Wednesday After Market

Markets Wednesday performed admirably. Volume rose on a day where the indexes staged an upside reversal. They not only shrugged off early weakness, but closed upon their highs for the day. Very bullish action indeed. Some leading stocks broke out as well. BIDU took out a a 131.73 flat base buy point. FCX screamed ahead 4% and reclaimed its 50 day MA. The Nasdaq also outperformed the S&P 500, a rarity these days ,despite miserable days from CREE ADBE. Tech and miners were strong, while banks lagged. Tomorrow brings durable goods data, and BBY reports earnings before the bell and ORCL RIMM ACN after the close.

Good luck.

We purchased both FCX TTM as they both reclaimed their 50 day MAs today. Of course we regret selling FCX at the open yesterday, but we also had the courage to buy it at its 200 day MA 10 days ago when it seemed no one wanted it.
