a bloodbath!!

I would hardly call this a selloff. 1%? I do agree that the turbulence in DC might fuel the correction I've been expecting...

Let me guess...it was a reverse rally ....

 

[dblshock]

it goes down abit quicker than up, if the rest of the week goes flat to down it starts to get juicy, bulls need a serious shake to start the stampede...today was an opening salvo.

 

[dblshock]

added another to my portfolio EXAS joined NFLX and AVXS.

 

[dblshock]

right now Asia in the toilet, day 2 for them, we'll see how smart these bulls are when S&P goes down 400 points.

Are you putting your money where your mouth is? Are you shorting the market? If not, why?

 

[dblshock]

trash talk aside, yes, short equities mentioned above mostly on valuation...expect a bounce up later today, Friday will be pivotal imo.

Down 85 pre-market this AM.

Who bought VIX last week?

 

[miden851]

I'm taking my winning stocks to the side for now, about 50%; the rest of my allocation is still in energy and retailers though

 

[Oldmoparguy1]

I added to 3 stocks this week, maybe should have waited, but the numbers were good.

 

[miden851]

Check $IMGN and its YTD!

October, 1987 was a bloodbath.

Other sell offs have been far worse.

1 or 2 % is just noise...

 

[Mr Nice]

Yeah nothing to worry about.

What started as a sell off, quickly became a bargain hunters friend. I personally added to 3 of my stocks. I keep some cash just for such times.

It amazes me how the financial media (like CNBC) spins normal market fluctuations.

IF MARKET UP 1%: They quietly say "The market rose 1% today..."
IF MARKET DOWN 0.5%: Headlines scream: "STOCKS CRUSHED!...STOCKS TUMBLE!..."

Well that was a nice head fake. Now I'm back to where I was on May 16th and also up a few dollars.
