The energy stocks have underperformed the stock market during this bounce...even though crude oil has remained range-bound. This is creating a nice buying opportunity.

Lower mortgage rates have not helped the Housing Starts data.  Will it help the home sales data?  Whether it does or not could/should be very important for the housing sector…AND for the general economy as well.

We’ll be watching to see if one issue becomes a cornerstone for VP Harris’s campaign.  If it does, it could/should have an important impact on one key group in the stock market.

We're skeptical about the further upside potential for stocks, BUT we ARE seeing some signs in the charts that this bounce could have some legs, but we’ll have to see more upside follow-through for confirmation.
