Nasdaq dipped to new low BUT Dow & S&P 500 ABOVE lows !!!!

Today was the-perfect storm for US markets......Asia tanked & Europe was down 6% to 9%....

We were limit down which was 5% on all indices......

Many commentators were predicting 10% meltdown...to STIR panic.....

As usual Bob Doll was CALM & said on CNBC before open that you do NOT sell on limit down days...and he was buying & encouraged buying.....also suggested to sell on big UP days.....

Art Cashin of UBS was the-most disappointed trader as he was ready for 10%++ drop.....I guess he does NOT control US market either.....

Nasdaq went down to 1493.79...new 52 week LOW...Nasdaq has been the-weakest index....thanks to jitter about consumer chip sales.....

Dow & S&P 500 stayed well ABOVE their 52 week lows...sign of markets showing individual strength....not interlinked to the same degree......

In my portfolio :

RIMM Down $1.64

UYG Down 59 cents

@ 11.59 AM following are green in my watch list :

GG,KGC,ABX,WFR,VAR,DUG,PHM,AMZN,LRCX,
QID,SDS,DXD.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Price of gas in DC broke $3.00 and dropping fast

Car traffic as well as noise is up again and Lots of traffic helicopters looking at out roads! a gas waster?

Stocks should have seen a bottm to day--they say when all the news in negative then the bottom --well, I am broke here and looking for a break-

Any one cash less??

Hi Madmax,

Thanks for you take. I have some cash left over for emergencies. Tons of paper losses,,,,,hopefully one day it will turn around,,,,until then better keep your day job.
ATL gas $2.49 dropping. Premium $2.99. Store prices on dry goods seems to be cracking too. We need a good relief rally! It will be here soon. Hang in there!!!!!!
