EB Watch List Update Report
Good morning!
Market Update:
Currently, there's nothing technically healthy about this market with all of the major indexes giving up a lot of the early gains as they move into negative territory. Just like yesterday the VIX is higher as traders question whether the lows of the other day will do the trick. And now we're seeing traders are just as happy to take any profits on bounces. Right now the S&P is trading between its 50 day at 2946 and its 200 day, currently at 2803. Yesterday's low was 2856 so that is a level we should watch as a close below that level could lead to the next level of support near 2822. Bottom line at the moment: It's a very good time to lay low here. If you feel the need to trade perhaps consider fewer shares, tight stops. Be very selective. Take profits as they come along. Hold on to some cash in case things do get ugly.
