S&P 500 undercuts old low AGAIN by 10.08 points or 1.04% ???

Markets are still showing fear & lack of confidence as margin calls are enforced on a daily basis because we closed LOWER & going to NEW LOWS daily.....lows begets more margin calls for hedge funds & retail.....

This vicious cycle of selling will stop only when we close HIGHER.......Could today be the first day of closing higher...remains to be seen.....

The good news is that Techs,Solar ,Ag,Medical Device maker have found support and are hungry to go higher even in bad tape......so it IS a stock pickers market from hereon.......pay attention to TAPE NOT indices....IGNORE CNBC pundits sell,sell,sell mantra...it IS buy,buy,buy NOW......

In my portfolio :

Added more SOL..cost went down to $12.05

PHM Down 52 cents

RIMM UP $3.25 cents

SOL Up 25 cents

@ 11.50 AM the following are green in my watch list :

AAPL,POT,BRC,JNPR,STP,JASO,WFR,V,CCJ,JRCC,
WYNN,NDAQ,MA,BIDU,SOHU,SPWR,FSLR,ISRG,
SNE,GOOG,FWLT,CSIQ,AGU,QLD,DUG,IPI,LDK,
SNDK.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

Thanks, you too.

Not sure if this is the end. A down spike will trip many margin calls leading to further downside risk. On a normal correction, this would be past the point of oversold. But this is not a normal time period. The elimination of the uptick rule by special interests last year was a very bad decision. Now there are no checks and balances. We could be at 8000 by Friday afternoon.

Have a great day!
