About market, today's technical breakdown is a major setback. It is NEVER good that technical backdrop is WEAK. Now market is vulnerable to any negative news flow. Even IF we cross back above 50 DMA, it may not be as healthy in the short term. Please do not be too aggressive, until market is FIRMLY above 50 DMA for several weeks. We need base building again & many positive news flow for weeks.Extreme volatility is back.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

FCX was pounded by CNBC talking heads
They said China was the culprit.
