About market, TAPE was spooked by rising inflation and higher interest rates in treasury. WMT earnings report was a huge negative which impacted overall investor sentiment. After 6 days of huge gains, we were ripe for profit taking.Dow & S&P 500 closed below 50 DMA but Nasdaq still above. Hopefully by Wednesday close we will be back in positive mode.

Hi Saleem,

Sold HCLP @ 12.10

Today's SLCA report and commentary was less than inspiring with regards to the long term earnings power of the sand and services business. Although HCLP's conference call yesterday was better, I fear the industry will remain suspect in investors' eyes.

This leaves me with more cash than I desire right now. I have to find some new picks :)
