About market, as RSI in S&P 500 has reached 61.05, it is time to plan trading strategy as we head higher or go on overdrive on Fed statement or deal. The way i will do, is monitor my individual stocks RSI if they are above 60 & see IF they are vulnerable to profit taking or to be sold for other lagging value. This is strictly a trading approach nothing to do with bullish bias i have for near term.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

I might be a little late to the party, but I'm looking at the financial space as they tend to do better in rising rate environments. Targets include BAC, JPM, PRU, and AIG.

Hey Saleem,

Actually, I have so many ideas in my head right now...TM back in play with the yen weakening against the dollar despite the Fed news.

Hey Saleem,

Trimmed a little GGC at 45.07 due to the upcoming uncertainty regarding the merger/purchase transaction. Bought some ELOQ at 18.00 with the cash.

Hey Saleem,

I sold the rest of the GGC at 44.816. I'm just not sure how this pending transaction will play out so I'd like to play it safe for now. Additionally, GGC is up a lot this year so it is susceptible to tax gain selling. The transaction uncertainty is the bigger motivating factor however.
