MARKET STANCE

When looking at the context of a Fed day reaction like we saw yesterday, its always appropriate to get a little backfill. Specifically, I always take the price of the market prior to the reaction. In this case, the $SPX was 2067. So long as this area is defended and prices are able to accept values above this level, this is bullish.

Most importantly I wanted to see where the markets appetite for risk was. The Russell and Nasdaq are clearly outperforming, and this relative strength suggests better performance in riskier assets. If you look at the stocks rallying the most today, Biotech, software, alt energy, and several high beta names. I was hoping to see more action out of the stocks that lagged the market yesterday, but those I chose to follow have been mixed.

I’m obviously still bullish on stocks here. As we slip back into the grind mode, I’m looking for more dips to buy.

    What is the fascination with YELP? 7061 other stocks to buy rather than this crappy one.
