Indices to resume rally ?

TAPE has been in selling pressure, thanks to Greece and interest rate direction.

Market hates uncertainty....

Dow and S&P 500 are below 50 DMA

CMF is negative in Dow & S&P 500

BUT...Nasdaq is 63 points above 50 DMA

Nasdaq has positive CMF

It seems that Nasdaq is breaking away from doom & gloom .....

SOX is behaving strong

Jobs picture has improved in USA, but is no where near a breakaway level, thus interest rates may not go too far IF @ all.....

a .25% hike in interest rate is not going to change market direction in long term...

Short term, we are in a seasonally weak period, which is affecting industrial stocks

An overweight in technology stocks may overcome short term indecision...

This has been a stock pickers market..

Let the winner run, as they may go to multi-year new highs...

Security stocks are another area of strength, which must be in every portfolio.....

Low oil and gasoline should spur buying in retail sector...

Financials do well in rising interest rate environment

SO..it is a good time to review portfolio and critically examine its composition, make changes IF necessary.......

Good luck in coming week !

About market, TAPE took a tumble and closed near low of the day, Dow & S&P 500 closed below 50 DMA. Internals of the market were horrible. Everybody is in panic mode due to Jobs report. Jobs report in my opinion will be a non event and we will rally hard. Any panic day is a good day to buy strong stocks which is being sold off. Today's selling, flushed out lot of weak hands which is good for a fast rally.

About market, TAPE closed green on optimism about Greece & Jobs report. Internals of the market improved substantially, we need a strong follow through on Thursday to confirm this move. Some stocks are in breakout mode and to be bought for further gains. This is not a take the money and run market, let the winners run and prune losers.
