These numbers are extremely bullish, as this leaves lot of room for Chinese Central bank to ease up.

About market, we have gone through a major pullback & it may have run its course. Sentiments is extremely negative which IS a contrary indicator. Even "super bull Jimmy the Cramer" is crying uncle. Expecting a green close for Friday.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi C,

JC was fearful of this market & telling everyone to sell AAPL two days in a row........

Good luck with your sell on BME & RNF...

Hi C,

About selling anything....near low it is prudent to "sell the dogs"..NOT stocks which are performing..imho

That is the reason i sold RVBD NOT APKT....

Food for thought !!!!

S
thanks for that

I guess i should rethink
my ideas

I was looking for some cash nad they are the ONLY two that I own that are positive for me

I held way to long and did not take the profit--last week
FAST MONEY Karen Finerman says apple is a hold for her and is willing to take the pain.

I am so sorry that RVBD did not work out for ya
I will look over my stocks for others to sell

Hi C,

Booking profit when market is higher is a good strategy...

RVBD was a $1 per share loss..TAPE was lousy thus no conviction.

My loss yesterday was 2.5% including currency loss of .5%

Hey Saleem,

Sold TM at 78.80 based on my new expectations of a short-term strengthening yen and fiscal cliff negotiations to hurt confidence.

I am tempted by APKT again. I read that Verizon looks to have its LTE fully rolled out by mid-2013. That would be great news for APKT, although I'm somewhat concerned by their business product sales (which has already been weak), but also their European service provider sales (which was extremely strong in the last Q). Ultimately, I'll watch the technicals on this one--would love a break above $19.

Hey Saleem,

Sold PFPT at 11.77 average. It just isn't acting well enough to justify holding during this tumultuous time and is near a breaking point technically.

Hi Stocktrader,

APKT TAPE has impressed me since earning report...only winner in my current portfolio.

Sometimes TAPE tells me more than what is known by market place...something good happening @ APKT...

Hi Stocktrader,

Good to get rid of dogs near market lows......

Hey Saleem,

Sold FIO at ~22.805. I may actually buy it back later today, but I'm taking the opportunity to sell the stocks not acting well. These recent sells have definitely put me net short now, but my available buying power can quickly fix that if necessary. I can't sell the TZA until Tuesday.

Hi Stocktrader,

I always forget your 3 day rule.....TZA could be in jeopardy by then.....

Good luck with your firepower.
