Financials and industrials are well worthy of your attention too – and clients know I have been talking discretionaries and retail names lately…

ADP employment change disappointed – stocks flushed with delay, and clients (all of them, swing and intraday) got in on the right side of market moves (ISM data confirmed the hesitant direction) – I can‘t stress how important it is to have access to my real-time information in the Trading (Stock) Signals & Intraday packages...
