Indices fighting negativity......

Indices are fighting valiantly against uncertainty due to trade war and rising interest rate scenario.

All indices are within striking distance of getting close to new all time highs.

Here is a list of  how  far indices  / sectors are from new highs :

S&P 500            33 points away 

RUT                   36 points away

SOX                   83 points away

Nasdaq              122 points away

Dow                 1139 points away

Here is how RSI in all indices / index

S&P 500           63.01

Dow                  62.72

SOX                  56.78

Nasdaq              55.57

RUT                  48.92

Based on RSI, S&P 500 & Dow are looking very healthy and should  make new all time highs soon. Russell is weakest .

CMF is positive in all indices / index

Based on how close we are to making new all time highs, market is behaving well.

Strong stocks are behaving well and are making new all time highs already.

In a diversified portfolio, individuals can do as well as market.

Gold is getting deeply oversold and may warrant a look AEM is a good stock and is trading near lower end of range.

Solar stocks also behaving well lately and may have found a bottom, JKS, CSIQ looks good technically.

Good luck with your own strategy and your take on markets.

Hi Saleem,

Last week's performance: -1.32% (YTD: +30.07%)
Notable Winners: BEAT
Notable Losers: VRNS HUYA APPN TRIL MOMO SAIL

It turned out to be a rough week based on some earnings reports and weakness in Chinese new-economy stocks. I feel an uneasiness about the market with continued worldwide declines and some weakening of the small cap indices.

Holdings: BEAT VICR APPN PANW PYPL VRNS SPLK TPIC DAVA GSKY SAIL MU PS TRUP HUYA VCEL TRIL TENB MOMO, cash 0.0%

Hi Saleem,

Sold PYPL @ 85.37

I needed to raise some cash, and this was the stock acting most sluggish. I'll probably buy it back tomorrow when I sell PS and/or TRUP (since I've somewhat re-thought my positions in these).

Bought CSOD @ 51.16

After years of sluggish momentum, these guys seem finally back on track. They are very cheap compared to their cloud peers, and this positions them for gains either because of share appreciation or a takeover.
