The Dow closed another +101 points higher; SPX +6.39; and, Nasdaq gained +22.82! Recently, it always makes me “happy” to see XLF green! The financials really need to […]

AMAT
AMAT broke above the resistance at 21.75 to close at 22.02 today and made a new all-time high of 22.12. This is a bullish move and could send AMAT higher before its earnings on 8/14.
