About market, TAPE reversed and closed UP in Dow which is a strong technical action, earlier S&P 500 and Dow both pierced 200 DMA, but all indices are well above 200 DMA. It is all about jobs report @ 830 AM, IF its too hot then June rate hike is given, i personally think that economy is resilient enough for a .25% rate hike in June. By close on Friday, i am hoping that we will be green. There is only a closing BLOG on Friday's around 7 PM.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

Sold BAC @ 28.98

I think rates may have peaked out for now, so I don't see the catalyst for bank gains from here.

Bought SWKS @ 91.70

I was trying to sell BAC and buy SWKS all morning and missed some good entry points, but oh well. SWKS performed *very* well given the AAPL weakness in orders and I think 5G will drive another cycle for these guys.

Hi Saleem,

Good luck with more SQ!

Looks like all green lights for market now. Skeptical sentiment persists even as the market is creeping higher and sellers are done--good sign in my opinion.
