About market, TAPE closed near low of the day and only Dow closed UP. Internals were all negative. TAPE is faltering badly for 2 days with internals being leading indicator of  weakness, I am extremely uncomfortable with this TAPE and may see downside action accelerating. I have taken defensive action by reducing my exposure by 30%.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

Cut TRIL almost in half @ 5.35

This is an investment that's not working despite catalysts, so I need to move on. I will look to sell the rest at some point.

Hi Explorer,

I bought some PRU calls in my trading account earlier today. It looks like a good breakout on the chart along with positive analyst commentary recently and rates/equities moving higher.
