Let’s start with the calendar. It’s Thanksgiving week which means a seasonal tailwind for the markets. Today and tomorrow are usually coin flips to a slight bullish bias. The better tailwinds come on Wednesday and Friday, but they haven’t been as strong in recent years.Certainly not to our surprise, the stock market remains in solid shape with all major indices at or close to new highs. Even the long left for dead Russell 2000 index of small companies is only one good day away. Recall that I offered the Russell and S&P 400 index of mid caps as good opportunities a few weeks ago.

However, as I have said all year and basically since late 2022, weakness remains a buying opportunity until proven otherwise. Healthy bull markets rotate. Unhealthy ones see dwindling participation and leadership.On Wednesday we bought SSO, EMB, PCY, more MQQQ, QQQW and MTUM. On Thursday we bought SDS, XMMO, QMOM, IYT and more TAN. We sold SSO and RSP. On Friday we bought more MC.More By This Author:Russia Threatens Nukes – Nvidia The FocusPost-Election Market Analysis Of Winners And Losers – What To Buy And AvoidParticipation Not As Strong
