Indices took it on the chin today & by close, it was down up to 1.46%.
Selling was attributed to Fed minutes, but in my opinion, it was simply a case of booking profit while some catalyst like ER are awaiting.
S&P 500 closed @ 1398.96
RSI @ 54.25

About market, my favourite contrarian Doug Kass, showed up on CNBC claiming that we are overvalued by 5% to 8%, which means he is predicting S&P 500 to go to 1287. I am personally of the opinion, that we have a very good chance of closing green for Thursday. Like many other pullbacks, we had exactly
1.99% pullback from S&P high of 1422.38 to today's low of 1394.09. IF you can believe it, we actually had higher low compared to previous pullback.
Sector focus will remain the same in this market, Tech, Housing, Retail are the bright spot.
BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi C,
ReplyDeleteI am expecting a green close, BUT it may not mean that everything we own will be green......
I am hoping for an improvement in my portfolio.
Pre-market action generally is a tell-tale of how it will do by close.
Good recap & analysis.
