Looks like my holding in ISRG should do well tomorrow.....beat earnings by $.10/share.


I also picked up some ICE yesterday......its my contrarian pick.


I also think NDAQ and NYX should do fine long term.


good thing oil and NG are finally staging a pullback....hopefully this continues so this fall I can buy some more shares in futures and equities of these fine underpriced companies.


Keep buying all over at these low prices of solid companies.

I still don't like the financials or housing....I just don't see the bull case right now.....but to each their own....I can see the contrarian view....and understand it.

It's a large scale short covering rally. The top 150 stocks with the highest short % of the float rallied 15%, 2% on the flip side with the lowest 150 % of float short.

The government's actions will not add value or earnings to struggling banks. Putting a floor under fannie and freddie is not a solution. I'm still long C and UYG but I'll be buying the skf once I sell UYG.
