Market Update: Earnings Remain In Focus
Once again, the tape is becoming a little split as the Nasdaq/Nasdaq 100 type stocks are pulling back while big money plows into big cap Dow-type stocks. Earnings remain front and center and so far the jury is still out. The reaction has been mixed at best. Apple reports after the close and then scores of other stocks over the next few days/weeks. So far, the market remains very strong and until we see any meaningful selling show up, the bulls remain in control.
FLS Portfolio:
The FLS portfolio continues performing well. The service sold AMZN for breakeven yesterday and will likely buy SHOP based on how it is trading after reporting earnings. Remember, our entry/exit orders are stop orders so that means if the stock gaps up (or down) the stop order automatically because a market order and we are filled at the first available price. So if SHOP opens above our buy order, we will buy it at the market. Here is a snapshot of the portfolio based on Monday’s close:
Portfolio Update:
The service owns: ADBE +31.87%, BABA +58.27%, COH +2.32%, CAT +6.32%
The service will exit: ADBE @ 131.17, BABA @ 137.52, COH @46.07, CAT @107.18
