About market, TAPE has been basing around these level since second week of July, TAPE is trying to work out overbought conditions. Today's TAPE is extremely encouraging based on internals, VIX & Nasdaq defied "crash & deep correction pundits". I am expecting a positive TAPE until close.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

Bought PRU @ 80.20 to increase exposure to higher yields. I'm not sure I made exactly the right move, but wanted to buy something on the morning weakness given I expect the market to head higher by close.

Hey Saleem,

Yes, we are both too bullish early in the morning!

In these grinding bulls, you always have morning selloffs with people overnight thinking they should sell, followed by grind higher throughout the rest of the day as sellers are gone, initial shorters have to cover, and institutions come in to select names. I always forget that dynamic and often get poor buy entries.
