Hope for a stimulus rally. Now Congress has to deliver. Portfolio up 3% DJIA 9265.43 up 4.67% 413.21 S&P 985.4 up 4.77% 44.85 NASDAQ 1770.03 up 3.43% 58.74 Only 1.23 billion shares exchanging hands on the NYSE, compared to the one-year average of 1.49 billion. Put/Call ratio 0.81 Under 0.40 is Very Bullish sentiment, 0.40-59 Bullish, 0.60-0.79, Neutral, 0.800-0.99 Bearish, Over 1.00 Very Bearish. When many are bullish, this may be time to take profit. VIX 52.97 When it runs below 20, usually a good time to take some profits. If above 35, good time to buy. Sector Watch Breakout of the day $XOI Oil 955.16 +99.93 +11.68% Analyst upgrade plus higher crude make for a rally. Collapse of the day None all sectors were up. Crude $75.35 Nat Gas $6.76 Gold $798 Silver $9.75 9 out of 10 in the portfilio were up. Only CME was down. Short-term interbank lending in dollars, measured by Libor, declined across all terms. The difference between what banks pay each other for three-month loans and what the government pays, known as the TED spread, declined 65 basis points to 2.96%. For just the third time in October, U.S. markets actually close in the green. If the market has a trend, we should see a 2% down day tomorrow.
