Good MorningStocks tried to rally right out of the gate on Monday but the move was short-lived. The S&P 500 topped out near 0.5% higher on the day then gave up all of the gains and more. While vaccine news continues to stoke hope, the rising number of COVID cases and widening lockdowns have the market on edge. What investors need to remember is that it will take months if not several quarters for enough doses of the vaccine to make full economic reopening a viable proposition.
The action on Monday was light but might be foreshadowing a deeper move to come. The high of the day was a hair short of the all-time high and a confirmation of resistance at the level. The question that needs to be answered now is if the market will pull back a little or a lot. With most major momentum indices pointing lower the odds of at least a little pullback are very high.

From Our Partners | | Moderna's stock doubled in a single day after its cancer vaccine hit key Phase 3 goals, and Merck jumped too. But according to a former Steve Cohen fund manager, the next big opportunity is not Moderna or Merck.
It is a different kind of company tied to a technology already backed by Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Jeff Bezos, and Peter Thiel. Nvidia's Jensen Huang says it will have a dramatic impact on daily life, while Anthropic's CEO believes it could unlock a century of medical progress in just ten years.

Of course, it also depends on there being some demand for the item in question, but... Read the Full Story |
