About market, TAPE was celebrating Fed minutes showing rapid growth in US economy, Dow shot UP 300 but then 10 year Bond yield jumped to new 4 year high @ 2.94% closing @ 2.935%. Indices @ closed @ absolute low of the day, surprisingly VIX closed down on the day. I guess Bond yield is going to decide every day equity action.

Hi Saleem,

Bought TNA @ 69.60

Lacking a better specific stock idea, but wanting market exposure, I went for TNA.

I think yesterday's shakeout was perfect to get the weak hands out and start the rebound again as yields remain fairly tame and fears are overblown.

Hi Saleem,

Added a little more TNA @ 69.57

TNA is 18.1% of the portfolio now.

Hi Saleem,

Good run off the bottom for NTES to take some exposure off.
