Sector Detector: Patient Bulls Finally Get A New Entry Point, Thanks To Inflation Fears
Monday, August 4, 2014 4:10 AM EDT
Now that’s what I’m talking about. I have been discussing the overbought technical conditions of the S&P 500 for some time and the need for a pullback to test bullish support levels.

Bold Bulls Dare Meek Bears To Take Another Crack
Monday, July 28, 2014 12:17 PM EDT
Once again, stocks have shown some inkling of weakness. But every other time for almost three years running, the bears have failed to pile on and get a real correction in gear. Will this time be different?

Sector Detector: Will Earnings Season Provide The Next Catalyst For Stocks?
Monday, July 14, 2014 8:41 AM EDT
More unnerving conflicts around the globe have flared up, but as usual, U.S. equity investors have given it nary a yawn as they seem to have become pretty much numb to the steady stream of unwelcome news, particularly out of the Middle East.

Sector Detector: Mid-Year Mark Finds Eager Bulls Seeking Renewed Traction
Monday, June 30, 2014 7:00 AM EDT
Stocks continue to hold up like troopers even though bulls have lost some traction, perhaps due to a combination of the summer doldrums and overbought technical conditions that have them biding time until the next setup for a run at new highs.

Sector Detector: Stocks Cruise Right Along, Whistling Past The Graveyard
Monday, June 23, 2014 7:43 AM EDT
U.S. stocks just continue to cruise right along, although investors seem to be displaying a healthy level of caution, looking over their shoulders as they whistle past the graveyard and bet on ongoing improvement in corporate earnings and economic growth.

Sector Detector: Bulls Revel In The New Normal, While Bears Lie In Wait
Monday, June 9, 2014 7:18 AM EDT
fter its long-awaiting breakout of the 1900 level the other week, the S&P 500 gained another +1.3% last week alone, but this double-low progression as I call it -- i.e., on extremely low volume and with persistently low volatility -- is worrisome.

Sector Detector: Stocks Confirm Tepid Breakout, But On Ultra-Low Volume And Volatility
Monday, June 2, 2014 7:27 AM EDT
Well, it’s official. The old adage about selling in May didn’t apply this year. Instead, larger-cap, higher-quality, and value-oriented stocks continued to lead the market higher.

Sector Detector: False Breakout Just Another Tease, But Fundamental Rankings Are Bullish
Monday, May 19, 2014 9:24 AM EDT
Rather than a Great Rotation from bonds into equities, the rotation instead has been from growth into value. Among the ten U.S. business sectors, uber-defensive sector Utilities is still the clear leader year-to-date, up more than +10%, followed by Energy and Healthcare.

Sector Detector: Bulls Are All Dressed Up, But Might Have No Place To Go
Monday, May 5, 2014 7:52 AM EDT
Stock market bulls made a valiant effort to fight off another looming correction last week. The economy is showing strong signs of recovery, the Fed remains confident enough to continue its stimulus tapering, and attractive alternative investments to the U.S. stock market seem scarce.

Sector Detector: Bullish Fundamental Rankings At Odds With Bearish Technicals
Monday, April 28, 2014 9:03 AM EDT
As the Federal Reserve eventually allows interest rates to rise, we likely will see a rotation out of value and into growth as defensive debt-intensive companies struggle relative to companies that have lower debt burden and stronger prospective earnings growth.

Sector Detector: Rejuvenated Market Seeks Follow-Through, But Earnings Loom Large
Tuesday, April 22, 2014 10:12 AM EDT
Weakness the prior week was due in part to traders exiting positions for vacation during the holiday-shortened week, protecting big capital gains, cashing out to pay taxes on capital gains, and “delta hedging” on put options.
