The stock market continues to push higher with the DJIA up 89 points, the SPX up 5.7 and the Nasdaq Composite up 18 points. Oil was higher today and positively influenced our two trade ideas on Apache (APX) and Chevron (CVX).
In tonight’s video I look at today’s market action and talk about a revised scenario for gold (GLD) that seems much clearer to me. Continue reading
The market pushed higher again today continuing its levitation act that it’s been conducting for a few weeks now. The DJIA was up another 165 points and the S&P 500 (SPX) was up 24.6 points. All the indices showed solid gains today.
Although the SPX is just 30 points away from its all-time high, the NYSE Composite Index (NYA) has just today hit a 68% retracement of the move down and Russell 2000 (RUT) has just touched a 50% retracement level.
In addition to our review of the market action, I check our trade ideas. I may have forgotten to mention in the video, that we exited the last piece of the Whole Foods Market (WFM) trade idea, which closed that at a profit. Continue reading
In today’s trade ideas video I review trades closed last week on Goldman Sachs(GS), Celgene (CELG) and Netflix NFLX). I then review trade ideas on Whole Foods Market (WFM), Apache (APA) and Chevron (CVX) that are open. And lastly I look at a new trade idea on Twitter (TWTR). Continue reading

Stock market land mines continue to go off throughout this entire rally. IBM was down 4% today on news that the SEC was investigating their revenue recognition process. IBM is now down 9.5% from its Oct. 9 countertrend closing high.
And Twitter (TWTR) reported earnings after the market closed and hit a land mine, trading down 12.3% in after hours trading. Apple (AAPL) on the other hand was basically unchanged on their earnings, as of 5:15pm CT. Continue reading
I’ve been talking about another move down now for a while and today’s price action sure looks like a possible reversal bar on the DJIA. Of course we need continuation to confirm. The DJIA was down 48 points with the SPX down almost 12 and the Nasdaq Composite down 41.
In tonight’s Weekday Market Wrap video, in addition to our normal look at the U.S. markets, I look at the German DAX, Shanghai Composite Index and the Baltic Dry Index. Stocks tonight are Apple (AAPL), Goldman Sachs (GS), Twitter (TWTR) and Boeing (BA). I also show the disaster of the day…Valeant Pharmaceuticals (VRX). Continue reading
