Stocks showing weakness include: BIDU which now looks broken. Another down day in big volume. AEM plunged 6% in huge volume undercutting its 50 day MA. Reits SPG, VNO PSA continue to perform poorly. LVS @46 VIT@36, can both be shorted there as they move back to their 50 day MAs which could now be resistance.

Good luck.
