About market, TAPE is making lower closing in all indices today.S&P 500 @ 9 weeks low.IMF has trimmed its Global growth outlook to 3.3% & 3.8% for 2014 / 2015, this is drop from 3.4% & 4.00% from previous 2014 / 2015. US economy is improving as per IMF. IMF also warned on frothiness in stock market, which is not a role for them to comment, but since Fed has done it , so why not IMF. Fed minutes to come out @ 2 PM which will show same policy of low rates to continue, this may give lift to markets which @ best may be an oversold bounce.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

Bought LUV @ 32.66.

This domestically-focused airline is benefiting from lower oil and better consumer spending while not having the problems of the international airlines and capacity overbuilding.

Hi Stocktrader,

Good luck with LUV.

Hey Saleem,

I am tempted to buy a retailer like KSS or M based on SHLD's problems and also the lower gasoline tailwinds.

Hi Stocktrader,

JCP just lowered their guidance?

Hey Saleem,

Yes, that came after my comment. It actually makes me more cautious on a retailer, hence why I've held off making a purchase.

I have an eerie feeling about the market ahead of the Fed minutes--could get ugly.

Hi Stocktrader,

TAPE is ugly already & may remain so after an oversold bounce ?
