Good Evening, Trade concerns continued to present a head wind for stocks today. Also weighing on the market was a ruling by the Supreme court that will allow states to collect sales tax from online vendors that sell in their states. Companies like Amazon and EBay where down on the news. All that stuff noted, the market really seemed to be engaged in normal trading for late June through August. After all, where did you think that old saying ‘sell in may and go away’ originated from in the first place? So I really won’t be surprise if we continue to thrash around like this until October or November. As usual, my goal for this season is to hang onto what I got and hopefully add just a little to it before things pick up again in late fall.
