The Chart of the Day is Hawaiian Holding (NASDAQ:HA).

The Dreadful Spread

There is a yawning gap taking place between high yield instruments (such as HYG and JNK) versus the equity market in general.

Our reason was that Twitter momentum was painting a negative divergence and we needed to see price shake out and create a positive divergence. Here’s the chart we posted on 10/13/14.
