About market, TAPE was under mild selling pressure and closed near lows of the day, several attempts were made to stay green, but it failed by close. This is a very narrow range selling which tells me that, there are not too many eager sellers but buyers are accumulating. Internals were weaker. Patience and conviction is required @ this stage in market as Friday's jobs report is critical for interest rate hike.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

Sold TECK @ 19.85 at open

Although I like the company, I fear some of their markets are losing their luster. I'll move to the sidelines for now.

Hi Saleem,

Sold SPLK @ 60.78

I get the feeling that SPLK is stuck for a while as rates rise. It is lacking a catalyst for a next leg higher.

Hi Stocktrader,

Good luck with your strategy.

Always good to review stock technicals and fundamental.

Hi Saleem,

The market still feels heavy to me and we've seen more late day selloffs recently which indicates institutional distribution. I'll stay defensive until I see more evidence of support under the market--right now the support remains weak but sellers are not aggressive, hence the churn.

Hi Stocktrader,

Yes...it is important to monitor TAPE for clues.
