Waiting for bargains

Today's pullback does not seem like much in light of the recent run-up.
Yes, NTRI is down $4, but it was up almost $6 yesterday.

I am surprised, however, by the incredible weakness in the tech sector - NASDAQ has retreated to early March levels. I remember back in the 90s that tech stocks always softened in the summertime. Maybe we are back to that behavior.

Meanwhile, I am looking for some buys and I don't see any fabulous opportunities (TRID being the exception, of course). We are sitting on $8K+ of cash until we find a better place to put it.

Also, I don't think the retreat is enough. I want to see consolidation around 11400 and then move up.

  2. I'll take a look.

    The key right now is to find the steak amidst the sizzle. With the interest in alternative energy, there is a lot of hype and fad.

    That means higher risk and higher return opportunities.
