Weekly Commentary

By Tuesday it became evident that repeal and replace of Obamacare was in trouble. Although the NASDAQ did recover from Tuesday's close, it did so on low volume and closed with a loss of 1.22% for the week. Lower than average volume shows that confidence in the Trump rally is slipping and the markets must now worry that promised tax  reform and infrastructure spending may now be delayed or in jeopardy.

Low volume kept the number of breakouts for the week to just 4 all of which came from a  cup and handle pattern. FLXN broke out on Thursday on news of a  takeover offer and we issued an alert at 10:39 am when the price was $22.55. The stock closed on Friday at $27.27 representing a gain of 21% over the alert price.
