    Good morning! 

    Watch out for the irrational exuberance in the Futures.  So what, C had nice earnings?  That's not enough but monkey-boy Cramer is in a suit and pumping his heart out so let's wait and see what happens when there's real action before we call it anything but a blip!  

    Watch those MoMos – if they can't keep it going, I doubt the broader market will.  And, of course, watch those weak bounce lines.  Anything less than that is…. weak.

    NYSE/Button – Thanks!  

    JNJ/Louis – I am leaning towards selling but I'd still like to see what they do first.  When I said I want to wait until next week on Friday, I didn't mean 9:39 on Monday morning…

    CNBC is spinning their asses off – makes me really nervous the way they are digging for a bullish take on every shred of news.  Take Retail Sales, for example, you would think we won the superbowl off these numbers:

     
    • Mar. Retail Sales: +1.1% vs. +1.0% expected, +0.7% prior (revised).
    • Ex-auto +0.7% vs. +0.5% expected, +0.3% prior.

    If you look closely at the report, March gasoline sales were up 12.5% as prices shot up and, of course, ex-auto, that $5Bn difference adds 1.6% to the entire report.  We KNOW it wasn't demand-based, because we pay attention to the inventory reports and that means that retail sales, are in fact NEGATIVE and not at all the home run CNBC and the other promotional media outlets would have you believe.  

    Don't take any wooden nickels!
