About market, TAPE gave a clear signal today that all is not well on Wall & Broad St. IF I have to guess, that we may have seen peak in earnings, that means that there will be more contraction in PE.IF that is accurate then we have a bear market on hand, irrespective of any new development which may be taken as positive. Rallies in bear market are non existent, rallies are generally for maximum a day and then down days again. Rallies are also sold. There is no real way to play long in a bear market, only short or stay out.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Whaat a sell-off Saleem & Stocktrader. I haven’t seen such selling in my trading history. It seems there is no end to this. Good earnings are no longer positive for stocks.

Hi Explorer,

Bear market pay no attention to good earnings...it is all about adjustment to PE on lower earnings in 2019....valuation adjustment...

Hi Saleem,

Sold GTLS @ 61.87

This was a trade try that didn't work. I don't have large confidence into next year's earnings--it may be a story for the following year if the economic environment holds up decently.
