About market, TAPE showed its strong buying momentum after Doha failure and oil slump @ open, within minutes of open buyers flocked in and bought everything on sale, by close we were @ the highest point of the day. Indices are sitting @ the highest level of 2016 and within striking distance of making a new all time high. All this daily record close is being ignored by a technician, Carter Worth is always looking towards 2008, which was 8 years ago, one hell of a technical analysis.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

Bought GM @ 31.73

I always thought these guys would report good earnings even in the face of stalling US sales due to higher margins and the weaker dollar, but I got caught up in the whole "peak auto" sentiment and sold early last week. Now we have a situation where auto production in Japan is severely diminished due to earthquake problems, and I think this might be enough tailwind to drive price gains even beyond the great execution company that GM has become.

Hi Saleem,

Bought FDX @ 167.30

After a very nice quarter, I think this stock is ready to break higher.
