Markets finished near highs for the second consecutive day, however volume tapered off compared to yesterdays levels. The Nazz has continued its out performance leading the way with a 1.5% gain compared to the S&P 500s .9% advance. Although stronger volume would give the recent strength some credence, leading stocks are behaving better. More stocks are setting up valid buy points, and are coming from more diverse sectors besides defensive ones. DPZ 28.55 in a 3 week tight pattern, ROST 77.78 in a double bottom with handle buy point and BVN 49.55 in a cup with handle base. V is also setting up a 90.93 cup base buy point. ATHN gained almost 9% today after last weeks breakout. GMCR broke out earlier today from a 111.52 cup base but closed below that mark by the end of the day. Looked much like MA did last Thursday, after breaking out, and closing below the actual buy point. Sectors that demonstrated solid relative strength today were transports, health care and retail. Retail gains were all the more impressive since the consumer accounts for 2/3s of GDP growth. Names such as VFC DECK COH LULU all rose more than 3% each today.
