Summary

Its just another day with a pretty standard latter day recovery. For the bears… the cooling waves remain nothing significant/sustained. For the bulls… normal service continues. The s/t cyclical setup leans to green Thursday.


notable stock: KBH

KB Home has earnings in AH. The stock today broke a new multi-year high… headed toward the 2005 hist’ high of the $65s

notable weakness: FDX

Justly lower on lousy earnings and the CFO leaving.
The current candle is an inverse shooting star… and leans s/t bullish.

notable health: MRNA

Breaking a new low for the year.
The only realistic hope is… bird flu, or if the WHO start mandating shots (when they get authority over the global populace in summer 2024).

notable stock: TSLA

A rough day for Tesla, with Farley of Ford taking a pot shot at Musk…

Time to venture outside, back at the close…
