Overnight/Asaenz – Are you saying you were so bullish that you lost 5% on a down 2% day and you want to risk going down another 5% in the hopes we get a 1% bounce and then you’ll "only" be down 2.5%? So you want to risk another 5% in hopes of gaining 2.5%, right? What happens if you are down 10%? As long as you have a good plan for that, I guess it’s fine to go for double or almost nothing…
Meanwhile, bulls can be encouraged by the Dollar not popping 74.75 but if your entire market premise is based on the Dollar staying weak – you have a VERY dangerous position!
3:00 PMOn the hour: Dow -1.78%. 10-yr +0.57%. Euro -0.16% vs. dollar. Crude -2.39% to $100.25. Gold +0.67% to $1547.10.
After providing big returns coming out of the financial crisis, the smart money at hedge funds is now moving out of "hated" bank stocks, with particularly heavy selling in Citigroup (C), BofA (BAC) and Huntington (HBAN). "Banks are macro plays on the economy," one analyst says. "As the economy starts to hit a softer patch, those types of investments become less attractive."
