About market, TAPE continuing its march towards new all time highs in S&P 500 & Dow. Nasdaq continues its selling of high beta stocks again which is a disappointment. Internals were negative also. This is becoming a two sided market & one has to watch where money is put to work. Nasdaq may climb high beta wall of worries & keep moving higher slowly.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

Trimmed M @ 58.79 to raise some cash and after a good, but nothing special, quarter.

Hi Stocktrader,

M Sales were challenged.

Good move in trimming.

Hey Saleem,

My "DATA" indicator is finally flashing positive today, and outperforming every other beta stock I follow besides ZU. I think this finally bodes well--DATA had the best report of the whole group, and needs to be an outperformer for this to be real buying instead of just short covering.

Hi Stocktrader,

Good focus on DATA to give you the latest read on high beta stocks...

Good luck with YELP AND DATA.

Hey Saleem,

Sold the rest of the M @ 57.685. They just don't have anything special and increasingly consumers are looking towards the internet and the individual brand sites to shop. I'm not sure there's as much a consumer tailwind towards a M as I thought--I'd rather be in an RL despite the investments they are making right now depressing earnings given that they are a lasting brand.
