Afternoon Note
The market continues to sway back and forth, but it looks like buyers are fading and perhaps sensing a chance to get better entry prices. That’s the conundrum of the market. The pullback made some favorites cheaper. There are a lot of would-be buyers trying not to be the first to jump in but certainly not wanting to be the last, either.
All sectors except Consumer Discretionary are lower, but I must point out the biggest losers are defensive sectors:
And the biggest loser is once again the energy sector.

Remember in the market it’s not about how the market opens, but how it closes. So, this session is a great opportunity for buyers to decide the coast is clear.
I think Peloton (PTON), which reports after the close will beat, and rally, and other names reporting could give us a better read on the restaurant industry and the TikTok saga.
