Tuesday Recap

Markets Tuesday staged a strong rally, especially the Nasdaq which motored ahead by 2.2%. In the process, it retook its 200 day MA. Volume was heavy, however trade was tame by normal standards Monday. Breakouts, a rarity these days, occurred today. HS cleared a 45.21 flat base buy point. Others tried, but closed just beneath valid buy points. Those included TUP HOC. Retail was strong once again today with leaders in the group potent. LULU FOSL TIF all hit all time highs Monday. Gold and silver stocks surged today. AEM PAAS were both up 7%. SLW up 6%. ARUN was higher by more than 9%. The feel of the market to me was that of short covering, or a dead cat bounce. The violent move of the previous mentioned stocks as well as some big moves in the ag sector, are reminiscent of sharp, volatile bear market moves. Of course we are not in a classic defined 20% lower bear, but the poor action suggests strength should be sold into. That being said the move must be respected. Pick your spots on the charts, keep losses small, and let the winners run. Same as always. ADBE was down after hours, while JBL was flat. Greece Parliament gave their PM a vote of confidence as well after the close. Wednesdays economic reports include oil inventories and interest rate announcement from the Fed. Both are reported during market hours. Earnings announcements tomorrow include FDX before the bell and BBBY PAYX RHT after the close among the stocks we follow.

Good luck.

Still in cash. Although I have missed out on recent gains, I sold all my stocks from prices well North of here. Does not mean I am not kicking myself.
