US stock market is in the process of adjusting new way of conducting economic activity.
Dealing with COVID-19 has been more challenging .
New standard of operation is a new reality, balancing sales with social distancing requirements has many implications.
Law suits is most feared IF there is a breakout in any institution, associated cost of investigation and changes may challenge bottom line
No matter what the environment, from Q 3 it will be all about bottom line and top line.....
Many industries are already into Q 4 operation like cruise lines....for them Q 1 2021 will be the Q of reckoning......
While it is not all smooth sailing for any industry yet, SOX may recover the fastest.
SOX is near all time high area.....
Nasdaq also near all time high and has made a perfect golden cross...
GLD also near all time high.....
IF Nasdaq and SOX takes off then GLD has to bow down....
GLD may be most @ risk of going south.
S&P 500 also above 50 & 200 DMA
Russell 2000 & DOW below 200 DMA.....
XLE below 200 DMA and also very near 50 DMA support line....
Internals of this market is half decent, considering everything.....
CHINA & USA had a good trade meeting in Hawaii where Chinese agreed again to buy more agricultural products from USA......a possible thaw in trade relations....
COVID-19 is contained to much lower level in Canada while India is number 4th of most infected.....
This week may give us a much clearer picture IF market has factored everything about COVID-19... I have a feeling it may have discounted all the delays by cruise lines, airlines and casinos.....
Lots of opportunities in bargain bin IF you look around......
Old @ home play may cool off......
Good luck with your own analysis and take of strong and weak sectors.

Hi Saleem,
Last week: +6.49% (YTD: +37.54%)
Notable Winners (all > +10%): GAN BHVN DDOG PINS NXPI
Notable Losers: LITE
It was a great rebound week as the portfolio roared past all time highs. A balance of growth and value is proving valuable as different sectors move on different days. We are quickly approaching Q2 earnings season which will separate some winners and losers based on how management has responded to the crisis. Obviously, forward outlook is even more key. Also to watch: there are many winners far into all-time high territory and it's unlikely those will be sold before year-end as delaying the tax bill for another year will be important. Rotating into these strong stocks on any weakness should be a winning strategy. Ultimately, being fully invested as the Fed stays easy and the economy ramps from trough levels, especially as investors remain skeptical, should provide stellar returns.

Hi guys,
I agree the market is getting harder to "read". This week's feature will probably be the Russell reconstitution with some high fliers being added or increasing weighting.
Paramjeet, good luck with the moves to re-position!
