About market, TAPE was under selling pressure due to testimony from new Fed chief who is calling for many interest rate hikes to contain inflation. Market had recovered quite a bit, so there was some profit taking. Hopefully market has discounted ever changing interest rate picture. Internals were weak and we closed @ absolute low of the day.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

Sold TNA @ 68.44

I'm more concerned about the market here now that the economic data is showing signs of weakening again. I may make some other moves today to address my concerns.

Hi Saleem,

Added a little to MHO @ 29.90

I feel like homebuilders and this stock are washed out. I'm playing for a bounce off the 200 DMA.
