Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Tesla, Alphabet (Google), Facebook, and Nvidia now account for 26.4% of the S&P500 and a whopping 50.7% of the $QQQ. To put that in perspective, at the height of the internet bubble, the four horsemen of that time were; CISCO, INTEL, MICROSOFT, and ORACLE. At their peak, they accounted for 15.40% of the S&P 500. Now that you know this, it is easy to see how the market of stocks peaked in February, yet the indices continued their march higher without a hiccup. The FAATMAN's masked what was going on with most stocks underneath the surface for [...]

The RUSSELL 2000 Small-Cap index has finally broken out. The index was stuck in a range for 8-months. 8-months of sideways action, while its big brothers $SPY and $QQQ were marching higher. Hopefully, this breakout brings more opportunities for individual stocks. While the SP500 has inched higher all year, it has done so without many stocks participating. Over the last couple of days, we have seen that change a little. This breakout could make trading GREAT again. The Mid Caps also broke higher from a multi-month base.

Every trader, money manager, GURU, hot innovative fund, etc., will go through the four unavoidable stages in the market; Rip higher, rug-pull, grind higher, sideways/chop action. Rip higher, a great period, everything is clicking. You are the hottest thing since sliced bread, money finds you, you are the talk of the town, you are literally the next Warren Buffet. Then the rug is pulled from under you, swift nasty action, you lose in a couple of weeks what to took you months to make.  After a few months, you start to grind it out, slow, steady action, you are mechanical, [...]

Yesterday we had a Black Monday type sell-off in the Crypto market. It all started after the Salvadoran President bought Bitcoin, making Salvador the first country to adopt Bitcoin as a legal tender. Bitcoin hit a four-month high of $52,944 and had an intraday low of $42,830, -19%. The other cyptos follow suit, $LTC.X intraday loss -27%, $ETH.X intraday loss -23%. It was an all-for-one, one-for-all type deal; they all got slaughtered. The Salvadoran President immediately averaged down the minute $BTC.X had a mini flash crash. Talk about emotion-based trading. For him, every dip under his cost will now be [...]

• Bitcoin hit a high of $64,899 on 4/14/2021. • Over the next 35-days, high to low= -53.77% • The high today was 44,000 & the low was 30k, -31.8%, basically a 1987 style type crash. • Major Crypto exchanges were down. • Monday, October 19, 1987, is known as Black Monday. • The stock market fell more than 20% in a single day. • Many years ago, big stock market corrections had a habit of testing and at times undercutting the big panic sell-off day a month later or so. Take a look. 1987 1990 1998 2002 2008 2010 [...]

The markets are at all-time highs or a stone's throw away from all-time highs, but underlying breadth is not what you expect it to be, with indices at highs. This reminded me of August 2015 when the SP500 was at highs, but most individual names were in the gutter. At the time, the bloggers were pointing out how the SP500 A-D line was at highs, and everything was fine. The traders were complaining about the action, setups after setups were failing, nothing was gaining traction.
