EB Watch List Update Report
Dear Members:
MARKET NOTE:
The market has tacked on a few gains today with the NASDAQ has maintaining its top notch status as it nears being technically overbought. For sure traders are almost solely focused on earnings as they get ready for a week packed with numbers. This includes Apple, the largest market cap company in the world, and MSFT, both which will report earnings after the bell tomorrow. So far traders must like what they have seen with the NASDAQ topping 5200 for the first time very last week and the S&P nearing its all time high. A close above 2130 would be bullish. The VIX remains on the low end of the spectrum with traders comfortable at the moment being long stocks. So far a nice start to the new trading week.
