About market, another positive TAPE. Now S&P 500 needs to conquer its all time high which is two points away on a closing basis.There is too much chatter about how good this TAPE is & going straight to 1600 in S&P 500, i am getting extremely uncomfortable with this euphoric talk & going straight UP comments. Complacency is never good & TAPE needs to be closely monitored. We are setting up for a pullback with pundits getting over confident.

Hey Saleem,

Game changers for BAC and MS. I'm trying to carefully think about how/if I can position there for the future.

Hi Stocktrader,

Fed stress test results are extremely comforting for BAC & MS.....

Good luck with your decision.

Hey Saleem,

I ended up trimming some from both PFPT and PANW to buy a full position in BAC. I feel like the spotlight might be shining its brightest on security stocks right now, so I thought it wise to trim some exposure to that area (besides the fact that PANW is really acting poorly given all the good news).

I think the buyback from BAC and its breakout to fresh 52-wk highs can propel the stock even further. Even though I also like MS here, its a little more difficult for me to understand the earnings impact of the capital allocation besides just "good", so I'll have to do more work on it and at the same time try not to get overexposed to financials.
