Jesse LivermoreNo breakouts today. That tells me the market is not ready to commit, no matter how many names sit near their highs. Thirty approaching is a crowd waiting for a signal, but a crowd does not move price—volume and time do. CBRE, CIB, IT failed their tests; they showed me their line of least resistance points down, and I will not argue with tape. Patience. The confirmed uptrend means nothing if no stock acts right. I will wait for one to prove itself before I put a dime at risk.
