About market, TAPE slumped in the last hour and closed @ low of the day, S&P 500 and Dow both closed below 50 DMA, Nasdaq is still above 50 DMA which gives some hope, IF history is any guide, then Nasdaq may join in going below 50 DMA also. It is very important to look @ your exposure in this environment, stay with high conviction stocks.

US Market looking healthy......
US market is looking healthy again after gyrating wildly for 3 weeks.
All the averages are above 200 DMA & 50 DMA.....RUT is hair below 50 DMA.....
In terms of overbought and oversold, we are right in between...here is how RSI is stacking up:
Nasdaq 58.55
SOX 56.55
TAN 55.23
S&P 500 53.70
RUT 53.38
Dow 52.53
SO just about every index is above 50 DMA and RSI sporting a very healthy minimum 52.53....
There are lot of stocks which are very close to making new all time highs after testing support.
Again...a diversified approach in many sectors is the way to go with overweight in Technology.
Markets go through these gyrations after dealing with uncertainty, be it political or economic issues...
Now we seem to have a better handle on interest rate hikes.....more orderly than sharp uptick....
This is a fast moving TAPE in both direction....
Stay with your strong acting stocks no matter in which sector, that will pay handsomely.
Winter is winding down in Northeast earlier than expected, which may have repercussion for heating oil and gas.
Trade battle looming in steel sector.....
All in all a very positive scenario going forward.
Good luck with your strategy and comfort level.

Excellent recovery in indices.....
Last 6 trading session saw support and major recovery.
Here are some of the tabulation of 2 major index :
S&P 500 went down 11.84% in 10 trading days, has recovered from the lows 8.75% in 6 trading days, all the stats are taking absolute highs to absolute lows in both direction.
Nasdaq went down 11.66% in 10 trading days absolute highs to absolute lows to Friday's high. and have recovered from lows 10.14% in last 6 trading days...taking
Based on my recollection, this could be the fastest selling and fastest recovery in historical terms.
SO...what is the message of this market.......
It went down on " overbought conditions with huge profit to be booked "
It recovered fast because selling was overdone when we breached 200 DMA in 10 trading days...
Biotechs and industrial metals stocks are two of the strongest sector...
Russell and Sox are showing relative strength.....
Does market need a rest now and go sideways or will it pull back to half of its recent gains.....these are the possible scenario we may face.
I will hope that it goes sideways with 2% pullback from recent highs.
No matter what market does, it is important to stay involved in strong behaving stocks, NFLX and AMZN are behaving the-best
NVDA made a new intraday all time high of $250 on Friday..only stock to do that......
There are many stocks which are on the verge of many series of new all time highs, those are the ones to be involved with, this is a market of strong stocks which cannot be ignored.
SO...take a look @ your portfolio again and see where adjustment can be made, last 6 trading days was a tell tale of strength or weakness.
Good luck with your own take of this market and your own comfort level.

Volatility to continue.......
It has been a very volatile week in markets since previous Friday.
Last week was the-worst week in 2 years.
Reasons given for this volatility / slump are many, they are :
10 year yield @ 2.88%...a 4 year high
Wage inflation picking up.
High Frequency Machines / Traders have gone out of control....
VIX related derivatives are running out of control
BUT the-most potent reason was simple.....we have gone too far too fast....or... major complacency in the mind of traders...
In 2017 S&P 500 was UP 19.4%...
In 2018 in few weeks we added 7.5% in S&P 500, Nasdaq added another 8.7%, Dow 7.7%...
In 2018..AMZN was UP 20%, NFLX UP 43%....we are talking max 6 weeks of 2018.....
SO...it was inevitable that we would correct sooner which has became later since 2017
SO.. after a gain of 26.9% in S&P 500 we pulled back 11.84% from high to low......
What stunned everyone including me, not 11.84% pullback , but it is the speed of this pullback, 6 trading days did it all......
About volatility, i expect it to continue for several weeks, UP DOWN like a yoyo....this may entail retesting and going below Friday's lows.......
SO..do not be complacent again, try to book profit IF you can find any and try to be nimble until volatility dies......
We have a target of S&P 500 for all 2018 which is 3025
Support around 2540 level...which got penetrated easily as low as 2532.69 on Friday.....S&P 500 went below 200 DMA...along with Russell 2000.......
It is very important to adjust to the market we got, not the the market we want......
Good luck with your own take of this market and your own comfort level.

10 year yield @ 2.88%...a 4 year high
Wage inflation picking up.
High Frequency Machines / Traders have gone out of control....
VIX related derivatives are running out of control
BUT the-most potent reason was simple.....we have gone too far too fast....or... major complacency in the mind of traders...
In 2017 S&P 500 was UP 19.4%...
In 2018 in few weeks we added 7.5% in S&P 500, Nasdaq added another 8.7%, Dow 7.7%...
In 2018..AMZN was UP 20%, NFLX UP 43%....we are talking max 6 weeks of 2018.....
SO...it was inevitable that we would correct sooner which has became later since 2017
SO.. after a gain of 26.9% in S&P 500 we pulled back 11.84% from high to low......
What stunned everyone including me, not 11.84% pullback , but it is the speed of this pullback, 6 trading days did it all......
About volatility, i expect it to continue for several weeks, UP DOWN like a yoyo....this may entail retesting and going below Friday's lows.......
SO..do not be complacent again, try to book profit IF you can find any and try to be nimble until volatility dies......
We have a target of S&P 500 for all 2018 which is 3025
Support around 2540 level...which got penetrated easily as low as 2532.69 on Friday.....S&P 500 went below 200 DMA...along with Russell 2000.......
It is very important to adjust to the market we got, not the the market we want......
Good luck with your own take of this market and your own comfort level.

About market, TAPE was simply ugly and crashed into close with stunning losses in all indices, Dow & S&P 500 have entered correction territory of 10%. I know there is a very " thick pessimism " about stocks and this market, but it is an indicator that we may have reached an important support area. RSI of 28.12 is telling me, we are deeply deeply oversold already, it may be a time to build position in strong stocks with earning momentum. My take may sound even crazy, but i made a switch around 3 PM today, when we were down around 500 points in Dow. Markets will do what it wants to do, but it is not profitable to wait for a clear signal that all is well, you may be missing 10% of the move. There is only a closing BLOG on Friday's around 7 PM.
