Fallond / Trade Ideas / Jim Cramer : July 28th

I have updated the returns for Wednesday and Thursday as there were some errors in the stocks for myself and Jim Cramer. Friday's week-on-week comparison continued the decent performance of the market ETF's; closing the week up +0.98%. Jim Cramer had no stocks for Friday. My one newsletter picks were net flat on the week (+0.06%), with the Trade Ideas picks down -0.62%. My own picks were hurt by the performance of SPAR, which ended the week down -7.00%. The Trade Ideas scan had its own millstone with SEH down -7.49%.



Although I have not updated the performance charts in some time, the average net one-week return for each set of stock picks is as follows:

My newsletter average return: -0.19%, n = 55
Trade Ideas average return: +0.27% n = 59
Jim Cramer's average return: -0.10%, n = 52
Market ETF's average return: +0.03%, n = 59

(For each n, an average of 6-8 stocks were used)

S&P "Bull Trap"?

Image
I thought there was sufficient evidence to argue against a "bull trap" in the S&P, but it would appear the market wasn't interested in such thoughts and sellers were quick to reverse the initial push above 4,200.  Adding to the pain were new 'sell' triggers in MACD and On-Balance-Volume, although the former occurred above the 'bullish' zero line, making it a weak signal. Selling volume ranked as distribution as selling momentum picked up speed.  The index is also underperforming relative to the Russell 2000.

"Black Candlesticks" are a concern for the S&P and Nasdaq

Image
A bright start for bulls on the back of positive $NVDA earnings wasn't enough to generate a day of meaningful gains.  However, it did help stall the losses of the last couple of days. The Nasdaq was the biggest beneficiary of today's action, but not enough to see an end-of-day finish that cleared last week's swing high, nor delivery of a large white candlestick, despite the morning breakout gap.  Technicals are net bullish and relative performance against the S&P has become consistently stronger since the start of May.  While today's candlestick I would view as typically 'bearish', today's volume ranked as confirmed accumulation (bullish). Overall, I would be looking for higher prices from here.

Round 2 for the bearish "black" candlestick in S&P and Nasdaq

Image
The Nasdaq started brightly but ended up closing below its open price, but above yesterday's close. The S&P did something similar, although the intraday range is narrower. These two setups are somewhat complicated by the new 'buy' triggers in On-Balance-Volume for both the Nasdaq and S&P. And the new MACD trigger 'buy' for the S&P. Price action is key, so I would expect the candlestick to trump the technical picture; watch for lower prices tomorrow.
