SU is a fully integrated Oil company of Canada from exploration to refining to retail gas stations under the banner of Petro Canada.....

SU remains my best idea for long term holding..expecting good thing going forward....

AH Futures UP

AH Asian Markets Mixed

AH Gold Down

About market, TAPE was under pressure due to Warren Buffett remarks, after opening sharply lower Nasdaq showed green first and other major indices followed, thus all green close and @ high of the day. Message of the market was " Warren you are too cautious "....Expect a robust Tuesday especially Oil stocks.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem and Stocktrader,

Bought EAT@20.60. Wanted an exposure on the beaten down sector. The company is placed well to recover fast and better perform than competitors. Last ER was amazing.

Thanks for your (stocktrader) insights on EAT and CATS yesterday.

Thanks

Hi Saleem,

Sold WDC @ 40.59 on relative weakness

This must be one of the work looking charts in the industry. I don't understand why because I thought the conference call was fairly positive, but I have to respect the price action.

Hi Saleem,

Sold ELF @ 12.75

It is acting unusually weak despite the new active investor. I'm not sure why, but I want to hold off for now.

Hi Saleem,

Sold AMD @ 52.74

It feels prudent to reduce exposure here and wait for new winners to emerge.

Hi Saleem,

I'm going to have to do a rethink I think. It seems like only technology rules again, and I had quite a bit of regular economic/cyclical exposure.
