THE CRUSH

Markets are way down as memories of 20 years back are fresh in traders minds. Well maybe not, but less than stellar news from CAT SLB MMM HON and WB are not sitting well and I suspect some loser selling by mutual funds also isn't helping.

Best of the bad sectors inlclude drugs, utils, banks, retail, airlines and biotech while oil service, china, semis, oils, emerging markets and internets are crushed.

Key stocks show three winners out of 40 led by ISRG NYX and GOOG while MTW NVDA CAT UA LVS CROX GS act the worst.

NYSE internals 1,900 net losers;

NAZ internals 1,500 net losers;

OEX -8 WINNERS;

NDX - 7 WINNERS;

IBD 100- 8 WINNERS;

Gainers- ISRG GOOG S INFY AMLN BIIB ESRX CKFR ABT PG AVP MRK CL CSC JPM T TRAK CRNT GMCR PDA CF;

Biggest Losers- OMCL SLB SLT SII TBSI EXM FTI FSTR ICOC SSRX NOV DRYS CNH HALL MMM HON COF BHI CAT GM F SNDK MICC RYAAY PCAR LOGI MNST BRCM;

Volatility indexes higher by 10% but hardly rip roaring the 20% number that we have seen on very ugly down days.
