On Wednesday, MU closed at 1065.11, then reported earnings after the close of EPS $33.42 beats $31.45 estimate, Sales $54.229B beat $50.751B estimate. Today, Thursday morning, after a lower open of $1054.08, MU fell to a low of 1022.90 within the first hour before a reversal that led to a close of 1097.39.  Why a huge MU beat and initially a lower price you ask?

We teach iBullyBear members that “the stock market is efficient for liquidity, not for value or price.  It is the imbalances in supply and demand that cause prices to fall or rise, not fair value or fair price.”

Did you take advantage of that inefficient price this morning?  We did and it paid off big.


SPX +14.91, 7,666 opened higher, sold off, reversed, rallied, formed a long lower shadow before closing higher. Breadth improved as advancers led the NYSE and decliners led by less than 100 issues on the NASDAQ exchange.  The NDX moved closer to a resistance breakout.  The SPX since August 4 is in a sideways consolidation pattern.

RUT 2,806 fell +9.76, a three-month closing low bounce, piercing line candle.
Oil /CL rose +2.57 and closed at 92.91.
