Markets plunged Wednesday as volume picked up. The losses were broad, and the market finished near session lows. No sector was immune. The Nasdaq finished clearly below its 200 day MA. The S&P 500 closed right upon that line of support. That 200 day MA is considered to be the long term trendline and a break below that line usually signals further weakness. More former leaders which charts look to have been broken today include EMN AGP COV EBAY NFX ADP CTSH. Economic news provided a perfect negative superfecta today. Housing data, CPI, Industrial Production, Empire State Index all disappointed. A silver lining to the days miserable action was sentiment among investment professionals. Bearish managers are rising quickly. A contrarian indicator can sometimes anticipate a market bottom. As always let the markets action and volume dictate your moves, and check your own opinion at the door. As I watch the market pundits on TV, a healthy majority are saying the market correction is over and its time to buy. Perhaps we are headed lower than we think! Thursday brings more economic reports with housing starts, jobless claims and the Philly Fed survey. PIR reports tomorrow morning, among the companies we follow.
