Indices down .60% to .88%, a surprising down day ?

S&P 500 went to 1247.61 @ low of the day. S&P 500 is down the most.

This weakness is extremely surprising for me, after Italy & Greece are on side.

Maybe HFT with their black box have other agenda ?

Internals are negative by 3 to 1

Oil Down $1.12

Gold Down $8.50

Canadian $ Down 64 tick @ 98.32

VIX UP 6.86% @ 32.10

Portfolio is BIDU,LVS,MS,PCLN,RVBD.....

@ 2.08 following are green :

PCLN,BIDU,LVS,RVBD,AMZN,CLF,WYNN,
APKT,MPEL,VMW,FFIV,QCOM,GOOG,CRM,
JDSU,CIEN,ARUN,FMCN,SINA,PWRD.....

  2. Saleem,

    This morning I heard some news in regards to Spain before I left for an early flight. Basically, they said the risk premium has reached higher. Therefore the treasury is paying higher in interest > 6%. May be this is the reason. Greece, Italy, and now Spain.

    I bought LVS at 47.

  3. Hi C,

    IF there is a rally & a breakout MS should be more than OK.....

    The reason i was asking about AAPL option expiry & strike..it tends to lose $ for $ in downtrend & also gains $ for $ in Uptrend....

    You have 5 weeks to see how it goes.......

  4. Hi Michael,

    I was hoping that we have discounted all this bond yield movements......

    Hopefully, we should move higher this week....

    Good luck with LVS, behaving well in a down day.
