Saturday Review’s recording (for md/15) …
The pre-Thanksgiving correction had ended, but the pre-correction rally had barely resumed. Wednesday’s California incident exploited the vulnerability of a simple correction, and exacerbated its reaction down. ECB and Draghi combined Thursday to deliver a one-two knockout punch provided a one-two punch. But the market was only playing rope-a-dope, and Friday came out swinging through almost every round.
This week’s Saturday Review discusses whether new highs are back in-play, and where a correction should end if another were to appear. No actual boxing was discussed.
The following stock requests were reviewed in this order:
SBUX, NFLX, C, RGLD, OUTR, ABTL, DG (& DLTR), PII
12/05/2015 09:24:47 David B: good morning
12/05/2015 09:24:55 Charles Daniel: hi0
12/05/2015 09:31:48 Mark Glezer: gm
12/05/2015 09:38:47 MK: the terrorists didn’t do it….. the guns did it

12/05/2015 09:44:35 MK: right as we turned
12/05/2015 09:47:17 MKK: rod why go back to this range
12/05/2015 09:47:26 MKK: if not to probe the ghights
12/05/2015 09:47:27 MKK: highs
12/05/2015 09:52:24 SM: So then, a close below 2060 confirms that yesterday was nothing more than a correction of what may ultimately manifest as a nascent downleg of much larger size?
12/05/2015 09:53:37 MKK: aside from august, stopping and reversing on a dimes don’t repeat and reverse the following days
12/05/2015 09:53:56 MKK: especially when they involve 2-3% moves
12/05/2015 09:54:25 MKK: IMO playing a big decline is a infentessimal probability
12/05/2015 09:54:41 MKK: especially with a week left before volume vanishes
12/05/2015 09:54:55 MKK: Flat to higher is IMO the 95% play
12/05/2015 09:55:30 MKK: bad spelling
12/05/2015 09:56:11 MKK: just feel like everyone is still looking for a big delicne
12/05/2015 09:56:15 MKK: decline
12/05/2015 09:56:19 MKK: so its not going to happen
12/05/2015 09:58:05 Mark Glezer: mayba a big decline now needs to be triggered by bad news that does persist for a few days & that is not very likely
12/05/2015 09:59:50 SM: My contraran indicators are kicking in. The ‘opinions’ always get stronger at major turning points.
