Look at these Charts
(click image to enlarge)
BMO – ES -6.00 and NQ -6.50 futures are flat in pre-market trading pointing to a flat to slightly lower open. AAPL -1.12, AMZN -0.97, GOOG -29.05 and BIDU -5.81 are lower in pre-market trading. INTC is down 13 cents, JPM down 22 cents.
Markets are lower this morning being led by GOOG, ISRG and AMD which are lower after positive earnings. Many stocks are poised to break the low of their high day either Wednesday or Thursday. Look for most stocks to lower.
Apparently GOOG earnings failed to impress.
The SPX formed a spinning top on Thursday and potentially could develop into an evening star pattern if a down day occurs today…look if a penetration of 1,204, the S1 level of Wednesday’s large white candle. Yellow Alert for short term traders.
BAC down 5 cents and GE down 5 cents.
Pre-Market
BAC diluted 28 cents vs. 9 cents estimates
GE 21 cents vs. 16 cents estimates

2 lucky things for me today. One is that I'm still playing with paper money to learn. Better still, second is "Believe Dave". I read this morning's post, then watched things drop without selling. Moved up stops, but still not selling. Ding ding ding all stops being hit, but lost all week or two earnings in lots of cases. Did I say,... "Believe Dave". THANK YOU, Dave. I believe I learned some big lessons today. jnj
