About market, TAPE was strong which closed S&P 500 & Dow @ highest level again. Internals improved further and its all positive now. Now the ball is on Mario Draghi's court, can he surprise all of us by actually starting bond buying? Market is looking healthy again and series of new highs are in store. Equity focus has increased for money managers, which is good for this aging TAPE.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

Sold the underperforming HUN @ 24.904.

I'm over 20% cash now.

Hey Saleem,

I think GM is interesting here. It is still an "underperformer" this year, but the chart continues to look better. I think I'd rather buy the breakout above $34 than buy here.

Hey Saleem,

MU looks great for another breakout--it just keeps chugging...

I am evaluating RUTH for sale. The chart is at an inflection point. If it gets under $13, I'll probably sell for this year. It barely does 200K volume and might be too small to get good support into year end.

Hey Saleem,

Sold ETN @ 69.30.

With its international exposure, I think the 200 DMA it smacked against is too much to handle into year end. Another one to revisit in the new year...

Hi Stocktrader,

YES MU is looking very good.

Good to prune underperforming stocks.

Hey Saleem,

Bought DATA @ 81.969.

Given the nice consolidation post-earnings, and the numerous analyst positive comments/upgrades recently, I think this could see "favored" status into year end.

Hi Stocktrader,

Good luck with DATA.

Hey Saleem,

The portfolio is down to only six stocks now: AAL AAPL GS SPLK DATA RUTH.

High selectivity is key right now--hopefully I'm in the right spots.

Hey Saleem,

I'm already feeling the pressure of buying a stock in which I don't have longer term confidence (DATA) despite good shorter term trends still. I'll be watching the technicals carefully...

Hey Saleem,

Decided to dabble with GM @ 33.37.

It is gaining market share and car sales remain robust, catching many analysts/investors offguard.
