TIGER'S TAKE: A big let down for Carrizo shareholders as this could be considered a "take under". Carrizo is selling out at a low point. Maybe CPE will be worth a look. THE CHARTS: (NOTE: Charts are a good guide but when a tweet or news item can jerk the markets around, they mean a bit less.) The markets were slightly higher on Monday on low volume. On the chart, we are up at the new all-time highs. We now have a good support level at 290 and minor support at 295.CAUTION: The current setup looks like a possible pullback could take place. Weakness maybe possible as the Stochastics are high/overbought AND the last four days we have had declining volume. Also earnings season is starting and could cause a bit of volatility.The GOOD News: I expect if we have a pullback, that our support levels will hold. So we have supports at 295 and 290. The only point of resistance that could be considered is at the all-time highs. We will have to see if we can stay above 300. I would expect a retest of that level. The MACD is positive. The Stochastics are high/overbought. The Money Flow is positive. The 50-day MA (288.18)(+.22) and the 200-day MA (275.39)(+.07) On the 9-month chart below, the previous patterns are behind us. Shown now is the support level at 290 and the new minor support level 295.
