Blame it on CAT,HOUSING SLUMP & GOOG ........

Todays market turned sharply lower on a very bad ER from CAT......which nobody on wall street was ready for.......

Markets hates "surprise"....and CAT was a big one......

GOOG was already discounted...as markets worldwide were sharply UP........

10 yr Bond yield has slumped to 4.948 %...as it is a beneficiary of a flight to safety......as CAT is signalling a "slowdown in US economy"

Leading home builder is NOW PREDICTING...that housing SLUMP will not bottom out until end of 2008........another surprise for wall street & me.......as most were expecting bottom in housing by end of 2007.......

As I write this post @ 1105 AM.....Dow is down 127 and Nasdaq is down 28.......

SNDK which is currently Up $2.84...on many upgrades on targets & estimates.....rest of my portfolio is DOWN......

PMCS is also Up on strong earnings.......

AAPL is UP on increase price target ..a new 52 week HIGH....

Among the few green are :

SIRF,JNPR,ICE,CMED,CTRP,STX,LRCX,NVDA,MR,ISRG(great ER).

With all the "surprises" and OE....looks like a WEAK close today......

BLOG does not give buy or sell.
