About market, TAPE tried to ignore POTUS remarks and Fed minutes, but in the end it closed barely green. Fed minutes were extremely bullish for the market, as interest rate hike is far far away. Internals were mostly positive but CMF is heading down daily. BABA reports before open, its reaction may set the tone for rest of the day.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

Sold BAC @ 23.86

I think we could be in for a serious governmental crisis, or at least need to protect against that. I'll be making a few more portfolio moves here.

Hi Saleem,

Bought a load of TZA @ 17.64

I'm not good at market timing, but I'm really nervous now so I feel the hedge is very appropriate.

Hi Stocktrader,

Good luck with TZA. ..it's all about your comfort level with TAPE.

Hi Saleem,

Sold TCMD @ 33.33 to take profits.

It's a company I'm not perfectly familiar with yet and it could drop a lot in a "risk off" scenario.

Sold ALRM @ 42.23 to take profits.

Same as TCMD pretty much, new company for me, high RSI.

Hi Stocktrader,

Good move in booking profit and reducing exposure plus buying protection....this 3 prong strategy should work.
