Daily Report for Sat, Oct 25, 2008
How many took note of the -170 point drop in the DJIA in the closing 8 minutes on Friday? Do you think that is setting up a locked limit down in equity futures for Monday morning, or do you think it’s a set-up for a rally?
That’s something I will provide my views on tomorrow morning in the WIR.
In any case, don't miss the number of stocks that are presently in the Accumulation Zone waiting for Buy Alerts.
