I mean, honestly, you would assume there was NOTHING going on in the world, and the last time I checked, there’s more going on in the world right now than in, oh, DECADES. 

A key chart for me continues to be the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:IWM), which is positioned near the peak of its range. It seriously needs to start weakening, or else we could find ourselves make in the same damned quagmire of a market we’ve enjoyed for going on fourteen years.

As before, a key is going to be the mega-mega-mega-cap stocks, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) in particular, which have held this beast up. AAPL is definitely at a point indicating the counter-trend bounce is exhausted, but honest to God, this market is acting so bizarre right now, it’s hard to move confidently.

  •           Stay focused and on track. Only post material that’s relevant to the topic being discussed. 

  •           Be respectful. Even negative opinions can be framed positively and diplomatically. Avoid profanity, slander or personal attacks directed at an author or another user. Racism, sexism and other forms of discrimination will not be tolerated.

  • Use standard writing style. Include punctuation and upper and lower cases. Comments that are written in all caps and contain excessive use of symbols will be removed.

  • Doxxing. We do not allow any sharing of private or personal contact or other information about any individual or organization. This will result in immediate suspension of the commentor and his or her account.
  • Don’t monopolize the conversation. We appreciate passion and conviction, but we also strongly believe in giving everyone a chance to air their point of view.
