Stocks in Trouble…and It’s Not Over
By George Leong, B.Comm. for Profit Confidential
The signs point to more troubles ahead. The stock market is in bear market territory for small-caps with the collapse on Thursday. There were several technical breaks materializing on the broad-based heavy selling. The small-cap Russell 2000 is a mess, down 17.89% this year and 25.46% from its 52-week high.

And not only is Apple the biggest, but it also leading the technology pack with innovation and a desire to be the world’s dominant company.

We continue to get lackluster news on employment, housing and consumer prices, but the stock market seems to be moving beyond the bad news. Institutional investors are focused on stability with the sovereign debt issue in Europe and the upcoming third-quarter earnings season.
