FLASH: U.S. Equities Shit the Bed
After trying to pare some losses the market has begun to fall apart. DOW of 146 points currently….
Mid Morning Update
U.S. equities slid right from the open. The trough was not as bad as yesterday and we are beginning to pare our losses. For all intensive purposes the markets appear to have a bid under them as opposed to just out right buyers coming in.
Telecom and industrials are leading the downside in the U.S.
European markets did not seem to pare any losses. Brussels got hammered the most, Spain and Italy are in second place down 3+%, while Amsterdam, Russia, and the U.K. tie for third place being down 0.7-0.8%,

The Bears are Fucking Dead
After a horrendous morning the markets bounced off the 1340 support level in the S&P and made up most of the losses throughout the day. Being down over 2% in early trade a close of 1% or less was welcome news for the bulls.
Conglomerates, services, energy, and transportation were the worst performing sectors.
HEY SHORTS…YOUR FUCKING DEAD!
DOW down 101
S&P down 12
NASDAQ down 35
WTI $3.42
Gold down $6

Mid Morning Update
Accelerated selling came for U.S. equities right from the open. Traders noticed that the DAX or German market accelerated downside as U.S. equities opened. That was said to create forced selling. U.S. equities are off their lows, but still down about 1.4%.
Some expect selling to ease into the European close. We shall see.

The Oranges in Valencia Spain are No Longer Sweet for Investors
Valencia Spain is known for their orange groves, but this small provence or state in Spain spooked the markets yesterday as they asked for another bailout. Valencia needs to repay 2.85 billion Euros by year end. While that figure is small compared to all the other bailouts we hear about, it was enough to spook already on edge investors yesterday. Also it shows that despite the efforts of the ECB, investors are keen to the fact that no true solution is available for so many troubled debt laden countries in Europe.
