Several things favored today's rally: (1) ORCL good earning; (2) oil dropped to $60...........But other than these two things, what else can we name to justify the rally?
Per cnnfn.com, the oil fall may be due to a liquidation of one hedge fund in energy. When the firm is done with its liquidation, we will see oil zoom back quickly. Plus, people forgot sunday's Time.com's aricle: Bush is preparing to attack Iran.
At day like today, bad news tends to be easily to forget: just 24 hours ago, YHOO issued a warning. But GOOG did have a hair cut today even in a strong day of the market.
Semi is noticeably weak, and posted a minimal gain. We just had MXIM warning 48 hours ago. Today, just a 30 minutes ago, we had another warning from SLAB, a consumer electronics player.
As I said yesterday, I took a short right after FED made annoucement. It is break even now. But I am sure I will make good profit on this one.
