SPX +50.49, 7,798.99 an all-time new closing highClosed above 7,700 for an eighth day.  The SPX breakout last week joins DJI and RUT breakouts above June highs. 

RUT 3,052, anther new all-time closing high.

Breadth remained positive as advancers led on both the NYSE and the NASDAQ exchanges.

SPCX closed at 141.29, -3.33 on above average volume of 120.8 million shares. Our view is that SPCX, with no earnings, remains an overvalued speculation.  IPO at 135 on June 12.  Absorbing insider/private selling does not mean the stock is not speculative, but it does mean there are more buyers than sellers and intelligent speculative buyers are speculating to make money.

SPX +20.30, 7,748, a bull flag bounce continuation after the CPI report was in line with the consensus forecast: Y/Y consensus Headline 3.4%, Core 2.5%.  Closed above 7,700 for a seventh day.  The SPX breakout last week joins DJI and RUT breakouts above June highs. 

RUT 3,045, a new all-time closing high.

SPCX closed at 146.15, +9.65% another great day on above average volume of 167.2 million shares. Newly traded private shares continue to be absorbed by buyers, which is positive.  Our view is that SPCX, with no earnings, remains an overvalued speculation.  IPO at 135 on June 12.  Having a great day does not mean the stock is not speculative, but it does mean there are more buyers than sellers and intelligent speculators are making money.
