Good morning.
The market can have small selloffs all the time, and often for seemingly no reason. Those drops help keep speculation in check, and help rotate from big winners to the next batch of stocks to lead the market higher. One risk that can warn of impending market danger is concentration.
If the market is rising and most stocks are going along for the ride, that’s a healthy move. When only a handful of stocks are moving the market, that’s a sign that things could get ugly. One sign of concentration can be seen in options volume. For July, just 5 big-tech stocks dominated a whopping 87 percent of options trades. That doesn’t mean a big market move down is likely, only that traders should be cautious and mindful of higher volatility.

Good morning.
Down 35 percent from recent highs, Bitcoin prices prove that volatility is the norm for the gold standard of crypto-currencies. A congressional hearing on Facebook’s pro-posed Libra currency this week hasn’t helped matters at all.
But while Bitcoin detractors win the occasional battle, the ‘supporters of cryptocurrency’ see nothing short of total victory. John McAfee, who once stated on Twitter that he will consume his … anatomy … if the currency is below $500,000 per token by the end of 2020, say he’s still positive that the currency may even be closer to $1 million per token by then.
Oh, and U.S. consumer debt recently hit $14 trillion!
Ouch! ;-(
