About market, TAPE was strong on oversold condition and oil being sharply higher. AAPL major buying propelled whole tech sector. Internals are looking strong. TAPE is extremely volatile, strategic buying and selling is the way to go. Diversification does help with volatility. Buy stocks with very high comfort level with good chart pattern.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

Rebought some financials exposure with economic activity picking up again.

Hi Saleem,

HD is really an amazing company. It is immune to the "AMZN effect" and continues to capitalize on the nesting phenomenon where many people plan to stay in their homes for a long time. I may switch one of my homebuilders for HD.

Hi Saleem,

Swapped MTH @ 35.40 for HD @ 133.34

I got the rise from MTH's mispricing and I still have WLH in the direct homebuilding space. The more I thought about HD, the more I liked the story. We'll see what happens here.

Portfolio: DAL HD GM BAC NXPI WLH HUN FIT SPLK JKS

Even though I list them in position size order, everything except JKS is within 1.5% in position size of each other (DAL 10.7%, SPLK 9.3%), so I don't really have any "overweights". I'm trying to keep diversified and opportunistic.

Hi Stocktrader,

Good move with your profitable swap into HD.

Equal weighting reflects less risk and stress.

Good luck with your portfolio.
