Summary

We’ve threat of a marginal micro double top of 4807/06. Bulls should be at least a little twitchy, for what is a Thursday.  Yours truly is sitting back with a shopping cart… no reason to be getting involved today. Maybe we’ll see a washout tomorrow.

notable stock: MU

Micron Tech’ warning that the Chinese lockdowns are going to add delays. Indeed, the Chicoms are pushing hard again, with added ‘public shaming’… which the failed NAZI states of Germany/Austria are also doing to children in schools.

I still like MU for the mid/long term… but I don’t own.

notable weakness: TSLA

Whilst Citi did issue another dumb ‘sell’ on Tesla, this morning’s weakness is arguably due to recall news… and just s/t cooling.

notable steel: X

Catching a bid… but broadly, its a mess. I’d like to see the $25s

notable miner: FCX

Freeport bouncing… as yesterday’s reversal candle played out. I can’t… and will NOT chase this.
