The Morning Look
Market Update:
Stock futures are quiet ahead of Tuesday’s open as the market pauses to digest its recent post brexit rally and digests the latest round of earnings season.
Economic Data: First off…earnings continue to stink but BEAT THE NUMBER IS AT HAND. IBM earnings DOWN 23% but stock is up. Not helping NETFLIX as they really coughed one up. We have told you we are worried about an entertainment bubble where there are too many outlets…and my goodness, futures are actually down. Call a doctor.

Humm,…,
Me cannot help butt.. wonder, is the fed holding up this extended market for the republican convention ?
Then after the convention, we hit; end of month window dressing ….
Then the first week of August…..,
maybe a pull back to the fifty day…
I no longer try to read the market, rather I try to read the minds of the folks who rig it.
