Stock Market Indexes Follow-Through

Stocks rallied across the board, led by the SP600 and Nasdaq 100 up 1.5%, on higher volume. This follow thru comes on the sixth day after the start of the attempted rally on 8/29 for the Nasdaq and the fourth day (8/31) on the NYSE. While volume did not have a huge increase over the Friday session, volume was higher none the less with good breadth.

Breadth on the NYSE was 13 to 5 positive and 2 to 1 positive on the Nasdaq. Lots of stocks participated in this rally including the Small Caps, Retail, Chips, Biotech, Building, Financials, and Telco stocks.

It was a good day overall. I made some small buys but mainly sold stock overall today. Leaving me with some cash to put to use if I get some more great looking chart patterns. Today did not offer any and I was sure there would be one or two out there. But there isn't. So I wait.

Negative headlines are still dominating this market and that helps support the case of why we are rallying. I was not even sure which direction we were going to go, even though ALL TRENDS WERE UP. I blame that on all the negative coverage of the tragedy on TV.
