About market, TAPE showed its strength by closing mixed after two days of big gains, internals improved further. Reaction to similar earnings are treated totally different, why is it that way this Q, only gods of this market know. I expect TAPE to make further progress in a selective manner. Taking profit quickly is a good strategy.

Is US market ready to tumble ?
We are witnessing TAPE in serious trouble in US market.
First, there was extreme euphoria and nobody was worried @ all, this prevailed until start of last week.
By the end of last week, everybody realised that TAPE is not looking healthy @ all.
Indices are showing varying level of weakness......
Nasdaq gave false sense of comfort by staying well above 50 & 200 DMA...
S&P 500 is below 50 DMA and is ready to pierce 200 DMA
Dow is below 50 & 200 DMA and is substantially lower than 200 DMA.....
China is the real culprit, which has shaken all commodities to its knees... Chinese economy has been in freefall since 2008 peak, in my analysis, Chinese economy has not found its lowest point yet, that is where the trouble is for rest of the world......
Chinese stat is jumping all over, private agencies are calling it right while government stat are rosier than reality.
US stock market was ignoring Chinese weaknesses as if it was not happening , but by Friday everyone has woken up to the fact that China is still slumping.
Oil has also shaken many Oil producing economies, Saudi Arabia is floating bonds to make up for the shortfall, Canada has shown contraction and its currency is 30%+ lower than US.
Oil & Chinese weakness cannot be ignored anymore......
US stock market may correct more to adjust to this new global issue.
I have a feeling that Nasdaq may come close to 200 DMA which is 4849.29, Nasdaq closed on Friday @ 5088.63, that level is 239.34 points away or another 4.7% slump to be expected. This correction may take us back to March 2014....
Obviously similar or more weakness to be expected in Dow , then S&P 500.
Dow may slump 7% and S&P 500 another 6%, these are all my guesses based on current read.
There is no way to escape this kind of correction.
Inverse exposure may work.
Lower exposure is better......
Weak stocks may suffer twice as much and may not come back.
Strong stocks may suffer more, but they will recover much faster and eventually get ahead.
SO...... CAUTION is warranted @ this stage, when amber flashes, you are expected to slow down.

About market, TAPE was weak again, Dow is below 50 & 200 DMA, while S&P 500 is below 50 DMA, Nasdaq remains well above 50 & 200 DMA. Tonight earning reports are stellar, this should give Nasdaq a big boost on Friday. This is extremely selective market, few stocks are going UP, while majority are getting weaker or getting stuck in a very narrow range. Important to have heavy weighting of strong stocks and peel weak ones.

About market, TAPE showed some resiliency by closing above lows of the day, even AAPL closed @ highest point of the day, this contrary move was obvious by my mid day report. Indices have found their footing and will work its way higher again, It is important to recognize short term overbought conditions, so you do not get euphoric near top. Earnings report is much better tonight, this should help sentiment on Thursday.

Tale of two markets....
IF you believe what Nasdaq is doing, then market looks super strong.
Nasdaq @ series of new all time high...
BUT SOX a deeper component of Nasdaq is 12.62% lower than its high.
This is a clear cut definition of this market, its a NFLX, FB GOOGL PANW market , these stocks are making new all time highs while SOX is struggling big time.
I have never seen a market environment, where one index like Nasdaq is in a runaway bull market while its most important component SOX lags badly.
Dow is 14.44% below its all time high, another deviation which i have never seen before is a Nasdaq only led bull market....
This is "highly troubling"
SO...the question is, what to expect going forward and what could be a good strategy.....
Going forward , this is not a season to have strong TAPE action...
It is extremely difficult to duplicate what has happened in stock prices of above listed stocks.
AAPL is expected to report this week, will it show a growth in profit like Google, that is left to be seen.
I see sporadic strength continuing till the end of earning season, but after that a pullback.
VIX is telling us that we are nearing a "top"
Anytime VIX is in 11 area , we are staring @ top of the market.
3 year low is 10.28, we did hit 11.77 , which is a 1 year low.
It is important to know what is a "historical norm "
History always guides us, when to be "super optimistic " and when to be "super cautious "
We may have reached the other extreme of this fulcrum.
Good luck with your own analysis and comfort level.

About market, TAPE had to face many issues, Chinese GDP which came in way better than expected and caused "credibility of numbers ", Greece votes in parliament with protest in focus, finally Greece parliament has accepted EU debt deal. Janet Yellen is "too optimistic about US economy". Canada is struggling with recession and China in serious slowdown. traders decided to take a "wait and see attitude". I think we resume our UP move on Thursday.

About market, TAPE had to face many issues, Chinese GDP which came in way better than expected and caused "credibility of numbers ", Greece votes in parliament with protest in focus, finally Greece parliament has accepted EU debt deal. Janet Yellen is "too optimistic about US economy". Canada is struggling with recession and China in serious slowdown. traders decided to take a "wait and see attitude". I think we resume our UP move on Thursday.

Greece hangover continues......
We are back to square 100, it is back to Greece parliament to enact legislation to implement what they have been rejecting then accepting, it has become a trust issue.
Based on published report, it will take another week before we know, what was really accomplished or agreed on.
Market will be under pressure again on Monday on non finalization of Greece refinancing.
Greece needs to implement VAT, Pension Reform, Privatization by Wednesday, lot of drama on CNBC....
China is another issue, where government is directing / dictating stock prices, never ends well.
We have to keep an eye on lows of Tuesday, IF we hold, then we may be OK for digestive phase.
Many Oil countries are facing hardship, Canada included, we are on the verge of going into recession in Canada.
Lot of buying $$ have been taken out due to low low Oil prices, not good for any economies, when there is disruption in major commodity like oil, there are hedges in place which can bring its own problems.
Again, there is another chance to rejig your portfolio on Monday, IF there is selling, good stocks will be on sale again.
It is a wise move to rid of your portfolio of weak stocks, i think i have completed this process on Friday, never too late to get rid of losers.
This summer has not been good for many portfolios, as many strong stocks have pulled back on China & Greece issues.
Do not hesitate to add exposure in quality stocks and away from weak performers or speculative stocks.
Good luck with your own analysis & comfort level.
