    NASDAQ’s Mid-Year Rally Begins Early

    In the mid-1980s the market began to evolve into a tech-driven market and the market’s focus in early summer shifted to the outlook for second quarter earnings of technology companies. In anticipation of positive results, over the last three trading days of June and the first nine trading days in July, NASDAQ typically enjoys a rally. This 12-day run has been up 28 of the past 36 years with an average historical gain of 2.6%. This year the rally may have begun early and could last until on or around July 14.

    After the bursting of the tech bubble in 2000, NASDAQ’s mid-year rally had a spotty track record from 2002 until 2009 with three appearances and five no-shows in those years. However, it has been quite solid over the last eleven years, up ten times with a single mild 0.1% loss in 2015. Last year, NASDAQ advanced a solid 4.7% during the 12-day span.

    So June Swoon is over ?  

    We didn't really have much

    We didn't really have much of a June downturn given that we are at fresh highs...there is still some month left. The Nasdaq is pretty overdone now, guess it could go up but the risk/reward for new money isn't attractive. Good for long term assets at the moment. Like always, we will know when we know. I buy good weakness and sell into good strength. 

    Agreed, especially since the June

    Agreed, especially since the June week after expiration (this week) is supposed to be "horrendous" to use STA's term.

    SPX dip was pretty muted

    SPX dip was pretty muted too, just a quick 50 day touch, then gap city higher since then
