Monday Thoughts

Markets Monday fell, but managed to finish off the lows for the day. Back during the healthy rally many months ago, Mondays were generally a very strong day. Not so anymore. The Nasdaq did maintain support at its 50 day MA, but the S&P 500 was not as fortunate. Volume was light compared to Fridays levels. Some bright spots did emerge from the soft day today. AAPL recorded an all time high today in strong trade. BHI broke out from a double bottom with handle base at 75.70. Gold and silver stocks rose as bullion eclipsed the $1600 mark for the first time. Some retail stocks behaved fairly well. For the most part it obviously was a weak day. New highs versus new lows was negative. The S&P 500 slashing through 50 day support and the weak performance of economic bellwether FDX, along with all the political and fiscal concerns here and abroad reared their ugly heads. After the close IBM WYNN were trading higher on solid earnings reports. Tomorrow will bring more heavyweights earnings from the likes of AAPL ALTR CMG CSX VMW RVBD FTNT after the bell and KO FRX HOG BTU UNH before the bell.
