Great post Clint, as I feel your frustration. I stopped out of some companies today I really like longterm- ADAP, DIGL, JDSU, RFMD and I'm sure my stops for QLGC, LDP, CNXT, etc.. will be hit tomorrow. There is no conviction in the markets anymore.

I would like to attribute today's selling to CNBC. All morning long CNBC (especially Tom Costello) was yammering about reducing tech exposure, how we have to retest last weeks lows, etc.. etc.. Hell the naz was green and looking ok when Costello started his rant (he must be loaded with Puts). But after enough negativity (several hours) and the low volume the sellers eventually won over. Then it just seems to snowball as CNBC keeps going on and on, no institutional buying, and the retail trader panics as he sees his neighbor is panicing (everyone's mind is still on last weeks selloff). It's ridiculous. I can't believe that I need to factor CNBC my buy/sells. Guess this is the new age markets.

Good luck.
