About market, S&P 500 missed making new 52 wk high by 55 tick. Thursday could be the day for new 52 wk high in S&P 500. We are near high end of this trading range. Booking profit is highly desirable. IF we break to the upside, it should be a fast ride near 1500. Round number generally becomes resistance point.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

Nice buy on BAC--I'm surprised at the reaction today so far, but the day is young still and overall the earnings power should continue to improve with the improving economy.

I actually made my FFIV call over APKT--something about that company bothers me, but so far every time I think the stock might break down it rallies to new highs!

I'm still holding CF because I really believe in lower commodity costs for them coupled with massive cash flows for stock buybacks. A lot of analysts have been lukewarm on the stock recently though, so I wonder how it will look going forward.

As for YHOO, I can't get my head around their potential upside so I'm missing out, but clearly Marissa Mayer is the real deal! :)

Hi Stocktrader,

Thanks for your analysis on APKT & YHOO.....

APKT has surprised me big time with its positive technical action..it is working to break out AGAIN.....

BAC has been stellar in its UP move...

YHOO has been a solid performer & i do not see it changing anytime soon....
