EB Watch List Update Report
Dear Members:
Please note:
We have updated our Candidate Tracker, removing those stocks we are no longer following and adding some new ones. Right now there are a total of 147 stocks on the Candidate Tracker, some that might end up on our Watch List. Feel free to check them out!
MARKET NOTE:
The market is so far looking much better than it did the past three trading sessions. All of the major indexes are higher though remain technically challenged. I pointed out to everyone recently that the 20 day moving averages on both the Dow and S&P are below their respective 50 day moving averages which I never like to see. So it's hard to say if what we are seeing today is simply an oversold bounce or if there's any staying power. I see there are a ton of puts and calls at a strike price of $210 on the SPY (underlying ETF for the S&P) which tells me the market makers would love to see the SPY close right around that level by Friday's options expiration. So perhaps a near term floor has been put in. However we've got to get through the FOMC rate announcement tomorrow to see if there's any change in tone which is highly unlikely. Key for the bulls on any renewed selling will be to hold 2072 on the S&P. In them meantime a move and close back above 2103 would be bullish.
ADDITIONS TO WATCH LISTS:
Note we are adding Microsoft (MSFT) to our Large Cap Watch List at current entry at $45.80 with a second entry at $44. All details including target and stop loss will be added to our site prior to tomorrow's open.
