    The volatility isn’t done yet it seems like :p More volatility could be here to stay due to interest rates starting to go higher now. Global markets kept going down while we hit the new ATH, I guess the divergence can’t go on forever :p

    XHB hit another 52 lows :eek: Actually I don’t mind a little bit of slowdown in the housing market, prices have gotten so high that a lot of people can’t afford buying houses here. I am in Hawaii though, affordability could be better in the mainland :p

    I haven't entered again. I want something closer to 2750. It only hit 2755. After that, a nice pop up would be nice. We'll see. POST COMMENT #1 = I want one more push to the 2750 level and then I can enter. I don't want to "chase"

    Ok. So, based on the close today, we might have a chance to enter around or non-above 2750 tomorrow. It may gap up as well. It's hard to say in this "mid-level" of a very broad range. But, if it does collapse to that 2750 or non-above level, I am buying more [long].

    I have been holding myself from adding to my position in Ford - waiting for the ER on 10/24 to see if there is a possibility of a turnaround in near future.

    I'm thinking the semis are going to be easier to trade on the way down, than up, moving forward.

    A lot of big tech earnings next week, and maybe they can lift the NASDAQ a little bit if the earnings are good. Tech is looking a little vulnerable now especially if interest rates continue to move higher.
