Markets sunk Wednesday on renewed economic jitters and European concerns. The S&P 500 gave back almost of all Tuesdays gains falling 4.4%. The Nazz "outperformed" for the second straight day losing 4.1%. Volume was weaker than Tuesdays levels. Volatility remained high, as the Vix climbed over 22% on the day. On a miserable tape it often pays to watch stocks that demonstrate solid relative strength. Today those stocks were LULU FOSL CHD EL SODA TUP RL SINA JAZZ COG HFC WNR. If the market can regain its footing these may be the first to shoot higher out of the starting gate. That is a big if however. As we write futures are trading nicely higher. With the market in correction mode, buys remain risky at best. Today gold miners shined as the metal rose above $1800 an ounce for the first time. Banks were hit hard though with GS MS both down over 10%. Charts are busted up and could take weeks before the dust settles. For now see how individual stocks perform near their 50 and 200 day MAs. Cut losses quick and keep positions small and nimble. CSCO was up in after hours trading on earnings. Tomorrow earnings before the bell come from SODA EAT and after the close from DAR DV MCP JWN.

Good luck.
We bought some WNR today as it showed strength recapturing its 200 day MA today. And some FCX. Which was strong all day relatively speaking until that plummeting close.
The author owns WNR FCX.
