    QQQ is carrying this market. Banks are very red today.

    So the Dow Jones is down. And the equal-weighted S&P (etf RSP) is also down, while the cap-weighted S&P (etf SPY/VOO) is up.

    Nevertheless, SPX looking for a 6-day winning streak today.

    SQ down after earnings, fintech stocks like SQ and PYPL have been out of favor lately along with the credit card stocks.

    I don't like DKNG either, looks toppy when you look at the whole chart. They report tomorrow morning.
    Seems gambling stocks joined marijuana stocks in shitting the bed this year.

    I'm not liking fintech stocks right now. The credit card companies are starting to get blowback (eg from Amazon) about the fees that they charge to retailers. It sucks because I like getting 3% cash back, although if we're being honest it probably means smart retailers are raising prices an extra 7% beforehand.
    Curious how AFRM will do on their ER next week.
    Maybe the only fintech stock that interests me right now is SOFI, so I'm watching them this month. Also reporting next week.

    Yeah SOFI has outperformed PYPL and SQ lately for sure, I might buy some shares at some point but not before their earnings report

    Morning Lineup - 11/5/21 - Semi-Important Jobs Days
    Fri, Nov 5, 2021

    First things first. Don't forget to set your clocks back Saturday night before going to bed. Now, on to the markets. Futures are higher again this morning as the S&P 500 looks to close out a perfect week with record closing highs every single day. Last night was a busy one for earnings, so the positive tone in futures suggests that despite some misses, investors were pleased with what they heard. Now the focus shifts to the October jobs report where economists are expecting just over half a million new jobs. The last two reports have had some pretty significant misses relative to expectations, so we'll see if the trend breaks this month.

    The performance of the semiconductor sector lately has been stunning. After successfully testing its 200-DMA in mid-October, the semiconductor sector ETF (SMH) has surged to record highs. More recently, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) has rallied more than 1% every day this week.

    [​IMG]

    With just 36 prior streaks of four or more days in the last 25 years, these kinds of streaks don’t happen very often but they aren't unprecedented. Streaks of five or more days are much more uncommon though. There have only been 12 prior streaks where the SOX was up 1%+ for five straight days. Currently, the SOX is indicated to open up about 0.60%, so an extension of the current streak to five can't be ruled out at this point, although the jobs report will have a say in that. Moving on, there have only been four prior streaks where the SOX was up 1%+ for more than five straight days, and all of those streaks ended at six trading days.

    hey, does @Venom08 still check into this site? I remember he called for dow 38k a few years back or something. whelp, don't look now but we're not very far off from those levels here lol. If you're still out there lurking @Venom08 i just wanted you to know that was a crazy ass good call on your part man. I know many (including myself actually) thought you were a little over your skies to make such a bold and what seemed like outrageous call. but, looks like it's inevitable that we'll print it at some point, perhaps during the traditional santa claus rally coming up here during this holiday stretch. missed your inputs in here bigly time mang!

    I took a look at those names again, and CAR's move is looking similar to what AMC did in June.

    And middle of the month coming up, look at what that time of the month meant for SPY from May to September.

    Of course, it always recovers.
