About market, I am sure many traders were surprised that there was no real follow thru from Friday as Monday new fund flows into market. Also US Debt rating upgrade was ignored as non-event. When indices do not react to a major news, it is time for caution. It is important to see how we close on so-called turnaround & super-bullish Tuesday.....that will be a tell tale of this TAPE.
BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,
ReplyDeleteSold DXJ @ 44.97. I wish I would have been able to sell yesterday but was on restrictions still.
I wanted to get back to stock picking instead of Japanese markets and currency, especially as people are questioning the ability of the BOJ to push any further.
Beyond that, I was worried that the volatile currencies were affecting some Japanese companies' profitability, so this is probably just a good exit after a quick 3.7% run.

Hey Saleem,
ReplyDeleteIt was only 48 hours to sell because I raised the funds for the purchase on the day prior (if you were wondering).

Hi Stocktrader,
ReplyDeleteI note most of your buy & sell & it gives me a good idea that you are "in compliance".....
