A Few Charts

Now that the expiration games pinning is out of the way we can see what the market really wants to do. I’m still not thrilled with the ‘quality’ of the recent breakout — the Nasdaq hasn’t joined in yet and volume is just OK.

Here are charts of the Nasdaq, S&P 500, Neoware Systems (NWRE), D.R. Horton (DHI), IntercontinentalExchange (ICE) and Google:

DR Horton, along with a few other home builders popped up on my bearish scans:
