What journalism on CNBC! I think Pissant is wearing one of Maria's thongs...and we all know "two thongs" don't make a right! (But three left turns do!)
I can't believe the cheerleading and bullish spin I just heard on CNBC. Pissant pointed out, foolishly, that "just 3 stocks account for 1/3rd of the DJIA 260pt drop" implying that the audience shouldn't worry. He failed to point out that such imbalances always occurred on the way up. Moreover, he didn't state the fact that only 4 of 30 stocks were up contributing just 10 positive index points!
What balance! Look at this for balance: NYSE AMEX NASDAQ B.Board Advancing Issues 689 138 1,122 639 Declining Issues 2,382 402 2,828 992 Unchanged Issues 421 159 658 597 Total Issues 3492 699 4608 2228 Dec/Adv. 3.5 2.9 2.5 1.6 New Highs 13 5 45 32 New Lows 512 57 226 98 NL/NH 39.4 11.4 5.0 3.1
