Summary

S/t momentum has turned negative. Regardless of whether a few points higher… or lower, with a new cycle high, its a net bullish day.


notable stock: AAPL

Apple trying for a fractional gain… after the Watch import ban was temporarily lifted.

notable stock: HI

A subscriber noted this one to me.
FPE 11s… reasonable. Y 1.8%, at least its paying something.

notable strength: TSLA

Mostly helped by news of the revamped Model Y.

notable miner: ALB

I see no news, as most of the Lithium miners are struggling.
