About market, TAPE got a boost from Greek effort to propose cuts in pension & hike in taxes which ECB & IMF was looking for, there is reasonable ground for striking a deal now, it may take several days to itemize each items for implementation & deadlines. Nasdaq is @ all time high again. We may get follow through in this run, but it is a chance to book profit. Stocks which have pulled back already are attractive buys.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Stocktrader,

Good move in selling AAL & SPLK.....

Market needs digestion of all the good news.

Hi Saleem,

The craziest part about this market is that even if I assume a Greek resolution or deferment, I can't predict the direction of markets. Will a positive outcome drives rates up, forcing stocks (ex-financials) down? will the euro go up or down affecting many multi-national profits?

Last week was really good for the portfolio--it gained 2.12% versus smaller gains for the indices. This was despite low stock allocation late in the week. CSOD (+8.6%), MOMO (+4.9%), and SPLK (+4.4% even with a losing sell/buyback) were the big gainers. Only the sells of NXPI and HUN came with fractional losses. I ended the week with 56.7% cash and I have even more now.

The current portfolio is: PRU KSS GM AMBA WLH.

I am just waiting for something to stick out as a great buy--I'm just not seeing much I like currently...

Hi Stocktrader,

Greece will be all resolved when we wake up this Friday, another uncertainty out of the way.

US$ will stay strong

Chinese economy will struggle

US stock market is the best place to be...

What happens in next 30 days, sideways to down, but $$$ will be made in selective trades....
