About market, TAPE is reacting to news both positively & negatively, today it was on the positive side despite poor Chinese data & poor earnings from WMT. US data was well above consensus in terms of manufacturing & unemployment claims ticked down. TAPE is all set to make new all time highs & 14 year highs in Nasdaq. Being in the market has helped those with conviction but stock rotation is in play.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

I'm thinking about adding some coal exposure due to persistently high natural gas prices, and the prospect of another big cold blast next week. I'm looking at CNX as a potential breakout, but BTU possibly for a greater potential return due to beta characteristics.

Hi Stocktrader,

YES..Nat Gas is @ 5 yr high...

CNX is better buy as BTU is lagging big time....

Hey Saleem,

Sold ~half my MOS @ 48.50 for a CNX position @ 40.49. I agree that CNX is the safer play with a better chart.
