5 Truths

Good morning folks,
So it was just your average 10000 point swing up and down in the Dow this week. Volatility is back and in a big way creating one of the best short term trading environments we have seen in quite awhile. 

Historically September and October are challenging months for the market and while there is no guarantee that the volatility is going to continue. I have been holding an above average level of cash at the close of each day while taking advantage of day trades like FCX and STXS yesterday.

It is too early to call a bottom on this selloff, bounces can last a weeks or even a month and there is still a lot of technical damage that needs to work itself out. 

Keep an eye on materials, metal, solar and the oil sectors. They could be stabilizing, Carl Icahn announced an 8 percent stake in FCX after the close.  The "smart" money has been dipping there toe in the beaten down sectors and at some point they will be in vogue once again but it could be another year or two.

Stocks on my radar premarket



Bullish and may have lottos in play

Cautiously optimistic

Very Cautious may even present a short opportunity
