Markets

BIOTECHS on breakout here. We have told you this is the most important group to the market right now as it is the RISK ON group. The NASDAQ edges out to all time highs. FINANCIALS continue to have the relative bid. The SEMIS held the 50 day average nicely. Regardless of all the bearish areas…

A few years back, we started the sarcastic, tongue-in-cheek mantra that “they will never raise rates unless the market makes them!” They have not let us down. In spite of pundits continually telling us when rates will go up, in spite of the fed constantly teasing, nothing ever happens. We have not had a rate…

While we are waiting on the fed today to tell us blah blah blah…and while the market continues to just move back and forth in a tight range, we wanted to talk Donald Trump. Besides the fact that we love success stories like Donald Trump, we wanted to address the reaction to the news he…

Hey…we now have a Bush and a Clinton running for Prez. Rumor has it the great great great grandson of John Adams is next! Not much to say today. More yuck yesterday overall. But the good news is there remains a handful of strong cyber-security names, growth semis and a few others but after that……

That has not changed…BUT THE SHORTER TERM ACTION MAY HAVE CHANGED. By the close, Tuesday’s action felt like…

You know our stance. It is simple. While the major indices continue to be range-bound (with a little dose of downside recently), many areas of the market remain in poor shape. That has not changed…BUT THE SHORTER TERM ACTION MAY HAVE CHANGED. By the close, Tuesday’s action felt like a market being sold out on…

We are getting to that point in time again where the major indices are now in the midst of joining all the areas that are already bearish…but first, disclaimer time. EVERY TIME THE MARKET HAS BEEN IN TROUBLE, THE PIXIE DUST FROM CENTRAL BANKS HAS SAVED THE DAY. WE CANNOT COUNT THAT OUT. In fact,…
