A tag of yellow gap is realistic tomorrow. The more cautious looking to buy/add, will wait until AFTER the long weekend.

*minor note… I noticed Nordstrom (JWN) has officially been delisted as of today, after being taken private.


notable retail: AMZN

Leading the main market lower. Momo due to turn negative in 2-3 days.

notable stock: AMD

New chips… unveiled at computex…

… with AMD treating the independent reviewers better than NVDA.

*guest appearance at t+4mins, by an Nvidia bat.

notable strength: GOOGL

Pushing against the 200dma.
Background hysteria about ‘smartglasses’
Rosenblatt, neutral, $189

notable energy: PSX
