About market, TAPE scored a victory by closing green & internals were mostly positive. I was pleasantly surprised @ green close especially when Italy & Germany economic news were dismal. International tensions are still simmering and can explode any time. TAPE is definitely showing great resiliency, which encourages me to see gains ahead barring few dips. When stocks do not go down when everyone expects, then it deserves a second look.

Hey Saleem,

I think tomorrow will be a big day with the ECB being the main attraction (and probably saw squaring of positions today ahead of it).

I had to take kids to the doctor today for the regular checkups. I'm hoping to listen to a replay of the CSOD tonight and see what they had to say.

I listened to the tail end of the AXLL conference call during the morning (again interrupted by kids' duties). They seem to always have something going wrong, either shutdowns or cost pressures or industry weakness. They need to show they can perform better during challenging times.

Hi Stocktrader,

Housing has seen its best days already....now its survival time for them.

TAPE behaved today..hopefully it can show some follow thru on Thursday.

Hey Saleem,

More great data from the US, some industrial upgrades, and a pause in Ukraine tension ramp--it feels like it could be a very good day.

Hey Saleem,

Dabbled back in some housing--jobs are too strong to let the sector stay this depressed.

Bought WLH @ 23.354.
