The dead cat bounce was eaten by the dogs of the dow. <VBG>

Don, it's fairly obvious now that the market has hit an intermediate top at least. WFR is now trading nicely below book value and no doubt will offer a great buying opportunity to those smart enough to buy at the lows.

But the market is now in retreat mode. Selling that has not yet been rewarded with a huge spike in the VIX, nor more bears than bulls in the the Investors Intelligence Poll.

We could get a playable bounce any time now but a better buying opportunity will become present after the VIX really flies higher and meaningful sentiment goes negative.

90% of all stocks fall in a bear market.

If that happens WFR may not even be the best buy in the group.

JMHO, RtS

One the oldest adages of Wall Street, buy a company when the stock price is below their cash on hand.

According to the last website I looked at WFR has $1.62/share in cash. Stock price hit $1.64 today.

"No Brainer" if you can stomach this market, imo.

This bodes well for AMAT's solar business

WFR is cheaper than a PowerBall ticket.
It was also very beaten down 12-13 yrs. ago.
iirc, <$3 then. Took years to rebound.

If you play it now be prepared to hold 'til 2020,
or whenever the next Solar panel subsidies
come along.
