The DIA,
SPY and IWM were closed near unchanged.
Many Dow 30 stocks closed at new highs.
The big
news was a mini-crash in TWTR which occurred just as many people became
convinced it was free money and one should just jump in, kind of like Santa and
a chimney. Other social media stocks
also caught the down draft including FB, P, YELP, ZNGA, Z, GRPN and LNKD. There were some social media bright spots including
SINA +4.32%, ANGI +3.50% and NTES +2.99%.
Many
stocks again closed near record highs including…ATI, BX, FAS, GLW, JNPR,
NTES, SPY, DIA, TPX, V, VRSN, X, XONE, CMCSA, CTSH, GOOG, MNST, WYNN, AXP, CAT,
CVX, DD, KO, MMM, XOM, DIA and SPY.
The trend continues
higher for the overall market with basic materials, industrial,
energy, technology and financial sectors leading the way. Trade with the trend, move your protective
stops. Continue to follow
your rules.
The economic outlook continues to strengthen heading into 2014. While the stock market does not go straight
up and instead moves in a zig zag manner of higher highs and pull backs to
higher lows, currently the weight of the technical evidence suggests
trend continuation as 2013 comes to a close.
Take this
time to evaluate your 2013 trading performance and identify specific
improvements that you can make for 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.”
