Do not sell in May......

Sell in May and go away is a popular trading strategy followed by some.....

Some prefer to buy every October and sell in 1st week of January or March....also practiced on Wall & Broad...

Each strategy has its own merit based on sector, October to January exposure is good for technology and it does work most of the time.

2018 May is shaping to be the best May to stay invested.

In May already we have made a technical rebound below 200 DMA , this is suppose to be double or triple bottom depending on Indices....

In 4 trading days of May, we have accomplished many key technical milestone.....

Russell is above 50 DMA

Mid Cap S&P 400 is above 50 DMA

Nasdaq above 50 DMA

These technical levels are significant for the health of this TAPE and looks very good going forward.

Dow, S&P 500 and SOX are all above 200 DMA and are almost ready to shoot above 50 DMA...

SOX offers the most in terms of potential, they have been beaten down badly....

RUT and S&P 400 never dipped below 200 DMA which is a very good sign of select strength of this TAPE.

Currently, it is a good time to stay positive and even increase exposure in this market.

Showing patience and conviction now is a good thing to do.

Good luck with your own interpretation of this TAPE and your own comfort level.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

Last week:

Performance: -0.17% (YTD: +15.62%)
Notable Winners: NSP BABA BEAT SPLK SWKS
Notable Losers: MTCH FSLR VICR MHO

An otherwise nice week was marred by the MTCH debacle. That said, some good removal of hedges and new stock pickups helped set the portfolio up for the future. The market does finally feel pretty constructive here for gains ahead.

Holdings: BABA FDX SPLK GTLS BEAT YY BOOM VICR VCEL FSLR SWKS MHO APPN SFLY TRIL, cash 8.3%

Hi Saleem,

Bought a speculative position in BILI @ 10.00

A pure-play on Gen Z in China, and with Chinese technology stocks doing so well now, I thought I'd follow along with JPM's $14 PT initiation today and see what happens.

Hi Saleem,

I have been thinking about NXPI a lot in the last week or so. I'm not sure how to play it, but there are plenty of ways it could be worth a lot more than it is now, so I like your move. Good luck with NXPI! :)
