About market, TAPE was under pressure for 3 days due to rising interest rates, despite that, equities are behaving better than expected. Weak earnings report from FB & AAPL are being rewarded with positive action, this bodes well for equity market. Jobs report could be very strong, well ahead of consensus as last month was well below. This pause is very healthy for long term health of this bullish TAPE. There is only a closing BLOG on Friday's around 7 PM.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

Bought SPLK @ 92.2

After DATA's lackluster earnings turned into a great price gain, I think SPLK is poised to do very well on a good report.

Bought X @ 36.00

I'm taking this opportunity to step in ahead of a potential tariff ruling on steel and an infrastructure bill.

Hi Joseph,

Good luck with more TNA.

As usual with me, I called the top pretty well, but got back in way too early. At least this seems like it will be a sharp, but short, correction for now.
