Quick Glance at the Market Heat Map and Industries

Notables:

  • Financials and Basic Materials stuck out as the two strongest sectors. 
  • Healthcare and consumer goods had splotches of weakness. 

SharePlanner Compass:

 

Doesn’t feel like it but we now have a series of higher-highs and higher lows – if we don’t fake out on Monday, I might just have to adjust the compass directly over the uptrend. 

 

The Chart of the Day…

 Abraxas Petroleum AXAS

– Okay… so you’ve seen this stock AXAS (which I don’t think I’ve ever traded before) with a strong setup and you ride it up the whole day. You’re sitting at $3.45/share and you got in at $2.93. And then… all of a sudden… on no new…WHAM! BAT BAM! Down to $2.49 – are you kidding me? Who cares where it managed to scrape by and close at, this thing took out 25% of its market cap in seconds. Moral? Never, ever, ever trust the market or a stock or anything financially related. 

 

 

And of course…the RIDICULOUS!

 

Ladder, Spider, Dad acting like a hero to his little girl, and of course a hand-held camera. These things NEVER end good.I love the ‘horror-feel’ to the end of this video.  

You all have a great weekend!
