    In order of relative strength (28 day period), telecom and tech are still leading the pack... financials (FNCL) have made a nice run up from the bottom tho!

    We're at a funny time where the market is breaking out, and the stocks with the best by-the-numbers P/E ratios are biotechs.

    Healthcare stocks have seriously underperformed lately due to the Medicare for All fears :p

    Interesting to see the VIX climing with the S&P - Might be something to watch.

    Yeah, that's one sector I'd be scared to get in closer to 2020 election, especially if a progressive democrat ends up being the Democratic nominee (i.e. Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren). Until then though, I don't know why they'd underperform.

    I'll have to step out of this conversation here since we're apparently on opposite ends of the spectrum ;)

    Picked up shares of Wells Fargo today. Looking forward to the dividend payout in June 2019.
    Anyone else has WFC on their watchlist?

    Last Trading Day of April Soft: DJIA Down 15 of Last 21
    [​IMG]
    Over the past 21 years the last trading day in February has been rough on the bulls. DJIA, S&P 500, NASDAQ, Russell 1000 and Russell 2000 have all declined more frequently than advanced with all five indices down the last four in a row. Average and median performance on the day has been negative across the board. Excluding NASDAQ, the worst loss exceeds the best gain. Large caps have been hit the hardest with DJIA leading the losers down 15 of the last 21 years. Last minute profit taking before the end of the month is one possible explanation for this weakness.

    Any news in Venezuela? The other day I was hearing that Russia was providing troops to Maduro, and China was helping to prop up their government, in the sense that they were buying oil from Venezuela. And the opposition to Maduro is being publicly supported by the US. We got ourselves a good ol' proxy war?

    Market remains pretty resilient :eek: Seems like the Chicago PMI wasn’t good this morning but pending home sales was good, so mixed economic data :p Let’s see how AAPL does after the bell, I guess the iPhone weakness in China probably will remain for AAPL since a lot of Chinese could opt for the cheaper Chinese brand like Huawei instead, but maybe the growth in services could offset the iPhone weakness :p

    There are some seriously quality Chinese phones hitting the market, but Apple as a brand is still top dog.

    The new One Plus 7 phone is absolutely amazing.
