Weekly Commentary
NASDAQ Gains 7.5% Led By Mega Caps; Friday a Possible FTD

Last Friday's bounce from an oversold level continued this week led by the mega cap stocks. For example, the Vanguard Mega-Cap Growth ETF (MGK) gained 8.0%. Briefing.com postulated this was likely due their perceived ability to hold their strength in the face of a weakening economy. MGK is down 26.4% for the year.

Looking at the chart, its possible to consider Friday a "follow through day" being on the 6th day after the upturn on June 17. However, we saw a recent potential FTD on May 13 which quickly faded. With so much uncertainty regarding inflation, earnings and the war, it's possible this rally will fail also. Our Trend Reversal signals continue to remain negative.

The upswing did bring some positive breakouts, with 31 gaining at least 5%. See table below.
Chart of the Week
Vanguard Real Estate ETF (VNQ)

As before, I look for stocks that are potentially starting to build a new base by looking for those moving above their Average True Range. This week there were 59 that met that test, with 14 of them being REITs. REITs have been beaten down, but are now attracting buyers because of their potential to deliver higher dividends to offset inflation.
Of the 14 REITs in the screen, it's difficult to recommend any individual REIT. So instead I am posting the Vanguard Real Estate ETF, VNQ, which I own personally.
