PreMarket Prep Recap, March 21: We Haven't Seen A 2% Correction Since The Election

Did you miss Tuesday's PreMarket Prep? Here are some of the highlights from today's show.

Key Technical Levels

  • General Mills GIS: Going long term, it has to retake $60, except for one blip to $58.70 in February, it has been in $60-$64 trading range for six months. It's now bearing down on the lower end of range.
  • Kellogg Company K: The long-term chart isn't pretty. It's been in a trading range since February 21 from $73.64-$75.21. Trade the range until it breaks up or down.
  • Canadian Solar Inc. CSIQ: It got a $1 bounce off of Monday's low. Let's see if it can get into Monday's range of $13.23-$13.55. The pre-market low of $12.40 is a safe number.

Gary Kaltbaum, the owner and president of Kaltbaum Capital Management, noted that we haven't had a 2 percent correction since the election.

"Welcome to a bull market," Kaltbaum said. "When they can't sell off, that is what bull markets are made of. The amazing thing is, I know there are a few areas in trouble...but overall they just cannot pull this thing down in any way, shape, or form. That leads me to the worry. When you get everybody thinking 'Oh, this is it. We're never going to correct, everything is great,' and then all of a sudden we finally get one, it unwinds what I call a one-sided trade. So just be on your guard."
