I don't recall which time I speculated it would turn, noon is probably correct.

Now pull up an intraday chart and look at the morning action. See how abrupt that drop was? Another sell off at noon was unlikely. What appears to have happened was the entire morning pattern of a selloff was compressed into 45 minutes much like the morning rally on Monday.

That is to say, if you are expecting a selloff and it happened so hard in such a short period of time you should be at the very least trailing a reasonable stop to protect profits.....in a day trading mode, anyway.

So what do you have for today?

My models think like I do, that is scary.

They are going from

14 Long, 3 Short, 4 flat

to

7 Long, 10 Short, 4 Flat

at today's close.

I've never never seen such a turnaround on one day. Must be something really out of whack in the variables I use.
