About market,  TAPE improved big time & close was impressive again. Internals have improved substantially which is a good sign of a turn in progress. It is impossible to time any market especially a volatile one, most of the gains are made when no one expects them. We probably have seen the worst of this selling, today we made higher low which is a sign of support for this TAPE.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

You can feel the tension lessening some. As long as we don't get more negative "scarelines", we should move higher for now.

Hi Stocktrader,

YES we are looking much healthier in TAPE.

Hey Saleem,

I am hesitant to execute on my strategy of selling some more stocks on this gap open given the relatively better feeling about the markets. I may have to sell a few just to stay disciplined...

I only have BWLD on which I'm restricted for two more days.

Time to lock in some profits and do another rethink.
