About market, TAPE was negative again & internals were negative across the board, Hong Kong and weaker US stats is causing concern about the strength of this economy & economy worldwide. Chinese PMI data for September came in @ 51.1% same as August. Chinese economy along with Europe is becoming a concern. BUT TAPE is getting "extremely oversold" and may snapback sharply.
BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,
ReplyDeleteI'm also thinking about companies like SPLK and PFPT which should be insulated from the global economic worries and are entering their usually very strong Q4. I think both charts, especially SPLK, have positive elements during this difficult $RUT time.

Hi Stocktrader,
ReplyDeleteGood luck with SPLK and PFPT.

Hey Saleem,
ReplyDeleteBought SPLK @ 54.35.

Hi Stocktrader,
ReplyDeleteExcellent entry price on SPLK.

Hey Saleem,
ReplyDeleteYes, back to 7% invested, huge! :)
I think the most vulnerable sector could be financials. They were bid up all last quarter in anticipation of a steepening yield curve and greater economic activity--both of those things are failing right now. If I had the guts, I'd go long FAZ also.
