Month End & Worries caused today's DROP !!!

Stock markets was weak today as some investors locked in their profits ahead of some data points & mildly OVERBOUGHT conditions.

Dow Down to 13063 -58.03 - .44%
S&P Down to 1482 -11.70 -.78%
Nasdaq down to 2525 -32.12 -1.26%

Dow showed the most resiliency after a phenomenal RUNUP.

As usual Nasdaq is showing relative weakness down almost TRIPLE of Dow.

Casino stocks were weak like LVS down $3.72 to $85.19 & MPEL down 51 cents to $17.42.

WFR continued its weakness down another $2.66 to $54.88.

GOOG down $7.63 to $471.38,RIMM down $3.17 to $131.58.

AAPL is showing relative strength down only .12 cents to $99.80.

Most stocks gave UP their gains by end of the day and ended in RED.

I took advantage of this sell off by buying STP @ $36.19.........which I had sold few days ago for $38.50.

The weakest stock in my portfolio was SIRF down $1.07 to $24.26.

Weakness in stocks or markets are viewed by me to improve the quality of my portfolio.I generally buy on weak days & sell on stronger days ...If I have profit in any of my position.....unless it is a core position for long term.

Good luck on your trades.
