New Business
Fingers crossed it seems that 99% of you reading this have full access to the app, if you are the 1% who don't I am sorry that we suck. Shoot me a PM on GroupMe now and I will get it fixed!
If you would like to take a few seconds of your free time to leave us a review that would be nice :)

Broad Market Outlook
The market showed us a clear sign this past week, it gave us a pivot in Nasdaq (7000) and 272 in the SPY that said, we want to retest highs and if not there is your out. Now its still not all sunshine and rainbows, Utilities is the first sector to take out new all time highs, bonds have been ticking up, along with REIT's ticking up near 52 week highs. The latter of the two can be chalked up to the market reacting to the soft stance the FED has taken on rates after the shit show we experienced in the end of the 2018.
Just like on the way down the market tends to go much further than anyone can expect, on the upside the same holds true. There are plenty of names where the meat of the move is gone, MELI is up 100% in 3 months as an example. However when things feel safe and healthy as the market has been feeling lately, the star set ups can really shine.
This tends to be a time when one's ego can start to poke its head out as most trades tend to work in our favor, and stops might be forgotten, set ups not worth taken are bought or what we call lazy trading might come out. You have to monitor this and realize when other people are checking you, its for your own good.

Macro Rotation Outlook
Cheat Sheet
Nasdaq on its way to prior high, 7000 stop
S&P 500 281 resistance, 272 support
Dow Jones 262 resistance, 252 support
Mid Caps looks like it wants to retest 334 area
Small Caps looks like it wants to retest sub 150 area
China banging on 102 resistance
Japan avoiding
Europe broke down trend
Emerging Markets working on breaking base
India broke out
Russia 21 and 21.55 DCA
10 Year near lows
Bond breaking 80
USD flagging
Oil turning resistance into support
Nasdaq
Great week in the market after we snapped right back, with that hard pivot low, that helps give us the legs to work our way back to highs. Anything above 7,000 is fair game as we continue this run back to the prior highs. I will tell you first hand there are a lot of people caught flat footed in this rally that will be looking to chase.
SPY
The SPY is still having some time at this 281 level which is expected, main thing is as long as we stay above 272, 268, and really 260, there is not much stopping us from retesting prior highs.
Dow Jones
The DOW is in a 10 point range between 262 and 252, barely a stones throw away from highs and this 266 if you zoom out would be 3rd times.
MDY Mid Cap Stocks
350 is still acting as resistance as the Mid Caps look like they want to start rolling over to test pivot lows like the 334 area.
IWM Small Caps
This 160 level in the Small Caps is such a monster level, for now it seems like the Mid Caps where it might need to continue to roll over a bit and find its footing, anything above 144 is fair game.
GXC China
The base GXC has formed in a 20 point range sets it up to eventually retest those prior highs, for now 95 has show as a pivot low as it works to break this 102 area of resistance.
EWJ Japan
Still avoiding for the most part.
VGK Europe ETF
Europe finally breaking the downtrend, we sold some too soon and that is all a part of trading.
VWO Emerging Markets
VWO has been in a nice 3 range between 40 and 43 as it works its way to break that prior pivot high and start to work its way out of the base so it can start a new up trend.
INDA India
India say see you later as it broke the 33.50 flag, still holding some and will be the first to admit I forget this DCA.
RSX Russia
We missed India however Russia is setting up just the same, 21 and 21.50 are two spots to add vs 20.
10 Year Treasury Note Yielding 2.59%
If you are looking to get a mortgage remember that your interest rate is based off the 10 year among a few other factor, when the 10 year is 75 basis points off highs, you can lock in a great rate.
10 year Treasury Note 2.59% (higher = good)
2 year Treasury Note 2.44%
BND Bond Market
Starting to break above the 80 level!
USD
The dollar is still flagging in this range.
OIL
Oil is starting to turn resistance into support, and if you type up any oil names you can see most are happy about this change in trend.

VDE Energy
VDE working on breaking 90, a stop vs 85 or 82 and let it work.
VIS Industrial
Lower highs, looks as if it wants to roll over which would be fine after this insane run, stop 136.
VOX Telecom
Telecom right at that resistance level for 2 years, after looking in some profit, seems like it would be the time to start trending higher, 80 stop.
______________________________
Cyclical - sectors that are more sensitive overall market conditions.
VAW Materials
In a nice 5 point range between 120 to 125, in time could add 125 if it gives us the opportunity.
VCR Consumer Discretionary
In an 8 point range between 170 and 162, eventually thought 170 we should see a move back to the prior highs.
VFH Financials
68 vs 64 flag, this would be the 5th attempt at 68 and a spot that could be worth adding back.
VNQ REIT
At highs, stop below 83 and let it work.
______________________________
Defensive- sectors that tend to outperforming during sub par market conditions.
VDC Consumer Staples
Starting to break resistance, stop 139.
VHT Healthcare
Nice 10 point range in this VHT, this 176 is an interesting spot, really need to give it vs 166.
VPU Utilities
New highs, set the 126 stop and let it work, also a red flag.

Sub Sector Rotation
Cheat Sheet
IBB 106 is the out
IBB Bio Tech
Still showing us 106 is the out when/if we are wrong.

The New Big Picture Set Up
The Big Picture EXPD $73+ 12 Month Target
EXPD has been setting up similar to FIS, defined level of resistance, has attempted the level over 3 times and is showing us a nice clean out vs 73.
Big Picture Target $95+
Big Picture Entry $78.05
Stop $72.89
______________________________
The Big Picture's Updated
The Big Picture FIS $130+ 12 Month Target
Fidelity has been flagging at this $110 for just under a year now, we have seen this blue sky bull flag a hundred times, when it wants to break $110 we want to be in.
FIS held the $105 area so we can tighten up the risk for now, still looks great to break this level.
Big Picture Target $130+
Big Picture Entry $110.05
Stop $104.89
The Big Picture UNH $330+ 12 Month Target
UNH has been showing us that 273 has been resistance, the seller did let go in November and December however whoever he is, he is back and holding that level down. For now its still quite a large range so we will have to be patient with the DCA's.
Took a quick trade in UNH, after the doji after the 20 point run, took the gains. Have no problem getting back in when it sets back up.
Big Picture Target $330+
Big Picture Entry $273.05
Stop $231.89
The Big Picture ASND $100+ 12 Month Target
ASND has been flagging at highs in quite the range for the last year plus, as of late we can see 3rd times a charm forming at 76, with the next attempt being 4th times. More importantly is that we are seeing a recent pivot low that has helped tighten up the risk in this trade vs 64. Now there is still 12 worth of risk however if we can get it the real room this should easily be a name that we could take home 30, 40, 50 points in it in time.
What's 60 points between friends.
Big Picture Target $100+
Big Picture Entry $76.05
Stop $65.89
The Big Picture DXCM $200+ 12 Month Target
We tried to buy $150.05 this week and it was withing pennies of ticking us in, lucky for us and our mental capital, that 3rd times a charm $153 is looking mighty nice for a blue sky breakout.
Working its way back to $156 for the 3rd time, will have to add to stay consistent.
Big Picture Target $200+
Big Picture Entry $156.05
Feeler $150.05
Stop $134.89
The Big Picture CDNS $54+ 12 Month Target
So we are shifting gears away from the large cap names and taking a look at CDNS that has been setting up through this 47 level since July. Now this is by no means a cake walk 47 buy as it has ran basically in a straight line up from 40. Will start light and if it wants to blast 47 and never look back even better, if it wants to start setting out we should have not problem adding in time.
Stop currently set 27% higher than our entry! Great job to everyone still in!
Big Picture Target of $54 exceeded
Stop $59.89
