* Like Led Zeppelin's iconic and mystical 1971 song, the market's advance has become almost an imbedded religious experience now * Buy the classics - the classic laggards (like ViacomCBS, Discovery and Amazon) * Rock on for now while the music is st...

* Another win for the bulls   Though I remain negative on the major Indexes, I thought the market did an exceptional job of keeping the outsized gains of the last few trading sessions today.   * Market breadth was about 5-3 positive as measured by t...

Liking the run in Twitter (+4%). I would be a buyer. The stock was in my laggards column of yesterday - along with ViacomCBS , Discovery , Silver/Gold, Walmart , and Amazon .    

The S&P is +50 handles and the Nasdaq +155 handles.  But, bank stocks - a recent market leading sector - which gapped a bit higher on the opening, are now virtually breakeven.  Tech stocks are soaring - despite higher interest rates, which, if they ...

* On the long side  While I find few stocks that meet my standard for selection (long) at current prices, here are some ideas:  * Amazon appears to have successfully moved above an important technical milestone at he price of $3100. The company's #s...

* What to do now  I continue to like ViacomCBS and Discovery as long trade rentals.  I liked yesterday's pin action in Verizon , Walmart , and Twitter .  And I would invest in all three at current prices - on the long side.  I still like Schwab  and...

I am still buying Walmart .

I am still adding to . Bidding for more . I have taken a small trading short rental in Goldman Sachs at $342.63.  

Walmart continues to rally - now up by nearly +$4share (+3%). I have built up a very large long position in the recent bout of weakness. I would still be buying this name if I wasn't so big.  

I added to my Walmart long today.
