  1. VIX Volatility Index closed unchanged today. Rare event. Made same high as yesterday and closed unch. So far, little fear. VXX SPY SPX
  2. Biotech is sagging. Wait to buy. BTK
  3. HGX with new closing low since 2-3. ITB
  4. Gold miners look good. GDX see prior on GLD
  5. Clean oil breakout to match, a big part of the CRB index and a lead weight for the economy.
  6. Commodities breaking out again. CRB Index near month futures with considerable strength today.
  7. @brasil61 So does the "dollar vote" today (dollar down) say "the Euro has been saved" at least for this week?
  8. Dollar moving lower and stocks firming. see prior UUP USDX SPX SPY
  9. US Midcaps and small caps now negative for day leading SPX down. MID RUO RUJ IWO IWN IWM MDY SPY
  10. Problem for SPX Bears + helping metals is weak dollar. Correction won't kick in until dollar resumes climb. UUP USDX EUR/USD SPY GLD
  11. REITs still weak vs. SPX. VNQ and SPY have "crossed" on chart over past couple days. Subtle yes, but maybe a hint.
  12. Gold bump up today positive given hold of post-Fed gains on 1-25. GLD IAU DGP SLV the same. Held gains.
  13. European stocks falling post Greece. US will likely fade today too. SPX SPY My free newsletter out last night: sunandstorminvesting.com/subscribe-to-s…
  14. Gold ETF slid a bit within consolidation but has not broken its base of support yet. Needs to move > 2-3 high. GLD
  15. SP500 index futures now BELOW prior intraday high of 1354.32. SPX SPY
  16. 10 year note strong today. Negative for stocks even though futures tonight @ 1356ish say "rally on." TNX
  17. REITs - out of rest of my position. Preserving profits. VNQ
  18. @Whitehouse Why unfairly base tax rates on a set number that's not adjusted for cost of living for an area? NYC 250 K is not = Podunk 250 K
  19. cont AAPL is trading below the SP500 Index based on valuation measures. Why? Google, Samsung (those it's suing) will eat its lunch?
  20. AAPL Check out the monthly chart. Apple is now farther away from its long term moving average than it has been back to 2009.
