Tuesday’s one-day blunder gave investors the opportunity to snatch up stocks at a discount, which they did. On Thursday the market resumed its recent slow motion flat lining action. Perhaps, traders were taking a day off before today’s busy economic calendar.
Before the market opens, the second stab at 1st quarter GDP and the Chicago Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) will be released. Then later in the morning, the final Michigan Sentiment survey for May will be released. The GDP number could be a market mover, if it comes in dramatically worse than the first estimate for last quarter.
It is the last trading day of the month, which also can also add some volatility to the equation. After a rise of 1.69% in May, the renters will be looking for any excuse for profit taking. Should today be a down session; be prepared to be buyers at the close.
I plan on using the trading session to adjust our portfolios. I am seeking to put some capital into the financial sector and will look to raise some cash, likely from smaller positions or underperformers.
As for those short position we put on in Wynn Resorts (WYNN) the other day; the stock is now technically breaking down and acting as if there is a bigger problem at the hotel and casino chain. Hence, we are keeping our shorts on.
I was interviewed a few weeks ago by NJTV on the subject of the ABCs of Trading paper that I recently co-authored. The segment finally aired on Wednesday.
Lastly, it’s do-or-die for the Broadway Blueshirts. I see King Henrik shutting down the Bolts 3 – 1 sending the Rangers to their second consecutive Stanley Cup Finals.
