Afternoon Note
It’s been tough sledding out the gate, and there has been nowhere to hide in the stock market, as all sectors are lower. On a granular level, there is interesting action in many oversold names. Moreover, the market is reacting logically considering the risks and worries about the outcome of this week’s trade meeting. I read that as a positive.
If the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 500 points, would anyone raise an eyebrow? It would be chalked up to headlines and the never-ending financial media’s search and promotion of recession (it’s been really embarrassing today).

I think there will be news that rallies the market at the conclusion of the trade meeting, and all the pre-meeting hubris is par for the course.
