About market, TAPE was under selling pressure from Asia to Europe and on to North America, Oil was lower but recovered, equities followed. Tonight IBD has changed its market outlook to "uptrend under pressure". There is nervousness about quality of earnings going into next week, it may not be as expected. Taking profit has to be the mantra going forward. There is only a closing BLOG on Friday's around 7 PM.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

This market really does feel like it wants to go higher still. Every time we get a small dip, due to oil or yen or whatever, it is shrugged off by the next day. The S&P chart is still signaling a bit of a topping pattern, but I think too many traders are still expecting a bigger pullback, which means cash is ready to buy.

P.S. I finally logged out my wife's account, it had been going all week as I never remembered until after I had clicked publish! :)

Hi Saleem,

Bought HUN @ 13.14

It looks like the chart and fundamentals are lining up for a breakout. I'm not sure what the put activity was all about, but even yesterday the company traded ok. I think maybe it was protecting a large position rather than a bearish bet.

Hi Saleem,

What do you think of YHOO here with a confirmed bidding process in progress? It seems like downside is low with upside potential of 10%+.
