About market, TAPE is following a pattern of one day down & next day UP. Mario Draghi dragged its decision again to early next year, but TAPE was much more resilient than what i had expected of a "negative news", maybe its the Friday's Jobs report which may surprise us on the positive side. Dow made another all time high intraday. Stay with this TAPE "its not going lower anytime soon"

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

The jobs number was incredible!

I'm looking to sell SPLK at open given it has tended to do poorly when the market perceives the Fed will move more quickly. I'd sell DATA also, but am locked in for a couple more days. Hopefully selling the SPLK will mitigate any damage in this sector.

I am tempted to buy TZA as a hedge. Could small caps start the underperformance again?

Hey Saleem,

GM would be such a perfect investment right now if it wasn't for that darn weak yen. I hope we don't get into a car pricing war...

Hi Stocktrader,

A month ago I bought Hyundai Sonata, they are very good quality With unbelievable warranty. GM and F has lot to worry about Korean cars than Japanese.

Hey Saleem,

Bought back my HUN @ 25.178.

The chart is looking like it may have bottomed, and someone bought 6000 Feb 26 call options today, signaling an institutional type is willing to make a large bet on upside.

Hey Saleem,

Bought back my ETN also @ 69.47.

Better economic indications out of Europe and the US makes me switch my stance back to positive.

Hey Saleem,

Trimmed AAL @ 50.883 to bring it in line with the other top positions instead of highly overweight.

Hey Saleem,

I worry I'm making too many late-year moves here, but the market acted so well today in the face of the very strong jobs number that I think we are in good shape for further grind higher into year end.
