Tale of the Tape
Good evening everyone. Stocks closed higher today so maybe yesterday’s fade and fugly candle was just a one time thing. The S&P 500 rose 1.34%.
Whereas yesterday the index closed 2% plus off its highs, today it closed 2% plus off its lows. Impressive Turnaround Tuesday.
Yet, this was the second day in a row the Nasdaq 100, and big cap tech in general, lagged the broader market. If you’ve been betting on this turn of events, you’ve been murdered and we offer sincerest condolences – but at some point who knows.
This is the most concentrated the S&P 500 has ever been in its top five stocks and they’re all big tech. Check out this chart from Market Ear which tells the tale.
23% of the index is 5 stocks. Could be nothing.
Energy and Materials were the leading sectors which is always amusing.

| Russell 2000 | 1,403 | +1.76% |
