Broad Market Outlook
As we are in the thick of earnings season we are getting reminded no matter how amazing the past is, the street only cares about one thing, the future.
As Apple excited most traders with an amazing past.
They beat EPS exceptions (the past)
They beat their revenue estimates (the past)
Their services revenue beat (the past)
Quarterly revenue hit a new all time high (also the past)
All of this information is great information unfortunately all it tells us is what has happened.
Not what they expect to happen in the future.
Apple quickly gaped up after the report was announced as eager traders expected a free lunch.
Yet most were caught by surprise when the bill came as Apple sold off and traded lower after the report due to a lack of guidance.
This is a perfect lesson to remind ourselves that the market does not care about an EPS beat or miss.
They care about what the company expects to happen in the future.
The average investor places bets on the results of the horse race that has already ended (EPS beat/miss), while you can find the public information of who is going to win or lose the next race by spending a few minutes listening to the conference call.
By focusing on finding what the companies you invest in are expecting to do in the future, this information will give you a edge over the average investor.

Big Picture Set Up
ABBV
ABBV continues to inch higher with earnings that did not move the stock much, still keeping a stop vs $105 for now.
DHR
DHR took out the all time high and it might just need a little pull back for the next push through $260 in time.
DRI
Tight weekly Blue Sky Breakout setting up in DRI, will be looking to add above $148 for now vs $140.
MMC
Hand sitting time in MMC, hold your winners.
MXIX
We can see a textbook Blue Sky Breakout forming through $99 in time.
PHM
Hand sitting after the solid earnings from PHM.
SNAP
For now we can see there has been a seller at $64, adding on the way up could make sense when that seller breaks, short term a stop vs $56 makes sense however we can see that $48 is the real pivot.
SNOW
Took a feeler up through $240, seems $242 is the area to add above vs $220.
UPS
We say in July after a big weekly move after earnings it was wise to do nothing as it ran into what become the recent all time high ($175), seems like for now could be wise to continue to hold for the time being.
