RUT, DJI Closed Higher, SPX, NDX Closed Lower...VIX Fell...Afterhours MU +18% on Better than expected EPS...

© 2026

SPX -7.24, 7,358, opened flat, traded in a range and closed slightly lower.  Breadth strengthened slightly as advancers led on the NYSE, and decliners led slightly on the NASDAQ exchange.  VIX fell. 

SpaceX, SPCX, closed at 154.54, -1.98%.  SPCX completed a $25 billion offering of senior unsecured notes on Tuesday. Our view is that SPCX with no earnings continues to be a total speculation.  As Ben Graham observed there is intelligent speculation, like there is intelligent investing.  If you choose to speculate, do so intelligently.

After hours: MU +166.04, +15.84%, reported adj. EPS $25.11 beats $20.63 Estimate, Sales $41.456B beat $35.590B Estimate

RUT, DJI Closed Higher, SPX, NDX Closed Lower...Breadth Weakened...ALAB, CRWV, NBIS, RKLB, TER Added to the NDX Today...

Our iBullyBear Mentoring account once again hit a new all-time Net Liq high on strength in MU, SOXL, SNDK, SMH and AMAT on Monday.  If you are not employing a systematic approach to decision-making in the face of uncertainty and you want to improve your skills contact us through the iBullyBear link above.

SPX -27.79, 7,472, opened flat, traded in a range and closed lower.  Breadth weakened as advancers fell from Thursday, and decliners led on both the NYSE and NASDAQ exchanges.  VIX rose. 

SpaceX, SPCX, closed at 154.60, -16.43%.  Market cap fell to approximately $2 trillion, which places it seventh in market cap behind AMZN and TSM.  At 2025 revenues of $18.7 billion, it is the only company, in that group, with less than $131 billion of annual revenues.  Our view is that SPCX with no earnings continues to be a total speculation.  Wall St. consensus list positive earnings in 2028.
