About market, TAPE started UP but only Dow made a new all time high, Indices struggled due to looming government shutdown, there is some hope for averting that now, this gets resolved most of the time. This weakness was another opportunity to position in strong stocks. Internals were weak today die to limited selling, TAPE is in very good shape ready to take off again. There is only a closing BLOG on Friday's around 7 PM.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.
