Volume Eases as Small Caps Lead Market Lower
Following up yesterday’s stalling action, the market fell in light turnover. Earnings continue to pour in with YELP having a big move to the upside. MYGN on the other hand was decimated after disappointing the street. Selling seemed to be well-contained and did not...
NASDAQ Loses Steam but Closes Positive
Today’s session was a bit different than we have seen in the past. Volume was higher on the session as new highs were once again set. The issue was the stalling action on the NASDAQ and S&P 500. This market has come a long way from February lows as well as Brexit...

Stocks limp into August with NASDAQ inching out Gains
August starts off mixed in a light volume affair. NASDAQ 100 was the leading index of the day helping push the NASDAQ composite up 43bps. Trading definitely felt a bit lackluster with the NASDAQ pushing higher. Crude oil continues its fall and broke $40 a barrel. We...

AMZN and GOOGL jump in After-Hours Trade; Stocks mostly Higher
We inched higher again today on the Nasdaq and SP-500 with the Dow lower on the session. Volume sunk more than 7% across the board mostly due to the drop in volume from AAPL. At some point we will see a pullback, but for now we are continuing to push higher. All we...
