Wandering around. Or, as we say, a mixed market. Or, dazed and confused. Or............well, you get the picture. Dow down, Nasdaq Composite up, S&P up, traders attention span down. Seems the overall market averages are waiting for something but they don't know what. I personally like the term "rolling over" and since the robots, now fully in charge of the markets, have not seen a down market who knows what might happen. Since they can't "see", what if they confuse the bright sun and a clear day for a full moon on a dark night? Get my drift? Oh well, lets focus on the fintech sector for a few seconds. I use the NASDAQ
KFTX
(launched in July last year) to track the fintech sector via its 50 stocks, and the index closed at 1127.99 today, up just.40
(+0.04%
), In other words,FLAT
. Now with the big brother composite up nicely this would not seem to be a good fintech sector sign, right? Well yeah, right. So lets see which of the 50 stocks actually moved 2 points and/or 3% today.BOFI
-1.13 (26.95) -4.02%
FLT
-5.00 (152.50) -3.17%
HAWK
+2.50 (40.70) +6.54%
And that's the list for today. Some list, huh? Breadth? Advances 24, losers 23 and 'sit outs' 3. There are so many issues with only a couple of pennies change that the unchanged list is probably 5 times higher. Which means,BORING
.End of quarter in 2 days. Maybe markets just sit here. Not much to look forward too. Have a great evening.
