close has been impressive on a daily basis, which cannot be ignored. TAPE is digesting its gains by sideways movement. I personally believe that, longer the sideways action,
bigger move UP is imminent. Base building for a higher move cannot be discounted.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

Bought my PANW back at 58.6299 and bought some TZA at 17.70. I think I'm going to try the long stock short index strategy again. I like my individual stocks too much.

Hi C,

Good luck with LEN....

The word "dive" denotes @ least 5% down......

Pre-market is never a good way to know the "real direction"......

Hey Saleem,

Bought back my ADNC ~17.42 avg.

Quite a reversal for PANW--I'm glad I had a plan that worked for a change.

Big earnings tonight from CSCO, NTAP, and AMAT.

Hi Stocktrader,

It is extremely hard to know, when any stock has reached its potential gains...but we should be happy in booking gains...as reverse can happen also.

I think that CSCO ER maybe a non-event...in-line & guidance in-line...estimates have come down enough.

OK no dive at all in BIDU
5% --that was my bad--I love it when I learn stuff
When I am wrong and learn what I did I had better not ever make the same mistake twice --so says the Sarge

thanks for your good points-teaching me to to fish for the last 3 years--GREAT for me the grasshopper!
Phew
