  Wow, if Friday didn’t get your heart racing then you shouldn’t be a trader, that was a lot of fun.  We may have seen an intermediate term bottom put in yesterday as the big boys bought materials in size going into the close.  Let’s start with Monday though when it seemed we may have escaped [...]

  The momentum book under performed a little bit this week as I am heavily loaded in tech and not exposed enough to the materials sector.  Large cap tech is taking a rest here after its amazing run.  Are we topping out or consolidating for the next push?  I feel its the latter and not the [...]
