About market, TAPE was under pressure before open but came back to life after news came that oil supply will be restored  within 1 month, Indices closed @ high of the day. Internals were mixed. It is all about Fed statement around 2 PM which in my opinion will be market friendly, means a .25% rate cut and future rates will be data dependent based on trade deal also.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

Sold CSTL @ 22.33

It's hard to see a catalyst from these levels if the Fed moves more towards neutral from easing.

Hi Saleem,

Sold ACST @ 2.20 to take profits

It pains me to sell a stock that appears to be performing so well, and should have much greater long term value. I just fear a hawkish Fed, and they definitely need to raise capital soon.

Hi Saleem,

I now have 35% cash, and feel comfortable with my current portfolio.

Holdings: PLAN FSLR LITE FB CSOD ACMR VICR TRIL

I can articulate a good long term story for all these stocks and am willing to absorb whatever Fed commentary comes out. I am also willing to rebuy stocks to full allocation again should the Fed talk dovishly.

Hi Stocktrader,

It is all about your comfort level given any major event like Fed policy announcement and Q & A.....

Good luck with your strategy!

Hi Saleem,

I do get the feeling though like everyone is defensively positioned, so we probably still have decent market buying interest at only slightly lower levels.

Hi Stocktrader,

Because of Saudi oil situation, Fed may take a more dovish stance....crowd is generally wrong in reading Fed moves.....
