Hey Saleem,

Agreed. We shrugged off a lot of bad news overnight to move higher today. I suspect the melt up continues for at least some more days. FIO was the subject of an IBM/SAP bidding war rumor to help move it today:

Valuation of $3.4B is nearly a 50% premium to today's price. The portfolio did well again today gaining nearly 1.5% overall.

Enjoy the market break! :)

Hi Stocktrader,

FIO has good speculative news while OCZ news was a disaster....

Good luck with FIO & your nice portfolio.

Hey Saleem,

I am looking very closely at STLD again. They target the automotive and energy areas which are both doing well in the US. They also benefit from the lower input costs of both iron ore and natural gas.

The chart is decent, especially when compared to other steel stocks. The short interest is surprisingly low at just 2.6% versus 27.6% for X--I consider this to be a vote of confidence from a notoriously skeptically-minded group.

Your thoughts?

Hi Stocktrader,

STLD is performing relatively better in EPS trend & TAPE action.....so it is a BUY...
