My Buy and Sell List Over Summer

The tide for international stocks should be getting positive as the dollar strengthens.    Additionally, as oil strengthens the energy patch should be getting better as well.    Stick with high quality oil stocks as the oversupply is still very much intact.

Portfolio Change In Directions - Banks, Emerging Markets, and Oil

I think Banks, Emerging Markets, and Oil are about to breakout of their doldrums and in oils case a bear market.    Let me know your thoughts?

Sell in May and Walk Away Year?

The question has to be asked given the market is already jittery from: Low Oil, High Dollar, Greece, Ukraine, Russia, Syria, ISIS, Iraq, and North Korea?   So I think I am planning on selling some 5 month call options on stock favorites and selling some less than favorites.   The details of which will take some serious thought.  

Sold NAT - Right or Wrong Move?

I sold 250 shares of NAT.     Now I find out the Herby and his son purchased 50k shares between 10-11.    Will rates remain at the 35k per day rate or are they going lower after gasoline prices start to rise?    Also, given I assume this will be a U type recovery in Gasoline prices one would assume at least a slow disipation of tankers for storage.     So slightly bullish on the Short and Middle Terem

Long Term North America is becoming more and more independent and therefore fewer long term trips to North America from the Middle east or Mediterranean.    So slightly bearish on the long term.
