Chasing Dreams

Good morning folks, 
Hope you had a great long weekend. 
The markets are looking a bit flat this morning which is actually a good thing. It would be nice to see them consolidate for a bit before resuming its trend higher. We are still not completely out of the woods with Greece just yet, and we had one of the Fed members talking about removing the word patience and potentially raising the rate in June.  However,as I said in this weeks video> it is hard to deny the strength in the markets.

It is a lengthy video since it was my first weekend broadcast and I had a large list of stocks to watch from my weekend scans. You are able to skip forward if you just want to get to stocks to watch. I plan to do  a market recap and scan video @ 2 pm Vegas time each day. If want to be alerted whenever I go live hit the follow button  my Ticker Tv page.
