Astounding, Amazing!

For Trading JUNE 9th

NASDAQ at New High, S&P + For Year

U.S. DOLLAR CONTINUES TO WEAKEN

Today’s market was just another day dominated by a single stock, at least initially, and BA was its name. Early in the day, when the NASDAQ was due lower, BA had added almost $200 DP’s to the average and after a while the rest of them got pulled along. At the end of the day, the DJIA was +461.46 (1.7%), NASDAQ +110.67 (1.13%), S&P-500 +38.46 (1.2%), the Russell +29.74 (1.97%) and the DJ Transports +179.89 (1.82%). Market internals were strong with NYSE A/D 4:1 while NASDAQ lagged 2.6:1 while volume was higher. The DJIA was 25 up /5 down with BA adding $173 DP’s and the next highest gainer was MCD +38. There were no other major movers, but BA is up another $7.00 in late trading. All 11 S&P sectors were higher with energy, real estate, utilities, and industrials while the least up were materials and technology.

Our “open forum” on Discord, which allows me to interact with subscribers and others to allow direct questions and chart opinions on just about any stock, continues to grow with more participants every day. It is informative and allows me to share insights as the market is open and moving. The link is: https://discord.gg/ATvC7YZ and I will be there and active from before the open and all day. It’s a great place to share ideas and gain some insights, and we’ve grown to almost 1900 members. I also did this video titled “How to survive being an options trader and not blow up your account,” over the long weekend. I think it’s very informative as a guide to stock selection and option choices. The link is https://youtu.be/Y7H9RpWfLlo Enjoy!!

SECTORS: The big news was no news initially with BA piggy backing on all of the airline and hospitality stocks recent recovery and the planned reopening of the American economy. BA was trading up about $17 pre-open but by the time the bell actually rang it opened that 17 and immediately added to those gains and by the end of the day it had traded $234.20 and finished +25.07 (12.2%). But it wasn’t done there, in afterhours trading it touched 238.50 and is currently only .01 off that price. Last Monday it had traded $144 and has gone on a 6-day tear of $95 or 66%. And that doesn’t take into account that on its recent decline it went from a high of 446 to a low of 89, so at today’s close we are up 170% since late March.

But, the most amazing thing about today’s moves were the fact that at least one company, HTZ, has actually declared bankruptcy and after trading $ .40 just 10 days ago after the filing, it started at $.80 last Thursday and today managed to close $5.53 +2.96 (115%) and is currently trading $6.70 +1.17 in after hours. Yes, I did say it declared bankruptcy, and yes there are those who will speculate on just about anything, but $6.70 is a touch pricey when 99% of bankruptcies end with the equity owners being wiped out!

And, last, I would have thought that this one was the HOMERUN of the DAY this morning when I talked about it pre-open, ENOB, Enochian Biosciences, when the news of their cure for HIV was the topic of discussion. I had it $17.00 +12.88 or 312%, but the best it could do was to open $12.67, hit $13.43 and then start to slide. It finished $6.06 +1.94 (47%) and is a few cents lower in afterhours. With today’s action in hospitality and Oil related names it probably doesn’t make the top 50 stocks with that gain.

FOOD SUPPLY: was HIGHER with TSN +1.65, FLO +.45, CAG +.51, MDLZ +1.08, KHC +1.03, CALM +.37, JJSF +3.49, SAFM +6.57, LANC +2.42, GO -1.33, HRL +.11, SJM +3.73, PPC +1.99 and PBJ $32.14 +.51 (1.61%).

BIOPHARMA was HIGHER with BIIB -5.46, ABBV +.75, REGN +7.04, ISRG -.06, GILD +.32, MYL +1.22, TEVA +.06, VRTX -.68, BHC +1.26, INCY +1.07, ICPT +4.40, LABU +2.65 and IBB $133.20 +1.85 (1.41%).

CANNABIS: was HIGHER with TLRY +1.16, CGC +1.49, CRON +1.45, GWPH +2.98, ACB +2.01, PYX +1.40, NBEV +.33, CURLF +.13, KERN +2.04 and MJ $15.27 +1.23 (8.76%).

DEFENSE was HIGHER with LMT + 3.75, GD +5.53, TXT +1.43, NOC +4.90, BWXT +2.73, TDY +3.44, RTX +2.35 and ITA $193.84 +6.97 (3.73%).

RETAIL was HIGHER with M +2.17 +24.74%) on the news that it raised $4.5billion in financing, JWN +1.34, KSS +3.42, DDS +2.11, WMT -.49, TGT +.84, TJX +.49, RL +.69, UAA +.78, LULU -4.72, TPR +.72, CPRI +2.43 and XRT $45.35 +1.00 (2.25%).

FAANG and Big Cap: were HIGHER with GOOGL +8.48, AMZN +43.00 (1.73%) on news of a new high price target of $3,300, the highest on the street, AAPL +1.30, FB -.03, NFLX -3.60, NVDA -5.70, TSLA +58.84 (6.64%), BABA -.61, BIDU +2.62, CMG -5.71, CAT +2.60, BA +33.99 (16.55%), DIS +2.39, and XLK $101.92 +.51 (.50%).

FINANCIALS were HIGHER with GS +2.39, JPM +2.40, BAC +.52, MS +.63, C +3.13, PNC +2.97, AIG +3.14, TRV +3.14, AXP +3.67, V +.29, and XLF $26.74 +.50 (1.91%).

OIL, $38.19 -1.36. Oil has managed to trade $40.44 today and fell back to the 5-day MA and closed there. We are trading up about .50 tonight and the stocks didn’t even blink at the decline. In fact, people came after every little depressed stock and many have moved several 100% in the past few days. The stocks were higher and XLE was $47.39 +2.55 (5.69%).

METALS, GOLD: $1,705.10 +22.10. After trading down to $1671 last week we had a bounce higher today and although it was an “inside-day” we closed at the highs. The action in the US$ is projecting higher prices for the metals, but it does not necessarily trade with the dollar on a day by day basis. Support is around Friday’s lows. We bought back the 3rd and final lot of NEM yesterday @ $58.86.

BITCOIN: closed $9,780 -20. After breaking down from just over 10,000 and trading as low as 8630 last Tuesday we have been clawing our way back toward 10,000. Last week we traded over $10500 but fell all the way back to the lows, but we’ve moved back toward $10,000. We added 350 shares of GBTC last Wednesday @ $10.02 to our position of 400 @ $8.06, bringing our average price to $8.97. GBTC closed $11.58 + .33 today.

Tomorrow is another day.
