At one point all three indexes were clawing their way higher on Thursday. By the close those only the NASDAQ managed to cling to a small gain thanks primarily to the rally in health care stocks. Much of the reason for the drop back on Thursday was concern over the Fed’s release of bank stress test results that took place after hours. While few investors were worried, most didn’t want to be caught by any “surprise”. This led to some selling in the mid to…

The big news on Friday was Amazon’s intended purchase of Whole Foods which sent both stocks considerably higher.

We knew the chance of a bounce from the NASDAQ on Monday was not high. However overall I did not think the selling on Monday was anywhere nearly as dramatic as Friday. There was little sense of a panic, which was seen on Friday. Instead all three indexes spent the day in negative territory but losses were small on the S&P and the Dow. Even the NASDAQ saw just half a percent drop, which was much better than Friday’s plunge. Here is the outlook for…

Friday saw a major divergence between the Dow, S&P and the NASDAQ indexes. The S&P spent most of the day waffling between positive and negative readings.

The Dow also pushed higher reaching a new all-time high of 21,305.35 before falling back and closing at 21,271.97, which was still, a new closing high. The NASDAQ however succumbed to heavy selling. Goldman Sachs seemed to start the selling when an analyst indicated…

Friday saw the indexes move higher following somewhat disappointing numbers from the May non-farm payroll numbers.
