About market, TAPE reversed from lower lows into a strong close. Many stocks group participated in this rally except solar stocks which is hurting due to situation in Nevada & its supplier. This rally is wait and see and has to prove itself. TAPE has been damaged badly and may need several attempts to build a solid base. Keep an eye on internals as it is still very weak.Every Friday or before long weekend there is a closing BLOG only.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

Sold PLNT @ 14.78 as it hasn't dropped much, but also lacks specific catalysts that are more present in other stocks.

Bought TREE @ 68.30 as the franchise remains strong and it seems that mortgage activity may actually pick up as the rates fall.

Side note: Very frustrated as I missed this by pennies in the 67.50 range and had to buy more than 1% higher eventually...

Hi Stocktrader,

Good luck with TREE.

This TAPE is in freefall.

Hi Saleem,

These moves are just echoes of the crash that was straight down to start the year. I don't see the big selling anymore, just lack of buyers in most cases. This can eventually lend to individual stock outperformers as the cash at investment managers is large and differentiation of companies can shine through. I'm positioning for this action.

Hi Saleem,

The Russell 2000 is down 15% in three weeks. I've never seen a move like that in a major index that I can remember. I think it is so far overdone that TNA is probably a great play right now (40.70).
