About market, TAPE struggled before it closed in green in all indices, Nasdaq & S&P 500 closed near high of the day but Dow struggled the most but closed near mid point of the day. We need a confirmation green close to know that TAPE has some buying momentum. There is plenty of trading opportunities while we wait for TAPE to be decisive. It is all about making money not making market prediction a pastime / focus of many.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

You just get the sense this morning that the mood has lifted some. I think it could be a nice outperformance day for the $COMPX again--the selling has finally exhausted itself?

Good luck with GRPN. That company confuses me very much, but the stock is so beat up here.

Hey Saleem,

Portfolio update since I made so many changes already this week:

AAL - 20%
DATA SPLK NOW - 8%
PFPT GM - 7%
YELP - 5%
SGMO - 2%
Cash - 35%

I guess I should have sold GM yesterday along with my other cyclicals but I just thought it was too cheap. Cheap gets cheaper I guess.

Hi Stocktrader,

Thanks for the update of your portfolio weighting.

GM was downgraded today plus being fined ......causing down day.

Hey Saleem,

Yes, I saw that downgrade. When I bought, I thought there'd be more upgrades than downgrades due to valuation and lack of more negative catalysts. Since then, I've seen 2 or 3 downgrades...crazy.
