Yesterday,
there was a lot of sound and fury, excitement and concern, and more gyrations
as money kept bouncing from one sector to another. I’m not sure where all those
billions pouring into the market are going. It feels as though the same cash
just keeps tilting from one end of the market to another.
The market
was split between aggressive buyers seeking out mega growth names again, while
everyone else played it safe with Utilities and Real Estate names.

February 12, 2021.

Earnings Season
According to
FactSet, this quarter has seen the most rapid increases in earnings estimates
ever ahead of earnings season. It means companies are going to have to beat and
guide well above the consensus.

Today’s Session
Today, it’s
all about that Coinbase's (COIN) Initial Public Offering (IPO), which fetched a
reference price of $250.00 last night but has traded as high as $343.00 in the
private market. The word has lost a fair amount of luster since its heyday back
in the late 1800s.
Well, as of
today, COIN is back.
noun: coin; plural
noun: coins
1.
a flat, typically round piece of
metal with an official stamp, used as money.
"she
opened her purse and took out a coin."
verb: coin; 3rd person
present: coins; past tense: coined; past participle: coined; gerund or present participle: coining
1.
make (coins) by stamping metal.
"guineas
and half-guineas were coined."
What’s Up Market?
After a
stronger than expected inflation read bond yields edged lower. Despite weak
internals, including new highs to lows, major indices ,including the NASDAQ 100,
begin the session at all-time high points. The VIX has come down
tremendously, but volume has dried up as well.
Some would
ask what word best describes the message of the maket and what does it mean for
near term direction?
1.
Calm
2.
Complacency
3.
Confusion
I think its
D) all of the above.
