Well, we've finally reached the end of an era. DecisionPoint.com will close its doors after our last reports today. You will have an opportunity to view the reports up until June 30th. At that time all subscriptions will be canceled...

The SPY made new, all-time highs today, but the S&P 500 did not. Since the S&P 500 is not adjusted for distributions, we will believe SPY, which is adjusted...

The last picks have been made. Thank you for the numerous symbol requests. The email group had plenty of symbols flying around and then I had two subscribers send separate requests. Two subscribers sent in UBER so I decided that I needed to cover that one...

Today Technology (XLK) triggered a Price Momentum Oscillator (PMO) BUY Signal. The PMO is flat above the signal line and that does imply pure strength. This breakout is a new all-time high for XLK. A few notes of caution need to be discussed...

I found today's results on the ETF scans very interesting. One of the themes was Financials with the SPDR XLF coming up as well as a leveraged ETF for Financials. There were others managed by different companies that were basically the same as XLF...

We suspected that today would be a positive trading day based on the ceasefire brokered between Israel and Iran. We were not disappointed with price gapping up on the open and continuing in a straightforward rising trend all day...

I didn't plan it this way, but it turns out all four of today's selections display reverse head and shoulders patterns. These bullish patterns tell us to expect lengthy breakouts the height of the pattern. I will say that they aren't the most reliable patterns...

It was a very interesting day of trading on the heels of the U.S. bombing of Iranian nuclear sites. As of publishing, there is a cease fire being worked out between Israel and Iran with the expectation of an end to the conflict...

Currently, Energy (XLE) is the only sector holding a rising Price Momentum Oscillator (PMO). The sector has been on fire as Crude Oil finally broke out. Overhead resistance isn't that far away for XLE or Crude so we have to wonder how much further it can go...

The spreadsheet could definitely look better. We had two stops hit yesterday on positions from last week. The market is weakening and that is going to put downside pressure on most positions. It may be wise to avoid the more aggressive growth stocks for now...

Today the Silver Cross Index (SCI) for the SP500 ($SPX) dropped beneath its signal line in a perilous drop. The SCI measures how many stocks have a 20-day EMA above the 50-day EMA...

We had one reader send in symbols, but I also have been paying attention to an email group that I am in and they have presented various symbols over this week. I have two from the reader's submission and one from the subscriber email group (EWZ)...

Yesterday the Dow (DIA) and SPY saw negative PMO Crossover SELL signals. Today, the SP100 (OEF) joined in with its own PMO Crossover SELL Signal. We still see a rising trend intact, but we do see a possible double top in the very short term...

It was an interesting ETF Day. The scans did not produce much at all, but what they did send was plenty of inverse ETFs for the major indexes. We could be a turning point in the market given the appearance of all of these inverse ETFs...

(Editor's note: Some of our data did not come in on time today. We will update the Total Volume later this evening when the data becomes available.) The Dow did rally today, but it wasn't enough to prevent today's negative crossover by the Price Momentum Oscillator (PMO)...

It occurred to me Sunday that we had a holiday on Thursday. That has changed the schedule for DP Diamonds slightly. I've moved up picks by one day so you'll four today, ETFs tomorrow and Reader Request Day will be Wednesday (get some symbols into the queue!)...

Today the Energy Sector ETF (XLE) 20-day EMA crossed up through the 50-day EMA (Silver Cross) generating an IT Trend Model BUY Signal. Middle East tensions pushed Crude much higher and this helped push XLE well above the 200-day EMA and resistance at the May top...

Well last week looks very good, but this week was basically a bust. We had only two positions finish positive. One was up over 9% so that was good, but I'm not happy with how "Diamonds in the Rough" reacted to this week's decline...
