Midday Market Commentary For 06-11-2012
The ‘dippers’ put in some green volume about 10:30 but it was a weak event and the market bias continued to have a negative bias as it moves modestly lower with light to moderate volume. The trend is definitely bearish, but lacking conviction (low volume) it it time to sit on ones hands. If you didn’t go short on Friday you still may have time to sneak in a small but safe position. Market trading is not quite prime time just yet. Our positions in SQQQ (even) and SRTY (up 0.75) are safe for now. Tomorrow’s reporting could take the markets either way, but not as much up as any possible decent.
The European markets finished mixed as of the most recent closing prices. The DAX gained 0.17%, while the CAC 40 led the FTSE 100 lower. They fell 0.32% and 0.08% respectively.
