Yesterday, NASDAQ/NDX/SOX hit 50 day moving average and bounced nicely with broader market having good day. We remain cautious on the areas that held the 50 day so far as they are trading a little wider and looser and have had a good run. To be watched. Gee…financials pass the stress test so financials will…

After dropping 168 NASDAQ  points in 2 days down almost to the penny to the 50 day average…good bounce today into the end of quarter, pre-holiday period. A few things to remember: BIOTECHS still in shape. They were hit yesterday but technically, still fine. Helping out today. The SOX is sitting around the 50 day….

FINANCIALS get going again. There remains a direct correlation between big and medium financials and yields. The…

S&P futures almost flat but NASDAQ/NDX futures down decently because: GOOGL down $12 as European anti-trust wants to fine them 2.4 billion euros for skewing searches in their favor…and just overall sloppy action yesterday in tech/internet. To be watched…ESPECIALLY THE SEMIS. OIL prices strong this morning. Energy remains in a bear market but a word…

We never like strong opens and weak closes. Watching the SEMIS and the big TECH/INTERNET and all that stuff. We are less than thrilled with the pattern on the SOX as it drops and wedges up. And now the potential for the same in a lot of tech names . Also, the biggies are now…
