Came within a few pennies of Sept 3 recent high after ramping nonstop from 10/15, was a natural spot for the long machines to take profits and reshort for a pullback. Or . . . will they fool us and race back to the highs after Yellen whispers sweet nothings? Or, could she surprise with another smackdown, so they're running for cover, as a teenager with firecrackers might upon seeing his/her parents' minivan coming around the corner ??
Well of course. For the record, you should be running around flapping your wings all of the time. Unless Gold SURGES 1/5 of a %. Then you should add screaming to your funning around and flapping.
Not big enough to be eligible for government bail-outs in the coming downturn. Plus, of course, we'd prefer that small companies not even exist. Much better to have the government do it or at least a large company that's well connected to government.
It's because of oil. If the idea is oil is going lower due to slower global growth, then small caps would be most sensitive to that. Time to buy TZA for a trade.
RUT used to be less susceptible to manipulation than the other indexes because it represents 2000 stocks. not that long ago you could play the market (up or down) by watching RUT, however, I don't know if that's valid anymore with QE infinity and the take over by the machines.
Liquidity rules here....or aapl
What the hell's been going on with Apple? Is there any news?
DavidC
They sell something called the I Phones
Apple decided to stop selling iPhones and now sells gay accessories.
Do you mean purses and gloves
or dildos and handcuffs ?
Leather accessories to go with the new iHamster.
Tell us how your iCornhole is working out... ;)
Flight to safety
I bet Gruber rolls over red all the time.

I'm no expert chart reader, but it looks like the Russell 2000 has nosedived one tenth of one percent.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. I always enjoy leaning something new.
Or should I be running around in circles flapping my arms in panic?
Well of course. For the record, you should be running around flapping your wings all of the time. Unless Gold SURGES 1/5 of a %. Then you should add screaming to your funning around and flapping.
You're wrong... it's clearly two tenths of one percent. Commence flapping.
... no share buybacks

"Would you also like to know When I Knew It ."
Small Caps
You assume that there is a real market...
FAIL.
Over/Under on official .gov announcement that certain companies stocks are 'too big to fail'?
small cap oilers?

There is no spoon.
One word....OBAMACARE
Profit taking. A close above 1180 will resume the trend.
Call the waaambulance for the investors.
That half of them will never make money.
