Not a Pretty Picture
As of this writing 6:53am EST we are seeing a boost in US equity futures and possible short term bottoms in Europe. Unfortunately, they are coming off EXTREMELY oversold markets. While any market bottom could lead to a new uptrend it is highly unlikely with the LACK...
Market Dives Hard Despite Debt Deal; Global Stocks in Serious Trouble
Our caution over the last few weeks has been warranted after these past two days. I'd love to say we are about to bounce and recover, but at this point all rallies will be sold into. The VIX moved 5% today, but the 5% came at the end of the day. The debt deal does...
