About market, TAPE found support in morning slump and rallied sharply from there, Nasdaq did a "V" bottom and was "super impressive by close. Small caps was the-best performer by jumping 1.79% @ close, so Russell may be the way to go plus Nasdaq. We definitely need a conformation of this rally by Wednesday close or else all technical improvement may go to waste.

Hey Saleem,

I'm looking at KSS for purchase. After selling AAL and FDX in recent weeks, I am not playing cheap oil hard enough, if at all really. I think airlines and freight carriers face certain challenges, so I'm looking for a consumer play.

Hi Stocktrader,

TAPE IS trying to discount oil slump and retesting support.

Yes it's a wonderful time to buy.

Good luck!

Hey Saleem,

Sold ETN @ 67.50 and sold half HUN @ 24.84.

It feels like something is wrong with the world economy because of this oil situation. I wanted to reduce some cyclical exposure until this plays out a little more.

Hi Stocktrader,

It is important to have high comfort level with all stocks in your portfolio or else do what you did.
