About market, tonight IBD saying that "market in confirmed uptrend". TAPE celebrated one major military and economic tension almost gone in Ukraine. Greece is on the verge of making the deal with Germany. Monday could bring that announcement. Monday could be a positive day in Europe, but Canada & US are closed on Monday.S&P is all set to take out all time highs which is only 5 points away. We are looking @ few more days of strong momentum. Cyber security stocks are flying.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

Sold TTPH @ 34.658.

I made a small profit on it this week (although missed booking a big gain yesterday), and I feel like the tide is turning against biotech. With their huge outperformance in the past year, new attacks in both pricing and patents, and the money flow toward cyclical industries, I feel like there is more risk than reward currently. I'll look to re-enter at lower levels.

Hi Stocktrader,

Good move with TTPH..profit is a profit.

Added 20% AKS @ $4.56.

Cannot write in real time due to tablet issue with BLOG.

Hey Saleem,

That's ok, I know your limitations right now--I hope you get it worked out eventually!

I feel pretty good with what I've done this week--good diversification and mostly sector leaders :)

Hi Stocktrader,

YES..you have outperformed averages by a mile this week, it is all about your due diligence, hardwork & rethink.

Hey Saleem,

Sold X @ 26.48 to take profits. This is using my brain instead of the charts, but I couldn't handle the fact that the steel price keeps dropping despite the gains in the stocks.

Hi Stocktrader,

Using brain is always desirable.

Profit is profit $$$$$$

Hey Saleem,

Unfortunately I find that my brain tricks me into missing bigger profits most times. In this case, I bought for a semi-trade thesis anyways, and without the commodity rise to support, I feel ok with selling on the ~15% move since purchase last week.

It's good to have a bit of cash after the market shot straight to the all-time high anyways. I hope I can identify another opportunity if we retrace or churn here, although really the future looks great--it might not wait for me!

Hey Saleem,

I am highly tempted by GPRO here. With the well-publicized lockup on Tuesday, I feel like the downside is limited now, and often we get a big pop immediately if major sellers don't materialize.
