The market opened lower today, made a lower low at SPX 1680, bounced, then retested that low. After that the market rallied during the afternoon.
The biotechs (IBB) and gold (GLD) were the best performing ETF’s today. The rest of teh etf’s were up slightly, with the exception of housing (XHB) which got pounded a bit.
After the close GILD reported a solid number and gave good guidance, so that should help the biotech sector tomorrow along with IBB. GILD is a decent chunk of IBB.
Heads up, AEGR reports next Tuesday.
We stopped on the balance of RVLT (still +10%). I will revisit this one again soon most likely, but I honored the stop.
ACT also triggered long today.
See you in the morning.
