Snap, crackle and pop – geometry of motion

As to ETFs and algorithms resetting …

 

Be ready for tomorrow and Friday

 

Pre-open indications:  2 hit and 3 <miss by pennies>

 

I answer one question, in which company should investors commit and keep their money

 

The truth is harsh, but reality is what it is; get the sector’s daily interpretation in your email …

 


 

RMi’s daily and continual “reads” of the goings-on of the SCG&RT sector can improve investor’s and trader’s odds - just because a stock underperforms the market doesn’t mean you have to lose money.

 

 

Henry’omics:

From the pre-open’s investor’s letter title, “The oversold are the toys in the sandbox that we want to play with … as the sector points to a salvage and repossession of models.”

As I had stated, “My thesis, it was a play day for trading!”

 

BUT, hold on to your wallet tomorrow and Friday!
