11:30 am : Stocks have taken a turn for the worse over the last 30 minutes, so much so that trading curbs on the NYSE have been triggered. Due in part to a sharp reversal in IBM (IBM 117.76 -0.34) and further deterioration in Exxon Mobil (88.26 -4.53), which is now down nearly 5%, the Dow has recently broken through its 50-day moving average (13589).
The Energy sector is now down more than 3% and Technology (-0.9%) is no longer showing signs of a turnaround anytime soon. The bloodletting in Financials (-2.7%), though, is really dragging down the market as investors continue to reprice risk due to growing concerns about mortgage lending and corporate borrowing. DJ30 -202.29 NASDAQ -44.61 SP500 -27.90 NASDAQ Dec/Adv/Vol 2362/501/1.03 bln NYSE Dec/Adv/Vol 2884/329/718 mln
The Financial Ninja is a collection of my thoughts and opinions about current economic and market conditions. These are not buy and sell recommendations. Use your head and do your own research. This is a forum to stimulate discussion and debate.
I started trading during the tech bubble when I was still in high school. My trading has financed my education and I have since completed a BA in Economics and an MBA with a concentration in Finance. I have worked as both a proprietary equity and fixed income derivatives trader.
