Stocks back on Tuesday from Monday’s new high in the SPY and QQQ.  Weakness in MSFT, GILD, SBUX and MDLZ weighed on the NDX while moves to the upside in FB, BIDU, GOOG, AMZN and YHOO balanced the NDX to only a slightly lower close.

Buyers were strong in gold as GLD +2.10, +1.75% gapped higher and broke through the horizontal resistance of a basing pattern.

TWTR 51.99, +2.85, +5.80% broke through horizontal resistance and made a new high close on 25.8 million shares its third highest volume day. 

AVGO, MFRM, SPLK, MRVL and JKS are currently forming an earnings flag while GMCR has bounced in its earnings flag and is now a horizontal resistance breakout setup.

After three weeks of selling, buyers took control in solar stocks led by YGE, TSL CSIQ, JKS, SPWR and SCTY


Finish 2013 strong by following your rules and begin to look for positive changes to make in 2014.

Albert Einstein: “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.”

Remember it is big money that creates and sustains the trend.  As Granville wrote, “technical analysis is the art of tracking the market, following the footsteps of the ‘smart money’ crowd.  The ‘smart money crowd’ is no mysterious ‘THEY.’  It is simply a collection of people who are reading the market correctly, seeing through the maze, unconfused by this hall of mirrors.”
