The S&P 500 had a volatile session on Monday, as we initially took off to the upside but ran into trouble due to the disappointing US Core Durable Goods announcement coming out. This of course sold off the market but as I look at this chart, it’s obvious that the buyers have come back into play, and it now looks as they are trying to let this market yet again.

I think that the market should then go to the 5900 level above, and then eventually 6000. I have no interest in selling this market, it has lead the other US indices higher over the longer term. I believe that the NASDAQ 100 should continue to benefit from a red-hot biotech sector, and have no interest in shorting… Read More
