Can Boeing take down the entire market? – TVO MB 4-08

There was a drop at the open on Monday, which led to a quick recovery by the end of the session. Other than one huge down volume spike around 11am, the Heat Gauge was mostly calm in the bullish CHILLY range.

Some folks are blaming the morning drop on Boeing, as the Dow took a much bigger hit price-wise than the other indices. Can one stock really create a ripple effect that can take down the entire market?

Well, I think if you’ve been trading long enough you know the sensible answer to that question. The market, however, is famous for not making sense and Wall Street is always looking for some kind of scapegoat to put the blame on.

Of course, markets wouldn’t just magically implode over Boeing unless there was something already wrong brewing under the surface. Whether the culprit is China, the Fed, or the border wall is up for you to decide. Right now our Portfolio approach says to HOLD, so on the sidelines is the place to be. -MD

Real Feel: CHILLY – Bulls were in control of the session with substantial selling under the surface.

Cycle: BULLISH III – Retail investors have bitten off way more than they can chew.
