About market, IBD has changed its market outlook tonight to "market in correction". S&P 500 & Nasdaq both closed @ absolute low of the day, Dow closed few tick above low. TAPE had to endure many negative news whole day, PMI, Italian Election, Ben Bernanke Tuesday testimony & sequester...no wonder we collapsed with surprise on first two & tension about last two. I do not see any meaningful downside pressure. There is strong support around 1476. Now that S&P 500 has corrected 2.81% in two downside move, it may be time to start nibbling again, as FEAR is gripping TAPE as per VIX.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

  1. Hey Saleem,

    Took this opportunity to sell off FIO @ 15.71.

    Lots of stocks getting crushed today--I think margin clerks are at work...the CF and AXLL declines look really strange to me.

  2. Hey Saleem,

    I decided to use that weakness and pick up some more AXLL @ 52.47.

  4. Hi Stocktrader,

    USDA crop projection & price projection for corn is taking a toll on CF.
