About market, TAPE rested today to sift through weak & better economic data in US. Fed interest rate policy remains in focus as job report looms.Hopefully we build our momentum from turnaround Tuesday into Friday's another end all and be all, jobs report. Stay with high comfort stocks, Google announces its phone on Tuesday, to capitalize on apps and search business, Android operating system leads the cell phone world by a mile.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

Sold TNA @ 79.58

It seems like stocks are lacking energy and that could hurt small caps. I'm not sure if this is "Fed fear" again or not, but the strongest part of our economy is jobs and that report is coming this week. I'll step to the sidelines on general market exposure.

Hi Stocktrader,

Do whatever which increases your comfort level.

Market is always unpredictable.

Hi Stocktrader,

ZYNE is moving higher and higher. Let us hope TRIL also moves higher and faster. You have been playing with TNA for sometime. During Brexit crisis, I lost some money with TZA thinking that the market would come down. I had profit at one point but I made a blunder in holding on to it. Good luck Stocktrader.

Hi Joseph,

Both ZYNE and TRIL remain undervalued but there is always uncertainty with biotechs, not only in trials but in timing of the move. Even CNAT is moving today, but these stocks are not easy.

I have been playing with TNA much more than usual recently, mostly because I felt the market was overdiscounting some bad news that represented an opportunity. I am a stock picker at heart and primarily stick with that :)

Hi Saleem,

Good luck with the next pick!

I am suddenly very nervous about the state of the market. Today's action is volatile and new threats are surfacing. I am tempted to reduce exposure further but do not want to overreact.

Hi Stocktrader,

Today's TAPE is certainly disappointing, let us see how we close.
