The Dip Was Purchased; Retail Stocks Lead the Way

Stocks have rebounded from this morning’s lows — the first lower low in 10 trading days. But truth be told, I’m entirely distracted now — dealing with brake jobs for two cars, while juggling a sundry of household items that would make Clark Griswold proud.

Apparel stocks are taking off, up more than 2%. This is what I call ‘pure bullshit’, seeing a sector that is known to be disheveled and horrible trade higher amidst weak volume. At your local hedge fund, only punks are manning the turrets for trading now — as most of the very smart and very rich managers are summering in the northeast corridor of the United States.

Ever since all of those gents from Africa have made their way up into Europe, most of the people I know are avoiding the continent, save the most eastern parts. Anyone traveling south for the summer is just plain stupid and the west coast is, well, the west coast — filled with gamblers and huckster, men of little distinction.

Market breadth is at 50%, meaning this is a tepid rally.

Here are the top sectors for the day.

Very soon, I’ll be taking a road trip up north, visiting parts of Massachusetts, Main and Rhode Island. If any of you have some good restaurants worth trying, heading up that way, feel free to share.

    Gundlach spreading fake news saying the VIX will actually go up. This man must be insane. He has also made wild claims that the market would go down 3%, this is a prime example of the insanity coming from this clown.

    Think you spoke to soon and neglected to anticipate that our moronic leader conducts foreign policy by Tweet. Get him out before he kills us all.

    If you are looking for a sophisticated meal I highly suggest some Olneyville New York System Wieners, with everything on them and extra armhair. Wash it down with some coffee milk. http://www.olneyvillenewyorksystem.com/

    Andino’s Italian Restaurant on Federal Hill will put a smile on your face as well. http://www.andinositalianrestaurant.com/
