Small Cap Stocks Remain Sluggish as Stocks End Lower
Once again Small Caps stocks as measured by the Russell 2000 had a difficult time Friday lagging the broader stock market. After hitting an all-time high on Thursday SPY has stumbled a bit. QQQs have yet to reach its all-time high set back in April. This rally has...
Stocks Rise Again; Small Caps Lag
Another day of gains for the stock market as buyers rush back into stocks. Volume was higher on the NYSE as well as the NASDAQ. The Russell 2000 lagged behind for the session as traders continue to flock towards larger cap names. We would very much like to see traders...
US and China to Meet at G20; Stocks Rise
A big day on the street during Tuesday’s session. Trump notified the world the US and China would meet at the upcoming G20 summit. Volume swelled as stocks rose. It was a great sign to see volume supporting solid price gains. All eyes will be focused on the Fed...
Mixed Volume on Friday as Stocks Close Lower
NYSE volume was higher on Friday as the Dow and S&P 500 ended the session with small losses. The NASDAQ and Russell 2000 each ended the day with heavier losses, but volume fell on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange avoiding a day of distribution. Utilities continue to shine as...

Stocks Follow-Through Friday as the NASDAQ Storms Higher
On Day 4 of the most recent attempt at a rally the NASDAQ confirms a new uptrend. Solid news for the market as the NASDAQ Composite gains 1.66% during Friday’s session. Volume just barely increased on the NASDAQ, but the combination of price and volume gave the day a...
Industrials Lead the Way; Small Caps Lag Again
Thursday’s session saw Industrials lead the way while volume dropped on both exchanges. We have seen volume drop in consecutive days indicating this may just be a dead cat bounce. This does not mean after the jobs report prior to Friday’s session we cannot see a...
Fed Hope Continues to Boost Stocks
Wednesday’s action saw stocks move higher as hopes of a Fed intervention by cutting rates spread across the stock market. Thursday’s session will be day 3 of an attempted rally. It would be nice to see the stocks consolidate a bit prior to heading into confirmation...

A solid day for the equity markets as stocks rebounded after Monday’s hefty losses. Volume was lower across the board as the NASDAQ 100 led the way followed closely by the Russell 2000. Day 1 of an attempted rally for this stock market. Would have loved to see volume...
