My Market Direction Concerns – Afternoon Strategy Notes for April 9 2014

Apr 9, 2014 | Stock Market Outlook

My afternoon strategy notes for members are a bit different today as I want to explain where my concerns are at present with the market direction. While the bull market in my opinion is still intact there are signs that I have seen before which are signals that can be 6 months or longer in advance of issues developing and I want to mention these today. The first item to mention is the growing change in leadership from the NASDAQ to the S&P.

Leadership Role

The S&P has become the stronger index over the past month which is actually rare for the S&P. Normally it is the NASDAQ that leads. Often though the S&P takes on the leadership role near the end of a cycle or a period of change. This change in leadership could be telling investors that a shift is underway.
