Stocks finished mixed again with some strength coming into the S&P 500 SPDR (SPY) and some weakness in the Russell 2000 ETF (IWM). The moves, however, were fractional and insignificant. Six of the nine sectors were up with the three defensive sectors moving lower (healthcare, utilities and consumer staples). The Finance SPDR (XLF) showed strength again and renewed leadership from financials is positive. The chart below shows the S&P 500 AD Line hitting a new high. Short-term, we can watch support from the late February lows for a trend reversal.

Charts of Interest: Tuesday and Thursday

This commentary and charts-of-interest are designed to stimulate thinking. This analysis is
not a recommendation to buy, sell, hold or sell short any security (stock ETF or otherwise).
We all need to think for ourselves when it comes to trading our own accounts. First, it is
the only way to really learn. Second, we are the only ones responsible for our decisions.
Think of these charts as food for further analysis. Before making a trade, it is important
to have a plan. Plan the trade and trade the plan. Among other things, this includes setting
a trigger level, a target area and a stop-loss level. It is also important to plan for three
possible price movements: advance, decline or sideways. Have a plan for all three scenarios
BEFORE making the trade. Consider possible holding times. And finally, look at overall market
conditions and sector/industry performance.
