EB Watch List Update Report
Dear Members:
Market Update:
The love fest with blue chip stocks continues with the Dow hitting a new all time high as it inches closer to 27,000. The rotation out of "risk" stocks into those seen as safer bets in the current environment has become more apparent the past month with the NASDAQ losing its status as the go-to index. Maybe some good news for traders; there are MANY stocks, particularly in the NASDAQ, that are extremely oversold that might soon be seen as bargains. We've got a few of those stocks on our Watch List that could bounce substantially IF traders start putting money into some of the beaten down stocks. However, we will stick to our discipline of tight stops just in case we see further selling. The S&P tried to clear resistance at 2940 but so far has been unsuccessful in reaching a new all time high; the bears are well aware that they could be in more trouble if the S&P hits a new high. Even with the NASDAQ lagging here the bulls remain in charge. IF they can find a way to get all of the major indexes humming in sync traders might get more excited, especially with earnings season ready to kick off late next week.
