Squawk Morning Briefing: DJIA New All-Time High
The major U. S. large-cap indices finally made new all-time highs on Thursday, fulfilling our outlook that has been looking for just such an event. That doesn’t mean the advance is over and today’s videos look at the possibilities. While the equities have been visiting uncharted territory, the Euro has been […]
Squawk Morning Briefing: Still in A Third Wave Up?
Overnight U. S. equity futures regained much of what they gave back following IBM earnings. That keeps many of the scenarios from last night’s DJIA briefing on track and, if there can be follow-through during the cash session, might suggest that a third wave in the move up from June lows may still be ongoing. […]
Squawk Morning Briefing: Considering the Uptrend
Tuesday’s setback in U. S. equities did nothing to suggest that any uptrend might be over. We consider the possibility that selling might continue, over coming days while maintaining the current bullish trend — at least for now.
Squawk Morning Briefing: Many Forces
This morning’s action provides a good example of why we pay attention to earnings and other events which can affect markets. Two DJIA components reported this morning: KO and JNJ. While we believe that the wave structure offers us the best road map to see where markets are going, there are sometimes multiple paths […]
Squawk Morning Briefing: Earnings Parade Continues
This week sees the stream of quarterly earnings reports continue with 11 of the 30 DJIA components scheduled to release numbers.

Squawk Morning Briefing: All-Time Highs?
Many media outlets are reporting on new all-time highs in the stock market. We know that in the S&P 500 and the DJIA that we have only seen new closing highs. Nevertheless, heading for that new all-time high remains one of the scenarios we are considering just as we have been for several weeks. […]
Squawk Morning Briefing: From Helicopters to Rockets
Breadth thrust or not, markets are still up thanks to Bernanke comments on Thursday which market-watchers are interpreting as an indication that easy money will continue. That is keeping the dollar down — after all, they are easy money means dollars will be more available and, therefore, less valuable. And just about every […]
Squawk Morning Briefing: Missed It
Tuesday’s positive breadth go us closer to generating a thrust signal, but it fell short of the mark with a reading of 59.55% compared to the 61.50% needed. Even if we were to be generous because of the last weeks holiday and allow for an extra day to reach the required level, it would […]
Squawk Morning Briefing: Breadth Thrust?
We are on the verge of observing a Zweig breadth thrust signal which is considered to be a relatively reliable indicator of a substantial up move even though it is rare. The signal occurs whenever the 10-day moving average of % advancers moves from oversold to overbought in a 10-day window. We have […]
Squawk Morning Briefing: Eyes on AA
Many consider the quarterly report from AA after the bell today to be the start of earnings season. As one of only 30 components, the aluminum company has the potential to have a noticeable impact on the index, but it is one of the lower priced constituents and, therefore, probably not a huge impact […]
