First and foremost, lets all begin tonight with an immense respect, admiration and condolences for a truly one of a kind, Steve Jobs. Our world will never be the same. Thank you for making all our lives easier and more enjoyable. RIP.
Markets forged ahead for the second consecutive day Wednesday. And for the second straight day the markets closed strongly into the close. This type of behavior has been rare recently. The S&P 500 outperformed the Nazz by a 2.3% to 1.8% margin. The Nazz is now 60 points away from its 50 day MA which has posed problems for the index repeatedly for the last month. Speaking of round numbers like we did yesterday the Nazz rallied from a low of basically 2300 and now sits just over 2460. 160 handles in 2 days. The S&P 500 now rests just under 40 points from its 50 day MA. Commodities regained the spotlight today as risk seems to have come back on for the last couple of days. Lets see if that trend continues. Copper stocks were up handsomely today with SCCO up 10%, FCX 7%. Ags rose again with POT AGU DE all up over 4%. BHI rose 8%, SU 9.5%, wll 10% in the energy sector. SDS is once again nearing a 50 day test around 24. VXX, a fear indicator has backed off now 12% in the last couple of days. As we still remain in a correction, remember bear market rallies are swift and volatile, a couple of stocks must be included in your watch list building valid bases. They are VFC 132.92 in a cup with high handle base, and DLTR 79.45 in a 3 week tight pattern. DSW is in the process of structuring its right side of its base. Can this rally be the start of something different? Who knows. As always let me indexes, and their leading stocks and volume be the best guide as to when to begin allocating capital. We did retest the lows. Perhaps plenty of stops were taken out and now things may be for real. About the only sector that lagged today were the gold/silver miners group.
