About market, Worldwide economic weakness took a toll in US market, Germany contraction took everyone by surprise, as goes Germany, so goes Europe. All indices are well below 50 DMA. Tonight IBD is throwing the towel on this market by changing its market outlook to "market in correction". Today was brutal for internals, but it is too late to sell as RSI flashing 36.81 which is near "deeply oversold condition". I am staying the course.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Firebird,

Gold has been crushed, it should move UP..US$ needs downward adjustment after huge run, that will be very bullish for Gold.

Hey Saleem,

Sold SPLK @ 53.812.

I just think it's too early to own any stocks right now.

Sold RAD @ 5.09

I'd bought a little more at 4.8. Not much profit.

Bought a little VLO @ 45.8. It's now lower though... I might wait to buy anything else.

CNQ is down for me. I'm holding that.

Hi Stocktrader

Comfort level needs to be very high in this correction.

I'm not even sure why I bought VLO. An analyst upgraded it to push me over the edge. I should ignore analysts.

WTI spread should increase with time, and the Gulf is the best location atm, as I understand things anyway. I doubt the crack spread is very good atm, and their next reporting could be negative.

I might dump the stock if there's a small rally.,,

Hi Firebird,

Profit is a profit.

Analysts have many agenda, so be careful with their push and pull.

TAPE is difficult.

That's the last time I buy refineries, at least until they're more clearly profitable. They're too complicated.

Anyway, good luck with your trades.
