We have some important economic data coming out this morning.
The market did an about-face turn yesterday and drifted lower.
We’ll see if they want to keep everyone happy on a Friday and push the market higher.

FOMC meeting?
No worry, beef curry!
The markets barely flinched after the Fed raised interest rates – again.
Honestly, I didn’t tune in to the press conference. I prefer to focus on the tape.
So you won’t get a rundown of Jerome Powell’s forward guidance, or lack thereof, from me.
I can only relay the information provided by the market.
Obviously, the rising-rate environment remains intact amid sustained inflationary pressures – “higher for longer.”
We can all agree on that.
The true value from Wednesday’s events resides beneath the headlines…

That was a big bounce this morning for the indices…
And then we faded, and gaps are getting filled to the downside.
We all know the market is in need of a breather, but it will do what it wants to do. I did miss some of my own trades today, but traders in the Live Trading Room captured them.
This is the $TGT trade I flubbed. I bought it, I wasn’t patient, it ran to my price target, then I bought it back. I told the Live Trading Room it has room to 138!
Today I closed out the $HES shares that I’ve owned since January. I’ve bought it and sold it many times throughout the past six months. I can’t list all the buys and sells.

Welcome to The Junior International Hall of Famers.
With the goal of finding more bullish setups, we have decided to expand one of our favorite scans and broaden our regular coverage of the largest US-listed international stocks, or ADRs.
This scan is composed of the next 100 largest stocks by market cap, those that come after the top 100 and are thus covered by the International Hall of Famers universe.
Many of these names will someday graduate and join our original International Hall Of Famers list. The idea here is to catch these big trends as early on as possible.
Let’s dive right in and check out what these future big boys are up to.

We’re going where the “juice” is.
Chatting with Strazza while looking through charts on the plane home from Tokyo today, he said this:
I would do something in the commodity stock world. Think they are about to catch some of that bull market rotation. They all got the juice too.
I couldn’t agree more.
Here’s the Play:

The market is happy today, gapping up after the Fed.
Gap-ups are hard, as you don’t know if they’ll continue or pull in.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average and Dow Jones Transportation Average are both hitting new 52-week highs.
These are things we see regularly in uptrends. Not so much in downtrends: [Read more…]
