Not looking pretty today... Ill probably be out to G or F either today or tomorrow. It would be nice to see at least a little upward movement and positive earnings. The earnings expectations have been set so low still and yet the numbers so far have remained below expectations... not a good sign.

On the other hand, today may be a buying opportunity day for India & China.

What is everyone's take on going I fund here?

This is insane!

I guess our leaders will say they didn't see S&P's comments coming? Will they look perplexed? Say they had no idea? Blame everyone else, especially our not too distant past leaders? Or will they threaten to regulate S&P out of business if they don't change their view and say everything is beautiful? You know the rating agencies won't be getting any love from DC for a while.

I really can't stand how one day can wipe out a week's worth of gains.

Flight: IMHO, my indicators for I [EFA] fund suggest that it is falling but neutral which does not have significant pressure [Momentum 98] to go up [RSI 49] against the trend and thus, may continue to go down. See 90 day [daily] MACD Histogram. 60% of the way there. Barring major extra-market forces, that is.
