Stocks fell again Wednesday but managed to finish off the lows. An oil spike and fear of contagion in the Middle East threw fear the markets way. Energy related names starred once again and retail, steel and transports fell. Volume came in higher for a second consecutive day. Stocks winners unrelated to energy were hard to find although AAPL managed to rally off its 50 day moving average in good volume. Leading stocks are not breaking out of bases and many are slicing through important moving averages. Some of finding support at long term trend lines. As always respect the markets price action whether it agrees with your beliefs or not. PCLN up 5% after the close on earnings. Tomorrow we have earnings from FWLT GM NEM SHLD TGT before the open and AMAT DECK OVTI CRM after the close.
Although we are not recommending buying stocks breaking out from bases while the market is in correction mode its always wise to keep your watch list handy because the rally can resume at anytime. Some stocks that remain above their recent buy points are BHI above its 70.09 3 weeks tight buy point. CVX above its 98.33 cup with handle buy point. SLW above its 40.10 double bottom buy point. Keep an eye on relative strength during correction mode.
