About market, TAPE continues to be sloppy, Nasdaq down 3 day's in a row. Friday could be another sloppy day due to weekly option expiry, high beta may show weakness. On the positive side, we have been weak for many days so we are ready for a "technical bounce".

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

To some degree, I think DATA is a key to this high beta market. The reported quarter and guidance were amazing. If DATA can't go higher, none of them can.

Hey Saleem,

Yes, I think they have also, but I still think watching DATA is important for directional indicators.

Hey Saleem,

I actually forgot about WLH until this morning, but results were good and the conference call was optimistic (continuing the theme of many homebuilder calls versus some of the data we've seen).

Hi Stocktrader,

WLH report is a welcome change from the gloom we have been hearing.
