AAPL – Perfect time for negative news after it ran up. I stick with MSFT over AAPL due to AAPLs dependence on the consumer market for its’ I-phone. Once the disruptions to supply chains are over AAPL will do better.

The Fear & Greed Index is not that fearful yet as the last chart on it shows. Not that much damage done yet to the $SPX.

Hard to figure this time of year with year-end portfolio shuffling and some tax loss selling……we dropped below the 50 day m/a last night but no follow through to-day……

If the $SPX can recover and hold the September high of 4545 that would be bullish. But looking at the loss of momentum on all the oscillators and especially the major breadth indicators that include the advance/decline lines it looks like smart money has been exiting the broad market for some time now. The $SPX is over weighted with a handful of high flyers and don’t represent the broad market. What really caught my attention was the report that stated more money has chased stocks in 2021 than in the previous 10 years combined. Definitely not a good sign………….

Here is the XIU.to. Price is testing the September high support and needs to hold to suggest the uptrend is still intact.
