Afternoon Note
I am loving the action today. It's subtle, but it is the kind of beneath the surface action that's telling.
Utilities and Healthcare are laggards today as the risk on trade resumes.

There were more downgrades this morning than usual, but actual sell ratings are back to pre-pandemic levels.

Tesla (TSLA) is one of the stocks to watch this week- big wall street shorts failed to jawbone the stock lower - it might be the mother of all short squeezes this week.
