Tuesday Recap

Markets were bludgeoned Tuesday. No other way to put it. Volume expanded on both the Nazz and S&P 500 as both violated their 200 day MAs on big volume. Leading stocks have also made their presence felt. They are becoming a smaller bunch with each passing day. Today, the two leaders in the transport sector NSC KSU both gave up their 50 day MAs. Retail took a beating with COH plummeting on an earnings report. COH lost its 50 day MA in the process, and it took other leaders in the group with it. ANF BBBY M RL TIF UA also lost their 50 day MAs in sympathy. Chemical leader CE was brought down by weak earnings reports from WLK PPO which were both down 10% each today. Steel stocks are getting destroyed signaling a double dip? Who knows but MTL down 7%, MT 6%, X 4%. SDS which retook its 50 day MA last Friday on big volume is continuing higher. Today it stopped right at 200 day resistance. A move above that line tomorrow would be ominous indeed. Earnings reports tomorrow come from DVN KKR MOLX POL before the bell, and ATW CAR CXO CLR SOLR MTZ PXDSWI BID TRW WTI after the close.

Stocks that can be put on a watch list are: Cup with handles APC 85.20, RDSA 75.66, NTES 53.25. MSFT 28.25 in a double bottom with handle base. Might seem crazy to have stocks with these buy points, as I actually believe there is a lot more pain to come, but things can turn around very quickly.

Good luck.

We went into cash today as the 200 day MA on the S&P 500 was breached. Made a small gain in FCX WNR, small loss in WOR DE. Have to respect the action.
