Be Your Own Motivation

Good morning folks, 
The Fed wound up being a non event while the oil inventory report did not stop oil from climbing higher for a 5th consecutive day. Oil is flirting with crossing 50 dollars a barrel but it wouldn't be a huge surprise if it took a pause here. The dollar had an indecision day along with gold and the mining ETF's. 

The IBB is managing to hold onto a potentially key technical area of price support. However we have several small Biotech companies reporting missed primary endpoints this morning JNP, EARS,CERU. The risks associated with holding small biotechs overnight are well demonstrated there and I hope none of you are impacted from those events.

Retail pulled back a bit yesterday after some earnings disappointments. WMT reported better than expected numbers this morning and raised guidance which could help give the sector a bounce. 
    
the SMH, SPY and NASDAQ continue to hold up in nice consolidation patterns.
