Same Old Story

What happens
when the Fed tries to give a party
and nobody shows up? That
continues to be the story of this year. Think about it. Six Fed cuts since Jan.
3 and all major indices remain down. If that doesn’t put some worry on the
table, I don’t know what will.

The Dow, S&P 500 and the Nasdaq are still in less-than stellar technical
shape. I do believe a rally can ensue  because of oversold conditions but I
don’t expect great upside from here. How about a continued trading range? I will
take it.

A few breakouts look OK here. Notice how excited I am. Keep in mind, the last
set of breakouts from a few weeks ago, for the most part, have failed.

respective gaps.
