About market, I am feeling a bit positive about TAPE going into Wednesday. Nasdaq was the-worst performer by shedding 71.50 points or down 1.79% while S&P 500 was down only .98%....this relative strength is encouraging. Nasdaq did react negatively to overbought conditions in two day selling, much of the froth is gone from Nasdaq. Sentiment has also turned negative in a hurry which is a contrary indicator based on my read. We may get technical bounce on Wednesday & may build from there. Fed minutes to be released @ 2 PM should give boost to equities.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

Re-established my CSOD position @ 46.471. I'm going to trust my read and research.

Hey Saleem,

I am pretty pleased with my portfolio right now. None of my companies are very overbought and they play on a strong economy.

I'm still looking for that 250-300K Novemeber jobs report, so I'm positioned for "taper" by focusing on companies that benefit from low commodity prices and consumer and business spending.

Hey Saleem,

I meant low commodity prices but higher consumer and business spending from more jobs and a stronger economy.

Hey Saleem,

I think EXPE looks interesting here based on both valuation and chart breakout potential.
