And the beat goes on

  • Intel earning news killing tech.  Cisco, Microsoft, IBM, etc, etc, all down after market’s close.  Tomorrow’s opening likely to be worse. There could be some distressed buyers mid-morning.
  • Nothing, nothing is working. Gold, silver, oil, equities….all getting killed.
  • Is this the tipping point?  Will everyone, everyone finally give up?
  • Who w/b the brave one to step up here at these prices? Very tempting?  Said that last week.
  • Homeowners have lost trillions, equity holders have lost multiple trillions.
  • Buy and holders are finally giving up and bailing out at any price.
  • And the worst scenario: traders using charts believe that if the S&P drops below the lows of 848 we could be headed to 450-500.  It closed today at 852 but is way below that in after market.
  • A case can be made for the D word.  The government bailouts seem to mean nothing, nothing. That is the difference between 1929 and today; government intervention.  It doesn’t seem to matter.
  • Cash remains king.
