It also had a hard landing with the shredded paper base of torn BUY and SELL tickets
Maybe, I should switch the spinning wheel at least investors can hold on
It's a daunting task to understand risk, seeing the unforeseen; on the basis of my own “rules”, I set-up my own “warning analysis” which isn’t machine oriented!
I make a commitment to provide need-to-know “facts in evidence” as equity’s volatility is one tactical signal for stocks.
Dow futures are DOWN -0.36% (-93 points), S&P futures are DOWN -0.32% (-9 points) and NASDAQ futures are also DOWN -0.40% (-31 points)
Futures are looking down to a lower market open as markets are driven by US – China tariff and trade hostilities;
European stocks traded lower after the U.S. yield curve inversion deepened to levels not seen since 2007, reigniting fears of an impending recession as the pan-European Stoxx 600 slipped -0.4% in early trade;
Asia Pacific stocks struggled for direction as investors watch US Treasury yields
Henry’omics:
As fluctuation affect futures, I get even more cautious and nervous about “our” universe of cell and gene therapy equities.
The “dog” days of August are biting … head to a longer, long weekend early! Sectors and markets always rebound – let them!
Any other time, I would BUY on the dip; this time - I say let the dip get corrected by trading i.e. machines and algorithms.
From Tuesday’s evening post, “when one side of the seesaw empties, the other drops like a stone. The Dow, S&P and NASDAQ dived after Monday’s jive; investors need to remain cautious despite Monday’s strong performance given the low volume and breadth metric. Where are the sector’s headlines, PR/IR is thoroughly lacking; who and what can fight this flight – nada, nothing?”
• The NASDAQ was down -26.79 or -0.34% to 7,826.95;
• The IBB closed down -0.91% while the XBI also closed down -1.60%;
• The close was negative with an A/D Line of 8/33 and 2 flat and 2 acquired;
• The range of the 8 upside was +0.37% (ONCE) to +5.88% (BLCM) while the 33 downside ranged from -0.04% (ALNY) to -7.86% (ONVO);
• 2 out of the 8 upside had higher than the 3 month average volume;
• 8 out of the 33 downside had higher than the 3 month average volume;
In August there has been 11 negative and 8 positive closes
