About market, TAPE was under severe selling pressure taking all indices to lowest level close of 2015. 200 DMA is where all indices are sitting below, not a pretty picture. Internals had the feel of total capitulation. We may turn UP after 11 AM once margin calls are squared away. IF you have the will to buy bargain, we may have seen that already, we are all set to rebound, China Flash PMI notwithstanding.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

Well...they finally started coming after the stocks I'd been hiding in this summer. I didn't want to make any panic moves yesterday (although should have!), and with the opening prices of these stocks this morning, I think I'm stuck waiting this out now. I might slice off some of my lower beta exposure to raise cash for something really fast like a NFLX when the bottom is in.

Hi Saleem,

Sold NEM @ 18.489

I feel like a gold play has served its purpose for now.
