S&P 500 @ 2256.96, low 2252.37, high 2264.03

RSI @ 74.78

CMF @ 0.221

Internals were :

Declining stocks led by 1.79 to 1 in NYSE & 2.23 to 1 in Nasdaq

Net new 52 wk highs were leading by 172 in NYSE & 229 in Nasdaq

AH ER...PAY Down 4.81%

AH Futures UP

AH Asian Markets Mixed

AH Oil UP

AH Gold Down

About market, TAPE took a breather and closed mixed, Dow made another record close.Nasdaq was weak again as new money is pouring in Financials & Infrastructure related stocks. Oil agreement from both OPEC & Non OPEC countries took pundits by surprise, they got their exit from bearish position with some help. I expect energy stocks to outperform to reflect new pricing and profitability. I would recommend heavy weighting towards base metals, energy and financials to reflect a shift in investing thesis.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

Sold OCLR @ 8.62

I am nervous enough about the Chinese percentage of sales to not participate here. I made a little profit, so that's a good thing :)

Hi Stocktrader,

Like Marty Zweig, it's good to be nervous and book profit.

Hi Saleem,

Bought speculative position in NEFF @ 14.35

After it has rested a while and RSI is finally under 70, I thought I'd try it again. I think it will be hard for institutions to sell going into year end, so it might continue to float higher, especially as it seems there is some bipartisan agreement on infrastructure spending.

Hi Saleem,

It was the first decent discount in BAC in a long time. Nice way to take advantage!
