There are only two stock setups today, and both are from the Healthcare sector, a leading defensive sector. Until the macro picture clears, my preference is for defensive groups, smaller positions and less exposure. Symbols: $PFE $HCA

Today’s report features stocks from groups that have been leading since the broadening began in late November. These include an aluminum leader, a defense trade, a big pharmaceutical and a DIY leader. Symbols: $AA $CAE $ABBV $LOW

Mag 7 stocks account for 33% of SPY and 41% of QQQ. The trouble starts when/if these leaders break down. Three broke down, but four of the seven are holding up. This report covers $GOOGL, $NVDA and $TSLA.

The evidence remains bullish for stocks, but there are some sizable pockets of weakness and individual stock volatility is up as the market reacts to AI threats and earnings. Today’s report features Alphabet $GOOGL, Telsa $TSLA and Edwards Lifesciences $EW

Stocks remain in bull mode with the broadening trade dominating. Hard assets are in, and soft things are out. Today’s report covers DR Horton $DHI, Heico $HEI and Atmos Energy $ATO

The weight of the evidence remains bullish for stocks, but areas of the market are under extreme pressure (software, cybersecurity, cloud, fintech, crypto). TransMedics $TMDX, HCA Healthcare $HCA and M/I Homes $MHO

Stocks remain in bull mode with leadership broadening.

Autodesk (ADSK) provides software and services for product development and manufacturing to the industrials sector. It has been a choppy ride since July, but the overall uptrend remains intact, and

I like to see three timeframes when looking for trading setups. Today’s charts show a daily candlestick chart in the top window with the 200-day SMA, %B (20,2) and the price-relative (symbol/RSP ratio). %B is used to find oversold conditions within an uptrend, while the price-relative measures relative performance.

Nucor (NUE) is steel stock that is part of the Materials SPDR (XLB) and Metals & Mining SPDR (XME). XLB is a lagging sector because of the chemical industry, but XME is a leading group with a 65% year-to-date gain. The DJ US Steel Index ($DJUSST) is also leading with a 24.6% gain this year.
