One day downturn is nothing. Unless you're a daytrader ;)
But I take it you're new and looking for an entry point to the market. Congratulations! Today is a great day to buy buy buy. Think of it as a SALE!
Learn what makes a good company then buy them. Avoid starting off with penny stocks and hot tips if you're just starting to invest.
Best wishes,

The rumor is that it was weak retail sales that brought the market down. Tomorrow there will be another explanation for whatever happens in the market. If you have a long time to invest, ten years or more, I wouldnt worry about day to day fluctuations. |

FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS
The wild bull shakes it's rider off at last today as the Dow tumbles 147.74 points in a single day today, shedding off 1.11% and 5 days of gains. In fact, this is the hardest single day drop since 13 March. Well, like I have said, the longer the rally, the harder the fall... looks like it is happening at last. US trade deficit opening to a 4 years high along with import prices rising 1.3% due to a weakening dollar has once again brought inflation fears to the front stage. The earnings season is also coming to an end. With no more explosive earnings to cheer investors onwards, it may be hard for this rally to continue. This may be the correction which so many have speculated about for so long.
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
The Staircase formation in the Dow is shattered at last with the Dow hitting the ultimatum level which I set 2 days ago. My trend indicator has also indicated a definite shift in short term trend to bearish. These are definite signs that the correction that I am anticipating is here at last. I took the opportunity to take profits off the table today but not shorting the market... yet. This is because the long term bullish trend still remains intact, for now, and I would see a possible rebound at the 13000 level.

On the rocks

Same store sales at retailers went down (in some cases 14+%). There are a couple of issues that make this a possible opportunity or a drop in the market.
Last year retail sales were very strong so compared to last year the last two months were weak, this points to a decline in consumer spending which leads to lower profits which leads to lower stock prices . . .
The shopping season was more compressed this year and weather has not been exceptional, keeping shoppers out of stores in April.
With the market having been on a run up many people took this opportunity to take profits or prevent further losses.
Some of the big losers in same store sales ARO,ANF actually were up sharply today - probably as a result of people closing out short positions.
Many of the retailers report earnings next week and the market could fall back if a majority of retailers report a fall in earnings because of a cutback in consumer spending.
If you are looking at buying into an index fund, the sp500 is reaching alltime highs. I would look at the earnings from retail stores next week to see if the market will continue its bull run or drop back into the arms of the bear before jumping into any investments!
Good luck! |

Because it was going up so high lately. I'll have to check and see if something major happened to cause it to go down. Otherwise, it just went down for the day! |

Just place a Stop at 10% and you will be fine.
If the market crashes you will only lose 10% of your money.
The Stock Market is very scary but if you don't invest in the stock market you won't have at least $1,000,000.00 USD by the time you need to retire.
If you need some help I can manage your stocks for FREE.
I suggest a brokerage account at Zecco. (It's FREE)
I am a Portfolio Manager.
I asume you have less than $25,000.00 USD. |
