About market, it is all about jobs report consensus is / was 190K to 195K, yes it was the higher number before. I think jobs number may be well below consensus, 160K is what i think. IF that is what it will be, then indices may be in for a rough opening. FFIV warning is more of a pattern for well known tech companies. I will highly recommend not to have "popular Techs" in your portfolio @ earnings time.This market from April to October may serve you better if you are in boring & hated names. My portfolio reflects that thinking.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Next post around 7 PM on Friday....there is only 1 closing post on Friday, but i am available for any question or comments whole day.
