RMi outlines a daily bell ringing of “indications” about what you need to know; it’s what could happen or materialize after the opening and what might happen during the session.
Who is defining the metrics for investors and keeping you notified of the sector and market fluctuations? What I provide is a trusted source of share pricing intelligence – it’s more than opinion, I deal in the facts and numbers that back them up.
The 8:00 A.M., ET edition
Remember that overnight and pre-open actions in futures don't necessarily translate into actual trading in the coming day’s session.
Dow futures are DOWN -0.27% or (-85 points), S&P futures are DOWN -0.35% (-13 points) and NASDAQ futures are DOWN -0.47% (-0.55 points) early in the pre-open – so far,
U.S. equities futures were “floating” down on Wednesday,

.WARNING: “Earnings” will represent a VERY SAD picture of a company’s status without U.S investors and reliance on non-U.S. Chinese investors.
BSTG seems to always finagling a finagle and NOTHING is CLEAN and STRAIGHTFORWARD; is it the ONLY avenue to finance to utilize non-U.S. Chinese investors?
· WATCH and be ready for a BIG reverse of shares to enable offering from multiple private placements
The BOTTOM LINE: I try to keep it simple … and short, the title states my belief and actions!
BUILD CASH POSITIONS, the upward spiral will be STRIPPED, maybe NOT all today but, it’s coming.
Monday was a holiday, Tuesday opened positive after Friday’s positive close.
Still quoting a market strategist has sounded the alarm on more declines ahead for equities, with some suggesting the S&P 500 may plunge another 15%. <Matt Maley, equity strategist at Miller Tabak> "The thing is, people keep saying that the recession is getting priced into the stock market,” Maley said. “I think it’s just barely beginning to be priced in."
Be prepared, earnings or LPS (loss-per-share) sessions are on their way and many companies will be just as glad to get them out as fast-as-possible to re-set ANY trajectory in August for September. I read a heck of a lot of related material for my “Bottom Lines”.
Yet another economist Nouriel Roubini known as "Dr. Doom", said the US is headed for a recession that could send stocks falling another 50%. The S&P 500 just closed its worst first half of the year since 1970. "They will eventually wimp out and accept high inflation," Roubini predicted, referring to the Fed.
The ability to be aware is the point, not that everything will happen as “some, even me” predict".
There is VALUE out there however, it’s about playing or betting the timing of the sector.
We are left with choosing to hang on to “our” portfolio position as it is a given that the sector shifts from fierce, sudden sell-offs to gaining altitude or ascending not to its value but, better than it was.
