What’s Hot, What’s Not
Notes on the latest moves in the industry groups:
- The song remains pretty much the same after a fairly weak week in the market. The groups holding up are still the biotechs and other miscellaneous health care, various tech names, and the gold and silver stocks.
- Banks and paper are still hanging around at or near their lows.
- Not much else of interest, as many of the charts are still plowing a sideways path: set #1 — set #2 — set #3 — set #4
