NASDAQ crash or just a correction?

Discuss. Index is down about 9% from peak today, 10% puts it in correction land.

You shorty?

Indices were up briefly, but no longer. Then again, indices aren't individual stocks.

I have 70% long term hold positions mainly in high yield electric and food stocks but 30% I play the field and yes I short when I see the opportunity.

It's all about researching the volatile stuff.

But today the ball is back in the upper stratosphere...the machines rule these days not humans.

It's a market cap weighted index. Netflix and ebay are down sharply after hours, index will be down if it were to reopen right now.

I am a market buyer on weakness generally

Disagree. Opposing high-frequency trades tend to cancel each other out. Also, the machines are programmed by humans. In the end, the humans still rule.

It can't go up forever, looks like a good chance to buy might be coming up.
