About market, TAPE was under mild selling pressure due to overbought condition. Indices closed near high of the day which is a sign of buying near lows. Internals were weak and many stocks were down. This was a mild digestive phase of gains, which is a good thing. Stay diversified as there is more upside left. There is a closing BLOG only on Friday's around 7 PM.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem and Stocktrader,

Added TECK @ 21.04. It had a good report. I hope it will eventually go up.

Market has been quite shaky these days. We may have to take some off the table to be at a safer side.

Good luck

Hi Saleem and Joseph,

Sold TECK @ 21.36

After the vicious down move after earnings, I need to re-evaluate how I feel about the longer term outlook for the company.

Hi Joseph and Stocktrader,

This is what makes a market.

Good luck with your decision on TECK.

I am staying put with TECK.

Thinking TECK has a little up potential:) What's up with PI? I'm hard to make money on it.

Hi ne-tiger,

PI is guiding lower for current quarter in both Sales and EPS...thus selling pressure.

Hi Saleem,

Ugh, I was looking at SPWR yesterday because I liked the thesis put forth by an analyst about a bottom in fundamentals. I wanted to do more work on it, especially after the bad reaction yesterday, but it really took off today. Not sure where that puts me now...maybe I'll look for a retest of the 50 DMA if I still like the idea.

Hi Saleem,

This market is amazingly resilient. I was expecting some selloff today ahead of the three day weekend to get a good entry on MU...it's not coming to me! lol

Hi Stocktrader,

Yes selling yesterday was muted by close.

Too much money waiting to invest on any weakness.

MU has been weak lately others semis doing well.

Good luck with your next pick.

spwr prob is a short sqeeze, csiq/jks/fslr more reasonable.

Hi ne-tiger,

I personally like FSLR.....technically it is behaving much better and has institutional support.
