We finally had a bounce...

Now, in order to continue higher, $SPY needs to stay above 432.

We've adjusted a position in the Paid-to-Play portfolio today:

The largest insider buy on today's list comes by the CEO and one director of Agree Realty Corporation $ADC.

The two insiders filed separate Form 4s reporting ADC purchases with a combined value of $1.6 million.

What I'll be looking for today is if $SPY can hold on to the 425.50 area.

We need to defend this area.

Otherwise, we can head quickly down to 420 and then the 200-day moving average at 418.60.

Welcome to The 2 to 100 Club.

As many of you know, something we've been working on internally is using various bottom-up tools and scans to complement our top-down approach.

It's really been working for us!

One way we're doing this is by identifying the strongest growth stocks as they climb the market-cap ladder from small- to mid- to large- and, ultimately, to mega-cap status (over $200B).

Once they graduate from small-cap to mid-cap status (over $2B), they come on our radar. Likewise, when they surpass the roughly $30B mark, they roll off our list.

But the scan doesn't just end there.

We only want to look at the strongest growth industries in the market, as that is typically where these potential 50-baggers come from.

Today $SPY closed the gap I spoke about at 422.92, and we bounced.

We'll see if we continue higher tomorrow...

The largest insider buy on today’s list comes in a Form 4 filing by Eli Samaha, founder and managing partner of Madison Avenue Partners LP.

Samaha reported a purchase of $558,528 in Synovus Financial Corp $SNV.

As of now, $SPY is holding the 425 area.

We could see a bounce, but I think it would be short-lived.

Again, not a ton of names stand out to me.

It was straight selling all day, no bounces.

$SPY has some support here at 425, then 422.92.

There's potential for a gap down tomorrow.
