Stock Market update -Aug 6th

The DOW hit new all time high records all week, as the Small Caps (IWM) went in the opposite direction. A good Jobs report on Friday helped to keep the market up too. Earnings for most of the high profile names are now over (DIS & NVDA this week). Lets see what Aug and Sep bring. We've had an extended run, so maybe we take a pause here after earnings... VIX is at multi-year lows.

AAPL & TSLA popped on earnings. YELP yelped! TEVA cratered!
SNAP and APRN continued to drop

The Dollar continued to drop, and Oil and Gold rallied.

Pops:  AAPL, TSLA, GPRO, YELP, ILMN
Drops:  AAOI, TEVA, DDD

We surpassed the $20 Trillion debt level in February! See Debt Clock on the left...
