Issues
The intermediate-term trend of most major indexes and most leading stocks is still pointed up, but there’s no doubt we’re seeing much more choppy action, with most leading stocks basically marking time since early February. The good news is that, while we are seeing some sluggishness and a larger number of potholes, there are some areas of the market that are perking up—retail names started to pop three or four weeks ago, and more recently we’ve seen some commodity areas begin to flex their muscles. As we said last Friday, then, it’s not so much that there are major red flags out there, but more that the very bright green light has dimmed some as money starts to slosh around and some uncertainties (like interest rates and the Fed) pop up. We’ll again leave our Market Monitor at a level 7.

This week’s list is heavy in commodities and newer retail names, and our Top Pick looks like it’s leading what could be a group move.
Updates: Movers & Shakers
It’s been another choppy week with not much net movement in the indexes. As of this morning, the S&P 500, Nasdaq and NYSE Composite are all flat on the week—though in the bond market, there was a big move, with five- and 10-year Treasury yields up 0.2% to 0.25%.
