$ Rome Wasn't Burnt in a Day

Jeff Cooper's Daily Market Report
The market has experienced one of the great panics in history.

$ Buzz & Banter - Reason For Treason

Smita Sadana
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 Alert - Adding a Big Blue Chip

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.
