MARKET SUMMARY
- Market closes out 2015 lower, giving up early week gains.
- Indices still facing same resistance to start the new year.
- Chicago PMI really stinks the place up.
- Will funds go with 2015's leaders, chase beaten down areas, both, something else? We have a lot of plays ready, trying to cover the waterfront.
The stock market was more or less a wash last week with two upside sessions followed by two downside sessions that took that move away. That still left the indices, at least the large cap indices, in the upper half of their ranges of the past two months. The small and midcaps, well, they are still struggling below the 50 day MA, fading from that level Wednesday and Thursday.
Thus the week was somewhat of a wash in terms of the 2015 leaders on the large cap indices. GOOG, AMZN and others faded good moves early week, just as the indices. They are still in position to continue the move and continue leading IF the bids for them return in the new year.
That is the problem with a new year. You don't exactly know where the big money fund managers are going to put their money in the new year. Stick with old tried and true leaders from the prior year or put money into the beaten down areas that can provide a bigger percentage gain for the year. Of course that 'value' prospect can be horse hockey when you consider stocks such as FB, NFLX, GOOG, HD, NKE, PCLN, etc. that started 2015 already at fairly lofty levels and nonetheless led the stock market.
Of course if they are moving money into new areas, that often means they are taking it out of others. That can mean big shifts early in the year up and down as money is pulled and moved.
Thus, we have a lot of plays on the report, upside and downside, in stocks that show promise to move higher and lower early year. Some are 'turning the corner' off the lows, showing accumulation. You can see violent moves upside. Others have put in rounded tops and look ready to roll over if the money plug is pulled. Still others are already on the report and look nice after the Thursday close, e.g. AMZN.
These are plays that look as if they were setting up for the moves at year end. Doesn't mean the funds won't put money elsewhere and pull from other sectors. We will have to see what they do and move quickly to pick up positions in areas they are showing a lot of buying.
Another theme of the new year outside of what the funds do out of the gates is the economy. Thursday jobless claims jumped to 287K from 267K. Of course this number means very little, but it is noteworthy that the figure jumped so soon near Christmas.
Manufacturing continues to fade. The Chicago PMI was ugly.
Chicago PMI: 42.9 versus 50.1 expected versus 48.7. Supposed to rise back above contraction but dove massively lower. Lowest since July 2009. New Orders lowest since May 2009. Backlogs lowest since May 2009. Lots of 2009 references, back when the economy was in the toilet.

LEADERSHIP
Big Names: AMZN, GOOG tested their breaks higher, still in good position. NFLX broke lower, needs to hold. FB still solid.
Chips: Some breaks lower from SLAB, XLNX, and others are weaker, e.g. MLNX, ARMH.
China: Still one of the stronger groups, e.g. SOHU, NTES. Others are trying to turn back up, e.g. BITA.

VXN: 19.63; +0.75
VXO: 18.17; +1.24
Put/Call Ratio (CBOE): 1.04; +0.04
Recent history: 16 of 26 sessions above 1.0.
Bulls and Bears: The spread shows a familiar pattern in this market: bulls higher while bears rise as well. Of course after this past week bulls will tumble and bears will growl higher.
Bulls: 36.7 versus 37.8. Still rolling over rather hard.
Bears: 29.6 versus 29.6.
Theory: When everyone is bullish and has put all their capital to work, where does the ammunition to drive the market come from? There is always new money to start a new year. After that is used will more money be coming? That is the question.
Bulls: 36.7%
37.8% versus 44.9% versus 41.2% versus 45.4% versus 43.3% versus 45.3% versus 46.9% versus 43.7% versus 37.5% versus 36.5% versus 30.2% versus 24.7% versus 26.0% versus 26.8% versus 25.7% versus 27.8% versus 31.6% versus 37.7% versus 40.2% versus 42.2% versus 43.3% versus 49.0% versus 43.7% versus 44.8% versus 49.5
Background: Bulls hit their lowest level in 2015 since the 2008 and 2009 market plummet.
Bears: 29.6%
29.6% versus 27.6% versus 26.8% versus 26.8% versus 28.9% versus 28.1% versus 29.2% versus 31.3% versus 31.2% versus 34.4% versus 35.1% versus 30.2% versus 26.8% versus 27.9 versus 26.8% versus 22.5% versus 18.4% versus 18.6% versus 17.5% versus 17.5% versus 15.6% versus 15.6% versus 15.6% versus 15.4% versus 15.4% versus 16.5% versus 16.5% versus 15.8% versus 14.9% versus 15.8% versus 13.9%
Background: Over 35% for bears is the threshold to be really be a good upside indicator. The best indication is when bears cross up through bulls as the two merge. Both occurred in fall 2015.
