About market, TAPE fought its way against low oil prices and closed UP, this back to back gain confirms this V bottom & uptrend. Tonight IBD saying " markets in confirmed uptrend"...Friday @ 8.30 AM it is all about jobs, 190K is expectations, they may come below this number which may propel this market higher. Oil had an orderly pullback today and may be ready to hold the line or move higher, this is what this market likes. Friday has a closing BLOG only around 7 PM.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

I think though the jobs number was very negative for the market, almost signaling a high level of tightening in labor.

Sold LNKD @ 126.70
Sold BBRY @ 7.35
Sold RLYP @ 18.13

Working on selling TREE, and will evaluate the rest of my stocks throughout the day. I wanted to get the most speculative/highest P/E out of the way quickly.

Hi Saleem,

I couldn't get rid of TREE at a price I liked, and still have some speculative exposure in FIT and WLH, so I added TZA @ 61.47

Hi Stocktrader,

Market is in total turmoil.

Good news is bad news is the mantra.

Good luck with your strategy and with TZA.

I also feel that the market may go down. Every bounce is an opportunity to sell. GL

Hi Saleem,

The weekly rig count is really staring me in the face right now. We have cut so many rigs from last year at this time. I really think a bottom in oil might be forming. I will spend time over the weekend decided what to do about that. It could be a nasty mix where the Fed sees oil ticking back up and deciding to really go forward on interest rate rises...

Hi Stocktrader,

I believe oil has seen it's low and has found support.

CNQ is my 3rd largest position and is near my purchase price.

SU had written off couple of billions two days ago and had huge loss..guess what it closed UP.

Bad news are all factored in oil stocks.

Good luck with your homework.
