About market, TAPE was strong with Dow & S&P 500 @ all time highs. Tonight IBD is changing its market outlook to " market in confirmed uptrend ".Scotland is saying NO based on early count. It is all about BABA, Jimmy the Cramer saying buy @ $80, i am saying paying over $75 will be a mistake. Nasdaq should make a new 14 year high on Friday. Avoid BABA linked companies unless they are growing in Sales & EPS.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Bought a small amount of RAD 5.15

Bought CNQ as a hedge against inflation, but oil should be lower right now. I just wanted an asset, something other than cash.

I don't like EGO, because I don't trust gold's value. I'm watching gold stock though.

Hi Stocktrader,

Good luck with CNQ and RAD.

Hey Saleem,

That was Western Firebird with the buys :). I'm holding tight currently but looking for ideas.

Hey Saleem,

I am tempted by BTU, but very scared. They had a press release yesterday that indicates higher earnings, and I think the stock is being artificially depressed by removal from the S&P 500 today. Also, it is getting some sympathy selling from WLT's problems, but a WLT restructuring could help take off capacity.

Hey Saleem,

I completely missed your EGO note. Good luck with the add--I bet gold surprises everyone (to the upside) at some point here, just not sure of the timing...

Hi Stocktrader,

Gold is a contrary bet based on extreme negativity.....crowd is never write @ turns.....buy low sell high...
