Indices down .82% to .94%.....

Indices are having European "spasm" again, only four years into this "known" ailment.


S&P 500 closed @ 1338.31


RSI @ 46.06


Internals were :


Down volume led by 3.79 to 1 in NYSE & 3.40 to 1 in Nasdaq


Declining stocks led by 2.90 to 1 in NYSE & 2.62 to 1 in Nasdaq


New 52 wk low were leading by 4 in NYSE & 95 in Nasdaq


VIX jumped 9.94% @ 20.47


Oil closed @ $88.50


Gold closed @ $1576.20


AH ER :


BRCM UP 1.56%


PNRA UP 7.03%


NFLX Down 16.66%


BWLD Down 15.53%


AAPL Down 5.52%


AH Futures Down


AH Asian Markets Down


AH Oil Down


AH Gold UP


About market, AAPL is going to inflict a blow to market & sentiment. AAPL earning report was a huge miss six months ahead of iPhone 5 launch, this is not normal & is more a reflection of saturation. 5.52% drop AH defies logic as AAPL got everything below expectations by a wide margin. IBD has changed its opinion again to "Market In Correction". In my guess work, Wednesday may give us a "perfect V bottom".

Hey Saleem,

I'm considering selling 25% of the hedge on a gap down tomorrow. At that point, we'd be pretty oversold.

Hi Stocktrader,

"oversold" maybe the biggest "understatement" for Wed market.

AAPL may give us "solid bottom".

Hey Saleem,

Finally two days in a row my portfolio is working! I was up ~0.9% yesterday, and working on another 0.6% gain today. The good stocks are doing well (PANW and NOW up both days nicely for instance) and the hedges are protecting against the market.

I didn't make any moves today to unwind as it seemed to be working fine. I expected some strength today (and we will likely get stronger still!), but tomorrow will be a better indication of whether this is a trading bottom or real bottom.
