Summary

Little to add.
Regardless of the close, with a new cycle high, its a net bullish day.


notable stock: AAPL

Yesterday saw an upside reversal, helped by the iWatch news.
Apple never printed >$200 this year, but it appears due within 1-2 weeks.

notable weakness: MARA

A s/t bubble has popped. I honestly don’t know… or care, but this one is capturing some attention. I see no l/t future for it.

notable strength: TSLA

Chatter about a recall. Early gains… fading.

notable miner: GOLD

Barrick just cooling back a little. I see all such cooling waves as buying opps, although there appears little hurry this side of the long weekend.

I should venture out… if briefly.
