Note: it seems like a waste of time to just point out that yesterday’s pin action leaves me confused. The S&P staged a major gap up open pushing up through the downtrend off its all-time high while still not making a new higher high. The momentum clearly says up; that gap up open says not so fast. One can read the day’s economic data positively, negatively or both, depending on one’s forecast. And in the back of my mind, I keep hearing ‘sell the first rate cut’---the timing for which appears to be drawing ever closer. While I have several candidates for purchase (MKTX, POOL, HSY, add to NKE and UPS), I can’t pull the trigger.
