Fewer Stocks Meeting Criteria
On Thursday, major indexes lost ground but closed decisively higher from intra-day lows. Volume was average. Technical indicators for major indexes are signaling caution. RSI is extended & MACD is weakening suggesting pullbacks may occur near-term. Current holdings and new purchases should apply tight stop loss limits (3 - 5%) to protect from wide swings that could develop when the market begins to pullback. Focus on stocks meeting CRITERIA.
This morning, futures are displaying a modestly HIGHER opening.
