About market, Fed statement of leaving March increase on the table jolted markets badly. Tonight IBD is changing its market outlook to "market under pressure ". Despite heavy selling after 2 PM, internals were not too negative. I believe TAPE should find its footing with FB excellent report. Buying strength has been a winning idea and should be pursued with conviction.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

Amazing FB report, so much better than even high expectations!

URI was very disappointing. I'll be looking to sell at any good price.

I'd seen the peak of NOW for a while now :) SPLK is very different and still in early innings. I may consider adding more in the $40-$45 range if it drops that low at some point ahead of earnings.

I personally am tired of oil or the Fed or China driving stock prices of companies that have nothing to do with any of that--I think the end of day little rebound was some of that from other investors too. I hope FB wakes up people even more to the fact that some companies are really just doing well.

Hi Stocktrader,

Thanks for your comment about FB.

BABA came out with a beat on Sale and EPS an hour ago.

Yes it is painful to see many stocks getting crushed on oil, fed and China.

We all wish stocks trade on their fundamental and technical picture.
