I was wrong about Tesla, the shares are actually down this morning:
- MarketWatch – Tesla shares shed gains to trade down 5.4% as analysts take mixed view of latest quarter
- Business Insider – Tesla sinks as it continues to burn through cash
- Bloomberg – Tesla Is Burning Through Cash
Even in this Euphoric Market somebody finally noticed that the company loses huge amounts of money every quarter.
Let’s look at the numbers – listed below are this week’s trend numbers for the Markets I track:
The following table is based on the Z Option Market Analysis Tool – which determines if a market is trending by assigning a trending score from -3 to +3. This helps us keep our trading with the trend.
| Symbol | Description | Short Term Trend | Medium Term Trend |
| $DJI | Dow Jones Industrial Average | 3 | 3 |
| SPX | S&P 500 INDEX | 3 | 3 |
| RUT | RUSSELL 2000 INDEX | 3 | 3 |
| NDX | NASDAQ-100 INDEX INDEX | 3 | 3 |
| VIX | CBOE MARKET VOLATILITY INDEX | 3 | -1 |
| /ZB[H7] | 30-Year U.S. Treasury Bond Futures,ETH | 1 | -1 |
| /ZN[H7] | 10-Year U.S. Treasury Note Futures,ETH | 3 | 2 |
| /GC[J7] | Gold Futures, ETH | 3 | 3 |
| /CL[J7] | Light Sweet Crude Oil Futures,ETH | 3 | 3 |
| /DX[H7] | US Dollar Index Futures | 3 | 3 |
| $DJT | Dow Jones Transportation Average | 1 | 3 |
| XLK | SELECT SECTOR SPDR TRUST TECHNOLOGY SELECT INDEX | 3 | 3 |
| XLI | SELECT SECTOR SPDR TRUST INDUSTRIAL SELECT INDEX | 3 | 3 |
| XLY | SELECT SECTOR SPDR TRUST CONSUMER DIS SELECT INDEX | 3 | 3 |
| XLB | SELECT SECTOR SPDR TRUST MATERIALS SELECT SEC INDEX | 3 | 3 |
| XLE | SELECT SECTOR SPDR TRUST ENERGY SELECT INDEX | -3 | -3 |
| XLP | SELECT SECTOR SPDR TRUST CONSUMER STAPLES INDEX | 3 | 3 |
| XLV | SELECT SECTOR SPDR TRUST HEALTH CARE SELECT INDEX | 3 | 3 |
| XLU | SELECT SECTOR SPDR TRUST UTILITIES SELECT INDEX | 3 | 3 |
| XLF | SELECT SECTOR SPDR TRUST FINANCIAL SELECT SECTOR FUND | 3 | 3 |
Any market showing a 3 or a -3 is trending strongly – and should be factored into any options strategy you are contemplating.
I have never done this analysis and had so many different markets in the green before – Bonds, Gold, Oil, and Equities should not be rallying together? The only sector that seems to be in trouble is equities in the Energy Sector – even though Oil is rallying? Very strange market – and at these valuations, a very dangerous market.
