The market went up again. Both NASDAQ and DOW are almost at their 52 week highs. Although it could move higher, there is nothing wrong taking profits here.
Closed IBM, CSCO and LOW positions.

Hitlist
I read Hitman’s Hitlist quite often. It’s a interesting saga of love affair, trading, and many things in life.
The market went up a bunch today after consumer confidence and new housing start data was released. DOW ended @8,781.35, NASDAQ @1,556.69, Russel @427.71 and S&P @951.48.
Targets: IBM @90, CSCO @16.6, MSFT @26 and LOW @42 (gap down as resistence).
Microsoft CEO sold 39 million shares…
Long MSFT calls: it held right at support level @24 and both BB and stochastic at extremes after a week of selling fuled by rumor of insider selling – it turned out that Steve Ballmer sold 39 million shares.
Long LOW, IBM and CSCO calls: expecting bounce from recent drops.
