Momentum Reversals

CREE is getting poleaxed in the after-hours.

Ladies and Gents,

Welcome to the third quarter earnings season. Expect to give back large swaths of gains, amidst vindictive earnings reports. Although the indices went higher today, under the thin veil of beauty laid an ugliness so horrible, so monstrous, the very idea of looking at it again might turn your warm, beating, hearts into rocks of salt.

PNRA down

YY down

YELP down

VECO down

NFLX down

DANG down

ADHD down

DQ down

BFR down

FANG down

CXO down

BNNY down

VEEV down

GOGO down

I can go on. You get the gist.

The fruits of un-labored fortunes can come to a brusque end with a snap of the finger. The hedonistic bullishness, the triple digit returns, that you’ve grown accustomed to can come to a screeching halt with sentiment. The market runs on confidence. Often times, during periods of excess, said confidence is held in overwhelming numbers, by people with small brains and shallow pockets, pikers mongering about like the trade-winds.

The strengths and greatest attributes of a bull market running off momentum can indeud become its albatross. Be on guard for reversals.

Top picks: AMBC, ALJ, BALT, JAZZ

    that 11am spike down was a street mugging/purse snatch.
