Weekly Commentary
Dead Cat Bounce; Follow Through Day for AAPL

The week opened with a strong 6% intraday reversal for the NASDAQ on 1.5% times average volume. The selloff resumed on Tuesday though, confirming that Monday's action was just a dead cat bounce. Volatility continued through the week but closed with another rally for the NASDAQ, closing 3.1% higher, leaving the index essentially flat for the week. Friday's rally followed a strong earnings report from Apple (AAPL) which gained 7%. However, it was clear that investors preferred blue chips when faced with market volatility and the DJI gained 1.3%.
NASDAQ Chart

Friday's surge by AAPL could be considered a 'Follow Through Day' although the term is normally applied to major indexes and can indicate a market bottom. In this case, it is possibly indicating the rout of AAPL is over. Other big cap tech stocks followed Apple's lead and the Vanguard Mega Cap index rose 3.8%, also indicating a possible FTD.

Chart of the Week
H&R Block

Instead of looking for promising cup and handle pattern stocks, I'm starting to focus on stocks that may have bottomed and are starting to rise. H&R Block fell 17.3% from it's high and after gaining 3.1 % just crossed the upper bound of its average true range band. Note that pattern follows that of an FTD as discussed above. With tax season upon us HRB is competing aggressively against Intuit after announcing a mobile banking app, SPRUCE.
