Good morning folks,
We are flashing a bit of red again this morning after a choppy session yesterday. Greece is getting more coverage and there is growing concern that they could leave the Euro. Oil took a little breather and the recovered near the end of the day. It may just consolidate a bit before it makes its next move. Gold took a little hit yesterday but I would keep a close eye on it along with the NUGT GDX GDXJ keep in mind that they can be very volatile so do not chase them but keep them on your radar.
The indexes are overbought and they appear to be getting tired. Taking a defensive stance may be a good approach to take heading into the weekend.
FYI I had to bail on MNGA yesterday I tweeted out the news of the explosion at their facility the moment I saw it and sold the position. My prayers go out to those that were injured in the accident and their families. I will continue to watch the stock for further developments

|
| CNBC debuted 26 years ago today, and it's kind of amazing to look at how far the stock market can come. The Dow is up 674 percent; the S&P is up 598 percent; and the Nasdaq is up 1099 percent since April 17, 1989. |
| Besides those consumer inflation numbers at 8:30 a.m. ET, investors get two other key economic reports at 10 a.m. ET: The University of Michigan's preliminary April consumer sentiment index and the Conference Board's index of leading economic indicators for March. |
|

| STOCKS TO WATCH |
| |
|
| Mattel (MAT) reported a quarterly loss of 8 cents per share, a penny less than expected, and the toymaker's revenue beat forecasts for the first time in a year and a half. |
| Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) lost 9 cents per share for its latest quarter, 4 cents wider than analysts had anticipated, and revenue was also slightly short of estimates. |
|
| Manitowoc (MTW) said it would report a first quarter loss, with the company's food service segment being hurt by a cut in capital spending by large restaurant chains. |
|
| ASML (ASML) now has JPMorgan Chase (JPM) as a 5.35 percent stakeholder, according to Dutch regulators. JPM was required to disclose its holding in the chipmaker under Dutch rules because it reached the 5 percent threshold. |
