From Cabot Top Ten Trader
The market had another decent week, with the major indexes finishing above key moving averages, though all are still stuck in multi-month ranges. But the calm action hid another round of vicious rotation beneath the surface, with most growth-oriented stocks at least taking on water, if not unraveling altogether. With few stocks in sustained uptrends and the major indexes effectively trending sideways, we continue to advise a mostly cautious stance, with small new positions and plenty of cash on the sideline. That said, you shouldn’t stick your head in the sand, either—we continue to see a good number of setups out there, and we believe a lot will come down to earnings season. A spate of breakouts would be encouraging, but as usual, we have to see it first.
