RE:Today sinking like a bottomless boatCould just be algorithmic selling since the technicals turned negative yesterday and the sp dropped below both the 10-day and 20-day moving average with today's opening. It looks like the selling is petering out now, but nobody expected the Titanic to sink so could still be further down to go.
Definitely not alot of love being dispensed to them at the moment. News of two "tough" upcoming quarters is scaring the short-term people out waiting for a better price to buy back in at. The average daily volume has almost tripled in December as compared to November. Not sure if that just shows more visibility and therefore more susceptibility to playing games, or whether it is a setup for something much better in the long run.
One of those days where you weigh the value of picking up shares that are "on sale" as compared to two months ago.
