Thanks Dave for doing this.

On Friday the Transportation stocks were up. Is the ITY showing a piercing line pattern since it did close above the mid of the red candle. Does this look like a dead cat bounce or do you see instutions moving back into a beaten down sector?

Most of the airline stocks are in a CAHOLD and AAL LUV were the biggest gainers.

Phil...you're welcome...have a great weekend...DJ

Nirmala...IYT is in a 9-month sideways trend at support that has bounced from the 163 area seven times already. Buyers appeared at the level for the eighth time on Friday. One day does not a trend make, therefore one can not conclude that institutions have done more than buy on Friday. If they do continue to buy Monday, will they take it past 166, Tuesday's high? Next week will let us know the answer. In general, buyers typically buy at support in a sideways trend. That is what appears happened on Friday. DJ

Dear Dave,
Thank you for teaching me how to trade. I still have a copy of your rules from 2009( I am a great trader etc) the first workshop I attended 2/2009 in NYC.
Thank you for all the BGOs. I have them written down on my computer screen.
I've enjoyed your trading rooms, your patient explaining of concepts and insights and how to think.
Looking forward to your blog.
Yours truly, Sally Pezza
