Indices closed UP .07% to .32%.....NICE !!!!!

Indices kept marching UP, making new multi-year highs in DOW & S&P 500.

S&P 500 closed @ 1436.56

RSI @ 65.99

CMF @ 0.141

Internals were :

UP volume led by 1.77 to 1 in NYSE & 1.66 to 1 in Nasdaq

Advancing stocks led by 1.90 to 1 in NYSE & 1.44 to 1 in Nasdaq

Net new 52 wk highs were leading by 230 in NYSE & 67 in Nasdaq

VIX Down 3.72% @ 15.80

Oil Down @ $97.01

Gold Down @ $1733.70

Stocks which were UP 1% or more included LVS,LEN,SNDK,AUY,
GG,CMG,AAPL,LNKD,
FB,AGU,NTES,V,ZNGA,
MU,BRCM,C...

AH Futures UP

AH Asian Markets UP

AH Oil UP

AH Gold Down

About AAPL, iPhone5 was unveiled & it was acceptable based on delivering as expected. Stock went UP based on its flawless execution, product announced on Wednesday & delivery starts on Friday...that is exceptional.

About market, Ben Bernanke takes the stage, statement @ 1230 PM & Forecast @ 2 PM with Q&A. Based on TAPE & momentum, I expect either a newer approach or further extension of current policy, which should be enough to keep this rally going. Fed mandate is about economy & Jobs, both are weak & can get weaker, thus Fed intervention will not be a surprise. Expect rally to continue.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

Sold the MLNX at 101.50--I'm just too highly uncomfortable there. Just my luck it will be up $10 now today haha!

Hey Saleem,

Bought more TZA at 14.67--that should be enough for now and I'll watch to see things develop.

Hi Stocktrader,

Afternoon will be very interesting..but i am @ my doctor from 1.30 PM onwards.

Good luck with your full position on TZA.

Hey Saleem,

Hope everything checks out great at the doctor!

I suspect we get a major selloff by the end of tomorrow hence my positioning. I think the overall selloff will be worse if the Fed actually *does* do QE today. The action specifically today could be opposite the read tomorrow, so I'm careful not to judge based on today's reaction to the Fed--tomorrow will be the real "tell".

All my opinions of course.

Hi Stocktrader,

It is my annual visit to the doctor to renew prescriptions.....not a great believer in over-monitoring & un-necessary testing.....

I am into vitamin therapy for my health..so far its working.....

My doctor is not happy with my 1 visit per year..he loves to see me every week..never happened....

I think market goes higher from here.......

Hey Saleem,

If what you are doing therapy-wise is keeping you healthy, then there isn't much he can say!

Glad to hear things are overall going well with health :).

Hey Saleem,

Sold SNDK at 44.84. I find it concerning that MS raised the price target to $52 and yet the stock is down on an up day. I wonder if the Toshiba news from two days ago is finally impacting?

Also, given that we question OCZ's execution, maybe the NAND flash situation isn't as tight as they made it sound? Overall though, it's the price action that tells me something might be "off".

Hi Stocktrader,

SNDK high from yesterday is $45.47...i expect it to go through that after Fed statement....

There was some Put activity on Tuesday @ $45 strike.....

I am watching SNDK closely & see how it goes after 1230 statement......

Hey Saleem,

Bought more TZA at 14.45--missed my 14.35 by half a second.

Hey Saleem,

Very powerful statement. I may have been hasty in the last round of TZA buying--I'll know by tomorrow.

Hey Saleem,

Sold PFPT at 15.66118 after a nice run recently.

Hey Saleem,

I still managed a 0.6% overall portfolio gain despite the large hedge. Obviously, that is disappointing, though. I will be interested to see the market moves tomorrow.
