Markets continued their bearish behavior Wednesday, opening upon their highs and closing upon their lows. The Nazz led the way down, finishing lower by 2.2%. The S&P 500 was down 2.1%. If there was a sliver lining, volume was weak. But I remember a quote by a salty trader, "you can go broke on low volume." The Nasdaq once again ran into 50 day resistance Wednesday. The SDS reclaimed its 50 day MA today. Markets may be on the verge of entering bear market territory, (our overseas counterparts started the week off well into bear market mode with Russia down 31%, Brazil and India down 30%, Germany down 26%, China 25%), but certain stocks here at home are well into bear markets of their own. Examples of stocks that have been cut in half, without the benefit of a stock split, are CLF AA MCP BTU WLL X RVBD. Commodities were killed today with Dr. Copper leading the way. Both FCX SCCO were slashed by 7%. Oil was down 4%, gold 2%. Ags continued to fall with the likes of AGU POT MON lower by 5%. MOS was lower by 2%, as of this writing on earnings after the close. The SMH lost its 50 day MA today, and after the close AMD, almost an irrelevant semi, cut 3rd quarter numbers. Earnings reports are quiet Thursday.
