Market Look

Greetings from out west where one falls asleep late and wakes up at 4 am. Yippee! Futures are up as the bounce off of Wednesday’s nausea continues. Brazil bounces back a bit off of yesterday’s drubbing. We almost was thinking about probing the drop but no thanks. NASDAQ/NDX/SOX remain the strongest but leave no doubt…

As we said earlier, things going to get random. At 1035 am, NASDAQ up 48…at noon, only up 15. But don’t blink. We do not like micromanaging. We just wanted to point out what typically happens after a day like yesterday. Take your time here.

Because of that, we reported to you to avoid retail, biotech, commodities, energy, oil&gas, autos, transports and financials. Financials…

As you know, we have been stating that the market has been narrowing with 40% of the market in not so good shape. We have stated to avoid areas like commodities, energy, retail, biotech, autos transports and recently financials. Financials had not been hit hard but were certainly in the “loss of relative strength” camp….

Just letting you know watching them financials (BANKS,REGIONALS,S&Ls)real closely. They have been sitting range-bound under the 50 day moving average since March 21 with no ability to get back above resistance. The good news is that support has held throughout the many weeks. Support looks like it is going to be tested again soon. Needless…
