Summary

Suffice to add…. a pretty tedious Tuesday… but the action remains dynamic in energy…


notable stock: EQT

Nat’ gas stocks under pressure, with an effective 10% drop in NG from $10.03 to $9.05. Full reversal… bearish engulfing candle. S/t bearish.

notable weakness: PFE

As someone who sees this as the ‘big short’ into the Fall, I’m marginally annoyed I’m not already onboard the ‘train to the TRELIX trials’.

notable retail/Dow component: HD

A filth day lower. I’m not aware of any news. M/t bearish to the March 2020 $133s.

notable energy: OXY

Buyers on every little cooling wave… and Berkshire is clearly one of them.

Time to venture out, back at the close…
