About market, Internals of the market were much weaker than indices.I think we need several days of downside action to get rid of "froth" from indices. Today CMF has come down also. A healthy market is which corrects 40% to 50% of its UP move. It does not have to happen in one down move but may take several week in steps to do that. We had a major move UP, its time to digest those gains.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

Bought NUE at 39.25 with the half position I had available. The pre-announce looks good compared to what some might be expecting. If this level holds, it might set up a breakout above $41.

Hi Stocktrader,

Saw that pre-announcement from NUE...looks reasonably better than what it could have been ...

Good luck with NUE.

Hey Saleem,

You sound just like me! I can't help but be involved in companies I feel have potential, so I don't usually sit on the sidelines for long...

Good luck with the moves! :)

Hey Saleem,

I'm starting to see the buy programs fade more quickly. Also, the small caps are lagging today. I think we have a downside leg coming.

I guess my trigger finger said take the profits and run--keep the stinkers for a while longer and the closed end funds pay me to wait it out

For now I will watch and try and learn.
I am expecting gold and silver to go up and a correction.--Lets see if I got it right
Comments appreciated =by all!
VB to all

take a look at WHZ, SULV, SUGD, GGN seem like safe moves??
