Indices closed ABOVE lows of the day....

Indices went in freefall in late afternoon.

But buyers stepped in again giving some lift to markets.

Indices closed down 3.19% to 3.25%

S&P 500 low today was 1114.22, but we closed @ 1129.56

Internals of the market were as follows :

Down volume led by 19.74 to 1 in NYSE & 12.22 to 1 in Nasdaq

Declining stocks led by 7.79 to 1 in NYSE & 5.64 to 1 in Nasdaq

New 52 wk lows were 758 in NYSE & 564 in Nasdaq...this stat is extreme, sign of capitulation ?

Many stocks are deeply oversold, thus are attractive buys. S&P 500 RSI is @ 38.07 which is an oversold indicator.It is important NOT to worry about positions in deep RED, but to evaluate IF it is the stock to keep or else switch it with better performing stocks.....plan AHEAD NOT look behind....I NEVER worry about what went WRONG but strategies to move AHEAD....NOBODY bats 100%, 55% is good enough in this extremely volatile market....

Oil Closed @ $80.51

Gold closed @ $1741.70

AH Futures UP

AH Asian Markets Down

AH Oil & Gold UP

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi C,

Thanks for your feedback about my health....it is getting better for sure....

Medicine are costly...for two of us we spend about $5,000 in a year.

Looks like another test of support is coming..currently S&P future is @ 1114.....

BIDU has been a major disappointment..do not why it is falling apart..next support is $114 to $117..currently its above...BUT it has broken its long term UPTREND line..which is @ $131.22 ????

Hey Saleem,

I am tempted to sell something to get some RVBD. What do you think of it here (20.75)?

Hi Stocktrader,

My preference is APKT.

stocktrader_1996 said...

Hey Saleem,

Hmmm...I always struggle with APKT's valuation, but it's good they rely on telco spending which is still rocking versus RVBD's government component.

Additionally, I'd probably have to sell either AAPL or VMW to finance (to keep my sector concentrations the same). Do you feel that kind of swap is worthwhile?

Thanks!

Hi Stocktrader,

Keep AAPL which has momentum.

Hey Saleem,

The market tempts you in so many ways...I'm trying to figure out if I'm excited about establishing a AUY position as it nears the 200 DMA here. With margins on these companies still so tremendous here (cash costs <$500/oz), the decline has got to be overdone?

Stocktrader

Hey Saleem,

I just realized that the CME will likely raise margin requirements again due to this kind of move--maybe I'll look again on Monday. Also, maybe FCX is a better pro-economy play given copper is getting tossed out in the same way yet you still get FCX's gold exposure?

Hi Stocktrader,

AUY is getting very attractive.

Waiting till Monday is wise for your pick...

Saleem,

I will wait till Monday to double down on AUY. Do you know any reason that KGC behaves a lot better than AUY? Thanks.

Michael

Hi Michael,

KGC & AUY are maintaining their prices on a comparative basis...both are down..but AUY is higher beta..thus down more & UP more....
