Thursday’s Morning Look
Market Update:
Stock futures are higher ahead of Thursday’s open as the market continues to flirt with record highs.
Gary’s Thoughts: Just a tad higher. OIL PRICES rally…so oversold energy will bounce but still avoid. TSLA now down this morning on another loss. If we had to guess, we think TSLA will need to raise money as they burned through $1 billion. To make cars, you need capital. Otherwise, all quiet this morning.

Gary’s Thoughts: So far…oil prices have been flattish for quite a while.
We broke !
ER aah,,the ETF sectors I watch for market leadership…., they broke..
Problem is, IWM broke first, and it is near the 50 day support.
IWM, if it holds the 50 day, the break down could well be over.
So, we watch,
like a cat,,
sitting on a fence post,,
looking down into the grass,,
waiting for a mouse.
EOM ( end of month ).
My two secret indicators, are saying smart players are looking for a fall here, so ooooo….. IWM may well break the 50 day, leading us lower…
Gotta go, me and the boys are going to the local Jewish cemetery,, we are going kick down some tombstones..
