To The Moon

Thanks again to Tiger for awarding the weekly top predictions for SPY & QQQ. We’ve witnessed an incredible 7 green days out of 8 trading days since November. The best thing is that Monday greens, not blues is back again 😂

TGIF chasing away Monday blues? 🥳

The S&P 500 on Friday advanced 1.31% for the week to close at 4,415.24 points, posting gains in four out of five sessions. Its accompanying ETF: SPY added 1.36% and Nasdaq Composite jumps 2.4% for the week.

The central bank chief's hawkish remarks at a conference hosted by the International Monetary Fund on Thursday weighed on sentiment enough to see the S&P 500 (SP500) snap an eight-day win streak, its longest such run since November 2021. However, markets bounced back strongly on Friday as traders largely appeared to brush off Powell's comments.

"With ~90% of companies having reported thus far, earnings have held up better than expected heading into the reporting season. 75% of S&P 500 companies that have reported beat earnings estimates (vs 68% average over the last 4 quarters); however, only 57% are beating revenue estimates (vs 66% average over the last 4 quarters). Earnings growth y/y stands at 3.3% (9.4% ex-Energy), while sales growth stands at 1.3% (3.8% ex-Energy)," JPMorgan's Daniel Motoc said.

Be greedy and less fearful 😉

Turning to the weekly performance of the S&P 500 (SP500) sectors, six of the 11 ended in the green, led by an outsized jump of nearly 5% in Technology.
