Hey Saleem,

I am nervous about a head and shoulder pattern forming on MU and a double top in the $SOX. It makes me nervous about my NXPI. Good luck to both of us! :)

Hi Stocktrader,

Thanks for your technical read, I always depend on fundamental to take care of technical formation.

Hey Saleem,

Well...I was right about copper--if it closes here will be the lowest close in years, but wrong about FCX, charging only higher since my sell...

Hi Stocktrader,

Sometimes all the bad news is discounted and priced in.

Hey Saleem,

I think I figured out what I did wrong with some ideas recently--placing too much emphasis on year-end effects. It seems maybe enough of that was discounted in the early part of December that true buyers and sellers could step in last week.

Hi Stocktrader,

Mistakes we will always make, but it is important to recover from it quickly.

There are only few days when market goes UP substantially, it is important to be there fully invested.
