UGLY CLOSE

The general rule, markets that are weak all day tend to close at/near their lows and that proved to be true again today as the DJIA closed down 360+ while the SPX was down 40 and under its 50 day SMA (1,512). Far and away the worst performing major index was the RUT, down almost 4%.

All the DJIA components down except for the next GOOG, yes MSFT.

All the major sectors ugly with oil service, biotechs, defense, semis, large growth and drugs the best of the bad while banks, financials, brokers, homies, real estate and reits the worst of the bad.

Ags hit especially hard with ADM AGU BG CAT CNH DE MON MTW POT all crushed. Gaming also way down as WYNN/LVS lose another 4/6%.

Interesting how listening to Madame Bartiromo is kind of comical- just the other day when the market was way up , how great the economy is, today, the market isn't going up until we get transparency on the financials. The quintessential traders thought process.

Realistically, expect the Fed to be back in the game lowering rates if the markets don't regain their footing shortly. And how about Barton Bigg's big prediction yesterday saying how the markets are going to rip higher into the end of the year because of under invested hedge funds. Maybe, but not starting today.

Finally, I look for markets to rebound regardless of the jobs number tomorrow.
