Markets displayed solidarity once again Wednesday. This time volume kicked in to boot. Though on average it was not the robust type of trade you would like to see. But the environment has changed in recent days making equity purchases a less hazardous proposition. Both the Nasdaq and S&P 500 are back above their 50 day MAs and leading stocks are breaking out more each day. Some leaders are hitting all time highs today such as PH TBL CVX CTSH WLL. CLR WAT CMI are extremely close to hitting their all time highs. Keep in mind tomorrow is the end of the quarter and possible window dressing could be in full effect. Powerful moves are traditional during these times. Perhaps we have already seen the move since it is so widely anticipated. Wednesday truck parts were among the strongest groups, with transports among the weaker. Semis can not seem to reclaim their luster as they hit a headwind at their 50 day MA for the fourth consecutive day. MOS was down slightly after the bell on earnings. KMX reports before the open and economic reports include factory data orders and Chicago purchasers index.

Interesting tidbit PCLN is near 11 year highs but stock still has to double to reach its almost $1000 price tag it hit during the dot com boom a little more than a decade ago.

We purchased RAX today as it broke out from a 40.72 cup without handle pattern. We paid a little more than we would have liked ($41.80) but are still profitable and happy. At least for now.
Good luck.
