About market, we saw weakening of TAPE right after opening higher, any reversal needs to be taken seriously as it is a major technical indicator of health of this TAPE. We need to monitor close for further clue as to the strength or lack of. Icahn is worried about TAPE also for totally different reason which actually has propelled this market to the highest point in history, his rationale is not based on sound logic. Look for trading opportunities for a quick profit until TAPE is healthier.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

Many of the reversals today were vicious. It will be interesting to see how it plays out tomorrow and Wednesday. One could easily make a case for both outcomes--more downside or quick rebound.

Hi Stocktrader,

YES..next two days of close will give us a clear indication of where we are in this market.

Hey Saleem,

Sold CMI @ 130.431 due to a failure at the 50 DMA and a bad chart setup because of that.

This frees up some money for speculative buys if we sell off hard into close.

Hi Stocktrader,

S&P 500 made a lower low already...not looking good for close.

Hey Saleem,

Sold CLDX @ 24.352 due to market vulnerability and a slipping chart.

Hey Saleem,

I am very tempted to sell RL, but it's barely holding that 200 DMA still.

Hey Saleem,

And...I would have probably sold TXTR and RALY yesterday even, but I'm stuck until tomorrow. By then, I'll probably just keep holding.

Hi Stocktrader,

RL is above 50 & 200...which is promising still....
