About market, bearish TAPE continues, IBD tonight has changed its market outlook to " market in correction ". Everyone is getting extremely bearish which tells me that we may not be far from a "major reversal ". IF you subscribe to this theory, then it is important to be in stocks with good earnings. Wednesday Janet Yellen may tone down her interest hike focus in her testimony, this may trigger much needed turnaround in equities, till then show conviction.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

Hi Saleem

I am lucky with FB. I will hold some more time. I also would like you to know that yesterday I had an order for TNA for 37.02 and it reached 37.01(low of the day) and the order was executed. I never realized it because I had gone to pick my kids from school. I am really lucky. Good luck

Hi Stocktrader,

This is the-most volatile market since 2008 slump.

I am throwing dice and waiting for it to stick once in a while.
