Technical Picture - Modest Gains


A slightly weaker open following higher than expected initial claims (429k vs. 390k). We chopped in a narrow range for most of the session, but managed new recovery closing highs by EOD. Next short-term target is 1362.

Stocks in play for tomorrow - RIMM - Q1 earnings warning - big gap down. CAT earnings in pre-market. Since Caterpillar last reported, the stock has gained 17.5% versus the S&P 500, which is 4.8% higher. Also, since CAT last reported, it purchased Bucyrus (previously BUCY).

Biotech/Pharma ETF IBB has been one of the best performing sectors since the March correction as depicted on the chart above.

AMGN rebounded strong this week after last Friday's earnings sell-off. Now ESRX, a pharma related name, is doing the same following earnings weakness on Monday evening.

AMRN another Biotech, set up a sweet dip buy as depicted below. Also setting up a C&H pattern for tomorrow.

Two trades in AMRN. 1. Long bullish rounded bottom; and 2. Re-enter long when price corrects back to its trendline as depicted on 1 min. chart below.
