Markets did basically nothing Monday and volume did the same. It was soft. Perhaps indexes are resting and consolidating after a strong 2 weeks. Leading stocks continued to act in a healthy manner. BHP TPX OPEN BIDU all hit all time highs today. LULU continues to hover over its recent breakout buy point stubbornly. UA, HS continue to pack on more gains as well, after last Fridays breakouts. CE broke out from a cup base today. Both WNR BWA broke out above buy points but lacked the volume to be considered legitimate. On the downside AAPL continues to lag, and then semis are being battered around repeatedly. After the close TXN did mention they will acquire NSM at a very rich 78% premium. Lets see how the market greets the news tomorrow. Not much on the earnings front to report of tomorrow.

Regarding the semis, in the aftermath of TXNs announcement after hours, who knows if it will signal a change of heart among the group. If they shall try to reassume leadership again look for the stocks that held up well in the face of the sector selloff. About 20% of all the semis I look at on a daily basis have held above their 50 day MAs. They include ALTR ARMH CAVM LRCX MCHP TER ASML NXPI. Look for them to show vigor, IF they become a strong group once again.
We bought F as it reclaimed its 50 day MA right here. Back on the "Mullaly Express".
Good luck.
