About market, TAPE was strong and closed @ a new all time high. Indices closed @ high of the day. Momentum is very strong and there is a good chance that it will continue in short term. RSI @ 80 is scaring lot of traders, but, it is one the many indicators to watch closely to determine IF TAPE has reached its peak. One simple fact to keep in mind " 70 RSI is considered by many as automatic sell " guess how they are feeling now @ 80 RSI...what IF ....IF we are going to top out @ 90 RSI ?...when momentum is there   " ride it out "

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

Sold IP @ 51.78

The breakout didn't materialize as expected, and I wanted to reduce exposure in my less familiar holdings.

Trimmed SPLK @ 65.17 to take some profits and ahead of earnings.

Hi Saleem,

I am eyeing TECK, ZYNE, MU, PI? for purchase.

Coking coal seems to have bottomed due to anticipated supply cuts in China again which could be very good for TECK.

I don't want to get too overweight in semiconductors, so I'm being careful with purchases in that space. That said, it seems like chips have their hands in many of the new growth industries in the world.

Hi Stocktrader,

I feel semis are in the right spot, thus my overweight in that sector.

Good luck with your well analyzed strategy for new buys.
