Hi Saleem,

Sold PRU @ 89.622

I don't trust the high levels of bullish sentiment surrounding the financials and prospects for rate increases.

Hi Stocktrader,

Surprised @ your sell.

But it is all about your strategy.

Good luck with next moves....

Hi Saleem,

I really don't like the charts here, and the internals of the market seem squishy to me. The truly good stocks are stretched, and the poor stocks are on the verge of breakdown--that doesn't leave much upside for either. Also, I think the economy is in a lose/lose scenario--either it strengthens and the Fed goes or it weakens and profits suffer. It is also summer and July is traditionally bad for small caps.

All this tells me to move to the sidelines. The portfolio needed a refresh anyways--too many laggards getting lost in the shuffle.
