About market, TAPE reacted positively to speculation that China may provide more stimulus to their economy, Car Sales were robust in US which says a lot about the strength of US economy. TAPE almost repaired internals except new lows still in the lead barely, hopefully that may change by Wednesday close. Dow closed @ the-highest level, again hoping that Nasdaq & S&P 500 may follow. Technicals are looking much better for this TAPE now.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

Despite good internals yesterday, I think the breadth of the rally will continue to narrow into year end. I don't see managers buying anything aggressively that has above average risk.

I'm considering an AAPL position for a year end run to $125.

Hey Saleem,

Sold FDX @ 180.70

Bought AAPL @ 115.50

I think the easy "low oil" trades need a rest and AAPL looks like a runner after this nice consolidation.

Hey Saleem,

Sold WLH @ 20.02.

I should have sold earlier on the big move to $21 given my stance on poor relative performers into year end, but I had hope it would catch up with the rest of the homebuilders. At least I still made some good money calling the bottom in the stock, and will look again in the new year as one of the best beta plays in the homebuilder group.
