very very good candles today Mich-definetely suggests continued movement upward , 3429 on the ES to be tested (1% higher), that's the high set approx two weeks ago; a break of this and loads of room to run if she wants. wasnt only the tech sector that carried the weight today. The financials had a big day; broke the 50 sma, gapped it!! BUT its 200 sma was rejected,check the chart, pretty cool (how about Citigroup after the the massive print!). The 200 sma on XLF has been rejected FOUR times since June - HUGE day tomorrow. We may see the SPY break $339 on the back of the financials finally breaking its 200 sma! In addition the VIX tried to break its 200 sma-- rejected!!!!......something has to give here....Oct, anything goes
saturday's news from Pence that a vaccine is anticipated by yr end is just great news. Add to that Trump seems to be doing well and double good news. Didnt Johnson worsen after about 5 days after his diagnosis? pretty sure that was the case. Hopefully Trump takes it easy for awhile.
ICLN (clean energy) up again today with a long green candle- check the chart #1284-- this thing is up 21% in about 6 days, its a fuckin etf. I dont get it, not sure what to make of this-what's going on?
Forgot to respond to the clean energy index question.
Been watching a stock that someone on this board turned me on to named Solar Edge Technologies (SEDG). Think it was Northern Star and if I'm not mistaken he's in the business. Maybe he can come in here and confirm this. It's a solar panel company. It has been going like crazy since the market bottomed in April (almost a four bagger).
So this is just my theory but the housing market in the suburbs of Boston is booming. Not the city, the suburbs. Because of covid thousands, likely tens to hundreds of thousands of young people have found themselves working from home. Many are starting to believe that this new work culture will become normal and will be the predominant way going forward. I am watching offices close in Boston as their leases run out (you may remember that I predicted this about a month into the pandemic and the lockdowns became more draconian). Anyway, many of these young people live in or close to Boston to be part of the action and or reduce the commute which is a total time suck and hassle in any big city in America today. Because of the shutdowns they have retreated from the city and found the outdoors (many different ways). So I think inn aggregate they are findng out that they no longer need the hassle of the city and they are buying housing in the suburbs.
The shutdowns and work from home result also mean that people have a ton more money in their pockets. No more cost of commuting and parking; no more cost of eating out in the city; no more dry cleaning bills; no more necessity of spending money on makeups and coifs. Maybe no more is an overstatement. But you get the idea.
They have extra money, are moving out of the city, and likely are buying green heating systems. Add in the people who already have homes and are now upgrading because of their additional new found money.
Well, that about covers my thought pattern. Football time.
