Stretching Out Before a Run

pictures_of_the_day_7

Many market players seem to be inclined to look for a sharp, snapback rally in the tape.

But before that happens, we are seeing more stretching of marquee names to the downside. First and foremost, major casinos continue to stay quite weak, namely LVS MGM WYNN. Indeed, bottom-fishing these names has proved to be particularly ominous this autumn. Still, earnings are coming up, which is good enough reason to cover shorts and wait for a better short entry later this year, as I have seen no evidence of a major bottom in place.

In addition, marquee momentum leaders such as GOOG NFLX PCLN TSLA are also quite weak at the open, seeing me stay sidelined here, largely in cash.

On the Ebola front, of CMRX TKMR get going today I may take a stab on the long side.

All in all, this is a corrective market with risk remaining lower.

    Yep, there is also the risk that in the next week or two. We see a speedy downward woosh, a -500, -1000 day on DIA.
