About market, TAPE closed @ new all time high in Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq. Strength in this TAPE showing fatigue and internals mostly negative. Even our famous pundit came up with many negative for this TAPE after pounding the table yesterday, that all is great. Rotation and stock picking is extremely critical @ this stage. Exposure needs to be less than before.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

I saw many signs of fatigue in the market today also. I am expecting a cautious day ahead of the payrolls data.

Hi Saleem,

Sold MU @ 39.79 to take profits

Early signs of a top in memory pricing could put pressure on shares. It was time to take profits and watch from the sidelines for a while.

Hi Saleem,

Added a little to my speculative position in HCLP @ 10.05

This is my "high octane" way to play the energy rally.

Hi Saleem,

The market is moving too fast finally now, not the slow and steady to sustain the up move. I have 36.8% cash, but still feel vulnerable, although any pullback is likely to be bought again within days.

Hi Stocktrader,

YES.....this TAPE is lot different than any i have observed in decades....

It was sloppy yesterday but today is back in 5th gear......

One has to be very quick in trades to catch any swing.....
