COMMENTARY

Volume was up across the board as the NASDAQ 100 led the way for major market indexes. It was nice to see volume jump along with price. However, the downside was the lack of leadership from the Russell 2000 as Small Caps have been a bit shunned for a few weeks. NYSE...

A big start to the week for the stocks as the NASDAQ and Russell 2000 lead the market higher. Volume was mixed as NYSE ended the day higher while NASDAQ volume was lower. After last week’s decline it was nice to see the rebound. We still would like this market to...

We are finally seeing some pullback in the markets. Volume is a bit elevated and the Russell 2000 losses are a bit much. However, we have come a long way from the December lows and a little volatility should be expected. Overall, the market was a bit overbought and a...

Just short of a nasty day in the market only a late day kick save helped alleviate some of the selling witnessed during Monday’s session. Volume was higher across the board and coupled with price declines the market notched a distribution day across all major market...

Volume was up across the exchanges during Wednesday’s trading session. Major Indexes ended the day flat, but the Russell 2000 was able jump .22%. The increase in volume on a flat day isn’t a huge deal, but we do not want to see the market spin its wheels with volume...

A light volume day on the exchanges on Tuesday as traders came back from a long holiday weekend in the United States. Small Cap stocks led market gains, but gains were small and given how low volume ended the session it was quite a boring. We will take boring, but at...

For the fourth straight day the S&P 500 ended the day with gains. While it was nice to see gains, the last 30 minutes was not exactly what you want to see to close out the session. Volume on the stock exchanges were mixed as NYSE volume fell, but the NASDAQ saw volume...

Overall, a very dull session as the market sees the lightest trading day since August. Not a real surprise as we do see light volume on Mondays. Will it be significant is anyone’s best guess. We definitely would like to see the market consolidate in a tight manner for...
