Markets just careened lower today, in enormous volume. Was it capitulation? Doubtful. Did not feel much like panic, and we had no upside reversal. The Nazz lost more than 5%, its worst single day loss in over 2 1/2 years. The indexes are now in correction mode, literally. The Nazz is 11.5% off its 52 week high, the S&P 500 is now more than 12% off its 52 week high. Today's horrendous tape, left both indexes negative for the year now. The S&P 500 is down 4.6%, the Nazz 3.6%, since January 1st. Some former leaders that were damaged today included FOSL, which lost its 50 day MA for the first time since January. TPX plunged 9%, undercutting its 50 day MA today. ROC, a chemical leader lost its 50 day and 10% today. UNP tumbled 6%, losing its 200 day MA in the process. OPEN, underwent a 2/1 stock split apparently. Oops, its a mirage. Its just been cut in half since hitting its all time high 4/25. Cash and caution are the words of the day. Not much in the way of earnings of companies we follow tomorrow. Of course we have the big employment number tomorrow at 830am.
