Up: QQQ, SPY, IWM, DIA,
Down:


Mega caps MU, TSM, NVDA, AVGO, TSLA, AMZN, MSFT, META, LLY, AAPL, GOOGL rose, and WMT, BRK/B fell on Thursday.


SPCX closed at 154.81, +3.93, on volume of 83.9 million shares. Our view is that SPCX, with no earnings, remains an overvalued speculation.  IPO at 135 on June 12.  In the end if buyers are greater than sellers the stock will rise.  People seem to be willing to speculate on this company’s fundamental future. 

The SPY MFC green line is down at 41.7 price-action on Thursday closed above the HOLD and re-broke out of June resistance and is short-term bullish. -2.7

Nine of eleven sectors were higher on Thursday.  XLK +2.25% led all sectors.
