Partner Headlines

I have sold my short term index-longs that I bought during this morning's dip. Semi Holders (SMH), up at only 1% worries me. This might be an indication that the market is in the process of exhausting its short-term fire power.

SMH has been quite oversold, down almost 15% while S&P 500 declined 11% from 8/28 to 9/16 (see chart). It also showed some signs of accumulation in the last few days and this weakness is very suspicious.

FlexFolio by Quint Tatro

I'm adding this blue chip because it is presenting excellent risk reward after the recent slide and I believe any bounce we see in the market will be seen in this stock as well.
