About market, TAPE starting strong on above consensus economic data in US & China. Rally faded quickly, by close we barely were UP. Internals were weak. There is still hangover from immigration issues and related economic impact. Stay with high comfort stocks and stay away from speculative bets. Earnings are becoming challenging for most in terms of guidance.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem and Stocktrader,

Sold VRX @ 13.90 and TECK @ 25.90.

Whenever our president opens his mouth, something happens. It is good to trade whenever we can to make some money.

Thanks for all your help. Good luck.

Hi Joseph,

Booking profit is good.

World stock market including US is independent of any politician, it has a discounting mechanism to deal with anything.

Follow the trend and you will be more than OK.

Hi Saleem,

Trimmed a little NEFF @ 15.50

I didn't actually get all I wanted to sell but have left the order in. URI indicated that rental rates are still a headwind, and without the tailwind of management initiatives and an acquisition, I'm not sure NEFF can have the same kind of results. We seem far away from an infrastructure bill also.

Hi Stocktrader,

Good luck with your strategy for NEFF.
