About market, TAPE faced many issues in international arena & US economic strength resulting in possibly early interest rate hike. Argentina spooked this market the-most on "contagion fear". BUT there is some good news on international front, there is 72 hour truce in GAZA. Selling was pretty aggressive & internals got decimated & VIX shot up 27% ...but it is a sign of capitulation which resulted in technical damage to DOW & S&P 500, i am seeing Nasdaq which held up above 50 DMA to take us out of this funk. I do not think that Jobs report will dictate the direction of this market, it is the deeply oversold condition which will bring sanity on Friday.

About market, TAPE was hesitant today in the face of Fed minutes & Argentina's default, Argentina has defaulted on $13 Billion. TAPE internals remains healthy & wants to go higher. Argentina will not affect market momentum. It is a stock pickers market & not all boats are being lifted, so throwing darts will not work in this environment. Know your stocks well or take time off to study fundamental & technical of each stock.

About market, TAPE was under "political sanction pressure plus Gaza fighting". TAPE started green & fought selling but in the end we closed @ low of the day. This negative action will propel this market higher once peace comes to Gaza & non-impact of sanctions are evident". We are building a nice base & making higher lows, so no real technical damage done so far.

Month end buying or selling ?
Here we are approaching end of July......
S&P 500 sitting @ 1978.34, 13 points lower than all time high.
CMF @ 0.203 @ lowest point since mid May, this is a significant stat as it shows money is leaving equities.
Russell 2000 is in serious trouble below 50 DMA & slightly above 200 DMA.....
Fed statement coming out on Wednesday @ 2 PM
Jobs report on Friday @ 830 AM.
Bonds are strong
World politics is @ recent low with conflicts being encouraged all over.
Stiffer sanctions against Russia is extremely bad for Europe's economic well being
All the political figures are "acting tough in their rhetoric"
Diplomacy is taking an "observers role"
World citizens are watching all this with sheer disgust......as they know very well its not a video game.
YES..it is important to factor all of the above when "tensions are being ratcheted up" as it affects investments, economic activity which in turn affects stock market....
SO...all of the above can take this market down in the coming days.....
We may witness month end selling to accelerate going into jobs report.
Fed may also inject fear about economy being better than before, thus invoking fear of interest rate hike earlier than anticipated.
Friday's jobs report may offer positive news as US economy is chugging along nicely.
We are certainly entering a period of pressure on stock market.
This negative bias may not end until end of August.
SO..what does this means in terms of trading ?
Book profit ASAP
Do swing trading or daytrading which may give you some profit IF you know some stocks well.
Otherwise reduce your allocation & go to safer stocks which is "not high beta"
Sometimes, you cannot fight the TAPE......we may have entered such an environment.
Good luck on your own strategy.

About market, TAPE was mixed due to mixed earnings picture & economic data. Tonight earnings are more towards negative which may impact open, it also provides an opportunity to buy some of better performing stocks. This TAPE gives the impression that it may breakdown but before we know it pulls itself together & moves higher. S&P 500 continues to make new all time highs. Swing trading may be the best idea to deal with zig zag in the markets. There is only a closing BLOG on Friday around 730 PM, but i am around for any discussion or opinion.

About market, TAPE is back on track in making new all time highs as evidenced today by S&P 500. I expect indices to keep moving higher on generally good to better earnings report. Being patient in this TAPE has rewarded many either by controlling losses or giving very good gains. Stay diversified with emphasis on large cap techs.

About market, TAPE showed its true character again by erasing most of the losses by close, many traders are too reactive to headlines issues. We should analyze IF the events are going to impact earnings in the short term & most events do not. TAPE may have discounted two of the current boiling points & is ready to show green by Tuesday. Earnings are the big driver again for another move to new all time highs.

TAPE is looking beyond current conflicts......
YES there is Gaza massacre & there is ashes of MH 17...but TAPE is looking ahead to resolution of these disputes in short order.
S&P 500 pulled back 1.65% @ its low, while Nasdaq lost 2.25%, this is remarkable considering worldwide serious issues.
S&P 500 is giving a clear picture of finding higher support & should move to 2000++ area.....
Earnings so far has exceeded expectations which is a very good sign for bulls......
Big cap stocks are in vogue these days & has established leadership position, they are in "breakout mode"
This TAPE is the best TAPE i have observed with small periodic pullbacks.
It is important to maintain exposure & booking of profit is a good idea to buy other bargain stocks.
Even in techs there is rotation, cloud is a bargain now vs being overbought & extended before.
Oil stocks have been the-best performing group to the surprise of me & many so called market timers & seasonality junkies.
Gold Stocks are a good hedge & have broken out, small exposure of 5% to 10% is not a bad idea.
SO....stay engaged in this TAPE & go where money flow is.....

About market, TAPE was weak thanks to many geo-political aggression & tension being ratcheted UP. The good news is that internals capitulated today in a hurry as selling was extreme. I do not expect things to go from bad to worse in world politics or in markets. I am expecting a "green close on Friday"...sorry to Jimmy the Cramer who was panicking today. This TAPE has so much strength otherwise we should have seen 3% drop easy on heightened tension in Gaza & Ukraine.

Thursday before Option expiry is unpredictable as market makers are in total control & will take most stocks @ certain strike price of their liking. Earnings tonight are sloppy & may put pressure in certain sectors unless analysts come to their rescue by upgrading or defending those stocks.

About market, TAPE got a boost before open from GS after they raised S&P 500 target to 2050. Tomorrow Janet Yellen has testimony & market will pay close attention to Q&A. This Friday is monthly & weekly Option Expiry which results in a slanted market on MM positioning for Thursday, either sharply UP or Down. So far internals are off to a solid start. Monitor this TAPE closely & go with the flow, but i have my trigger on locking profit if RSI turns close to 70.

About market, TAPE got a boost before open from GS after they raised S&P 500 target to 2050. Tomorrow Janet Yellen has testimony & market will pay close attention to Q&A. This Friday is monthly & weekly Option Expiry which results in a slanted market on MM positioning for Thursday, either sharply UP or Down. So far internals are off to a solid start. Monitor this TAPE closely & go with the flow, but i have my trigger on locking profit if RSI turns close to 70.

TAPE to stay in neutral to negative mode for rest of summer ?
TAPE has entered a neutral to negative mode for rest of summer.
Earnings expectations are too high for Sales & EPS.....
Many traders & hedge funds are sitting out this market for now....
Markets are considered "too high" & vulnerable to "severe downward push"
Carl Icahn / Carter Worth are warning about this market....
VIX is spiking...a sign of trouble ahead
Geo-political tension is spiking to dangerous level in Gaza, Iraq, Ukraine.....
When markets are @ lofty level everything matters......
I see this summer as quite troubling for this market....
TAPE may not improve until 2nd week of October ?
SO......what to do & how to deal with all of the above...
Strategy needs to be adjusted immediately....
What worked before is extremely vulnerable now
What did not work before may offer hope
Swing trading may be the best idea going into October....
Neglected stocks / sectors may come to life......
Gold / Silver may be the biggest beneficiary of summer issues.....
Increasing or adding Gold / Silver exposure may be the best idea i can come up with.....
It is OK to have 1 or 2 stocks going forward until there is clarity about technicals....

About market, Today TAPE gave another chance to buy the dip or hold all your position but unfortunately many panic in these situation & sell on fear. It is safe to say that there were more than few issues troubling the market like Fed governor contradicting Fed minutes, Chinese weakness, European weakness plus side show of Portugese bank. In the last 4 trading days of pullback Dow lost 1.58%, S&P 500 lost 1.65% & Nasdaq got pummeled with 3.00% loss. My guess for this pullback was 3% which has been achieved by Nasdaq, not all indices have to go down the same %. We are all set to recover from 4 day of selling & should see a strong close on Friday. For many BLOG visitors who are new, please note that there is only a closing BLOG on Friday around 730 PM, but i am around for any comment or my take.

About market, TAPE was green from open & closed near high of the day. Internals recovered from yesterday's drubbing. TAPE action was stable enough today to hope for a follow up gain on Thursday which will confirm this rally. Staying diversified is the right way to go & having conviction in your pick is a good strategy.
