Another week begins



Good morning folks,
If you watched my video this weekend you may have noticed a hint of pessimism. That was my interpretation of what I saw as I went through my scans. The markets are dynamic and my opinion could very well change by the end of this week. For now I continue to be very cautious limiting my  overnight exposure. 
The market doesn't have to have a sharp decline or a sharp increase, it could digest the huge run it has had through time. In that scenario we would be looking at choppy directionless action which can be frustrating for momentum traders. There has been a good amount of of merger and acquisition activity lately and that could be a good thing for the markets. Look for sympathy plays, companies that could benefit or be hurt from a merger.  

Morning movers and other stocks that caught my eye
