GE under $9

  • Nothing could hold the sellers as most everything turns to red, led by tech.
  • Banks putting on a valiant fight but cannot figure out why government ownership is good for Citi.
  • Continue to pare down positions by selling IBM.
  • Thinking they go lower I added to TWM, the inverse ETF.
  • Traders are saying GE will lose it’s AAA rating as common ducks under $9/share.  Dividend reduction is next and could be a catalyst for further market erosion.
  • The lowest market forecast I have heard recently calls for the Dow to fall to 5300, a full 2000 points lower.  The forecaster is no fool, BTW.  That is pretty Draconian, I admit but I like the source.
  • I have tightened stops on remaining long positions.
