I am loving the action today. It's subtle, but it is the kind of beneath the surface action that's telling.

  • Bond yield higher but growth stocks act good
  • Supply chain constraints but Consumer Discretionary top sector
  • Lots of walls of worry and the market trying to climb them all 
  • Semiconductors act great

Utilities and Healthcare are laggards today as the risk on trade resumes.

Tesla (TSLA) is one of the stocks to watch this week- big Wall Street shorts failed to jawbone the stock lower - it might be the mother of all short squeezes this week.
