| NASDAQ Retreats as Long Term Rates
Rise The NASDAQ fell 4.9% this week as rising long term interest rates rose, the 10-year note hitting 1.6% at its peak. This is higher than the S&P 500's yield of 1.5%. The rise in the markets has been fueled, in part, by a search for higher returns than are available in fixed interest assets, so higher rates will be more attractive to risk sensitive investors. This hurt the high flying tech stocks that represent 50% of the NASDAQ top 100. Rates did fall back slightly on Friday, allowing a recovery in the NASDAQ from a support level to close 0.6% higher for the day. Fed Chairman Powell addressed inflation fears when he told Congress this week that the rising rates were in anticipation of a strong economic recovery but that it could be 2-3 years before the Fed's target of 2% inflation is reached.  Since most breakouts come from
NASDAQ listed stocks, this was a disappointing week for
breakouts with there being only 11, with most losing ground by
the end of the week. The standout performer was MERC with a 9.8%
gain.

| Five9, Inc.
(FIVN) Five9 is a software company developing cloud (internet) based services. On February 19, it set a high handle (meaning the pivot was above the left cup) which was followed by heavy profit taking. Since setting the handle low it has recovered to within 5% of its pivot and traded on double its 50 day volume on Friday. FIVN is worth watching in the coming week.  |
