Monday review

Total bloodbath.  SPX down 6.5%

Glad I stayed out of the market.  Gold and treasuries basically the only two things up.  Financials got smoked with BAC and C down 20%. XLF down 9.5%.

The levels I was looking at this morning: 1168, 1150, and 1129.  Once we broke 1150 I tweeted about the lack of support below and half joked we would test 1129.  We not only tested it, we semi crashed through it, hitting a 1119 low.  This move felt like the capitulation everyone was waiting for so I expected the start of a relief rally.  We bounced hard only to be met by more very aggressive selling, closing at the low of the day.
