US stock market has gone through extreme volatility in last 2 trading days.....
Technicians are rejuvenated in their extreme bearish thesis, all looking for short term weakness and have their own target as to how low we go.....
I am very comfortable when there is negativity, a perfect time to sift through opportunities.
Market will do what it needs to do
Stocks will do what it wants to do
Thus we have to balance negativity with opportunity......
BUT most traders and investors are always looking for " perfect environment with guarantee of UP move "
That ideal scenario never exists, thanks to Hedge fund strategy, analyst manipulation and company news......always challenging is the word.....
You have to figure out which sector / stock works for you.....
Here is the RSI picture to help you sort through broad market picture :
XLE 49.92
IWM 50.58
S&P 500 51.72
DOW 52.03
GLD 53.45
SOX 55.36
JETS 56.54
IF we look @ the above table, most maligned and hated sector is the strongest, so much for Wall Street wisdom.....YES i am highlighting JETS....Airlines are the strongest, probably will perform the best going forward, they have the-most positive leverage with an upturn in US economy.
Those @ home famous stocks are already @ or near all time highs and needs rest or sideways action.....
SOX is the most logical place to find good long term values as economy and their business gets on track.
Gold may need rest also as economic activity improves daily......fear subsides which takes away gold punch bowl.
Casino stocks are poised to do very well, from zero revenue to gradual picking up of disposable dollars.
Restaurant chains are in the same league from nothing to normalcy........
SO...think out of the " CNBC box " and make sound investment / trading decision....
Good luck with your own thesis and comfort level.

Hi Saleem,
Last week: -2.46% (YTD: +29.16%)
Notable Winners: DDOG ADPT SAIL
Notable Losers: PSNL ENPH AVYA GH CGC NXPI
The volatility returned and the portfolio encountered losses, although some nice winners contained the damage. It is getting harder to know the right moves from this point, but the Fed keeping rates low and liquidity high should continue to drive stocks, albeit with some bumps along the way. I'm trying to stick with my long term growth stories during this time and may make further adjustments this week.
Holdings: DDOG PINS QLYS NXPI AKAM WEN PLAN ADPT LOW SAIL GH CGC AVYA PSNL, cash 6.2%

Hi Saleem,
Bought BHVN @ 64.50
Their sales momentum seems too strong to stay on the sidelines.

Hi Guys,
Last week Down 3.91%
Added PS today @ 17.41
Added BHVN at 65.60 - Thanks to Stocktrader for this one.. I checked after earlier update and bought it. Recent upgrades could take this to 80+ soon.
I am still holding GAN which is up big today. It is reporting tomorrow AH and is expected to beat particulary with gaming winning numbers that were shared by NJ and PA. DKNG may move much higher if GAN beats.

Hi Paramjeet,
Good luck with HCAT BHVN and more of PS....
Saleem
Hi Paramjeet,
Good luck with the new additions!
I looked at DKNG this morning when deciding which position to initiate. I guess I should have tried harder to free up more funds after selecting BHVN for first play.

Saleem

Hi Saleem,
Good luck with more AAL!
Hi Explorer,
Good luck with DKNG - it's eternally on my shopping list like DDOG was (and finally got).

Hi Guys,
Market is unpredictable and volatility shown is amazing. Premarket was in deep red with 600-700 point down in DOW and then DOW closes 150 points up (Fed news) - WoW!!
This week is going to be interesting fight between bulls and bears.
Sold PLAN @ 46.10 due to poor price action compared to peers.
Good Luck with stock adds..
Paramjeet
