About market, TAPE behaved much better than expected based on lower oil & weak housing data. Fed chief testimony on hill may not sit well with traders as talk of higher interest rates may dominate Q & A. Janet Yellen has a real challenge on hand to balance reality of higher interest rates in June vs expectations of  lower rates for a "considerable period of time"...market may not like clarity on this issue. Buying quality stocks on weakness should work out pretty good.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

I had a buy order for BAC @ 16.26 that never filled after the stock had its official "open". That's a shame... I may try to chase--the worst might be over for banks.
