Tuesday Recap

Markets rebounded Tuesday, in weak volume. The major indicies closed off their highs for the day. Banks were stronger, while oil and precious metals stocks were weak. Leading stocks and sectors continue to either underperform or simply stall out and burn. Take FNSR which after the close plunged more than 30% post earnings. That took along with it JDSU. NFLX, which recently encountered competiton from AMZN, now will also have to worry about TWX streaming movies on Facebook. The SOX, which has been the number one performing sector as of late, which was hit for a 2.7% loss Monday, basically closed flat Tuesday. Not the type of roaring comeback you would like to see on a strong tape Tuesday. High volume selloff days have been mounting, but the indexes maintain 50 day support. Defensive groups have been gaining steam as medical, food, and utilities muster clout. That being said this market seems to keep finding bids just when it looks like its going to break. Will that fad end soon? Look to the market and its price and volume action for clues. Earnings Wednesday come from AEO before the open and SMTC after the close.
