Summary

Well... for yours truly.. it has been one truly bizarre (in a good way) day...  but more on that later

As for equities, there sure are some interesting movers out there... not least in tech land, with IBM in trouble... and INTC an all out tech wreck.

yours... still watching the waves come in

4.38pm.. AAPL getting trash post earnings, -6% @ $121.... as future guidance/estimates are upsetting the market.

The earlier bearish engulfing candle was indeed an early warning.

So.. IBM whacked... now AAPL, who is next?
