About market, TAPE was extremely weak but recovered somewhat by close. Tonight IBD is changing its market outlook to "market in correction". Internals were extremely weak & negative all over. There is too much uncertainty all over which covers Fed future move in upping interest rates & resolution of many international hot spot. Caution is highly recommended, it is a good environment for preserving capital.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

I may have jumped too soon buying a lot back yesterday, but if the Russell outperforms again today (like yesterday), I think we could be ready for a rebound.

Hi Stocktrader,

We are in the process of finding support or it could be a slow grind lower which could be very painful.

Hey Saleem,

Sold GTAT @ 14.685.

Based on their conference call, they still face executional risks despite the rosy outlook. I think this becomes a "wait-and-see" until we see real progress.
