About market, TAPE ignored bad earning report, which showed that this market is on the mend. It is not going to be easy straight UP anymore, volatility remains high. Stay diversified and be in defensive stocks. Previous high fliers are more vulnerable in my opinion. Boring & ignored stocks is a better way to navigate this TAPE.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

Things really feel good again like there's a solution to every problem and, as usual, the good companies are finding ways to make money in any environment.

It is tempting to buy back the cyclical exposure, but I wonder if waiting for a pullback is a better idea? Year-end chase feels like it is starting...

Hey Saleem,

Sold BWLD based on some commentary from CMG about cost pressures. Got 1/4 sold first thing today @ 132.81, but none of the rest sold there. Finally took 131.41 just now for the other 3/4.
