About market, Fed gave market "the biggest surprise of no taper". TAPE was super strong on high volume. Internals improved. Based on RSI booking of profit should be a very high priority, we are going to get "overbought" shortly. Keep RSI in focus in any switch.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

After digesting the news from yesterday, I'm more comfortable with the situation. We should see slightly more inflation (of which we theoretically still need more), but that is well offset by an overall more favorable growth environment. The yield curve should also steepen helping the financials.

The only coming issue might be the debt debate, and the market will surely look to this event at some point. I think today is a day to run higher, and then maybe I'll take some profits tomorrow before the weekend.

Hi Stocktrader,

Good move in booking CLDX profit.

I am glad after evaluating your comfort level remains high.

Hey Saleem,

I put that order in pre-market before I left for 25 minutes. I probably should have held longer--it is showing great strength today!

Hi Stocktrader,

JKS announced asecondary worth $50 million on Monday......i almost bought this before buying ANR...

Hopefully JKS will price their secondary either tonight or Friday AM.

JKS is the only Chinese Solar company which made money in Q2....

Hey Saleem,

As you probably remember, I was heavily into solars a few years ago, but have since moved on. I'm not sure I'll ever go back--it's too much of a commodity, and difficult to judge the desires of nations and their subsidies and trade wars.

That said, they've had an incredible run in the last year, and are still probably heavily shorted. It could still be an explosive trade--good luck! :)

Hi Stocktrader,

YES..we were all into solar & gained some & lost more.....

I promised myself that i will not buy any solar until they are profitable...thus my entry into JKS.

Hi Stocktrader,

Always good to book profit or eliminate weak ones.
