Financials, SPX Fade on Weak Euro...Bonds Rise...

Eight sectors moved lower on Monday and XLV was unchanged.  Defensive sectors XLV, XLP and XLU were the strongest sectors. 

Money Flow
Euro     -44 pips         1.2997
TNX      -0.41               18.13
TLT     +1.55              123.87
XLF      -0.28               12.26
SPX    -14.31          1,205.35

SPY moved down -$1.30 on 183.5 million shares on Monday.

AAPL and PCLN moved higher on Monday.  AMZN BIDU, GOOG and QCOM moved lower. 

Breadth weakened as decliners led advancers 3.70 to 1 on the NYSE and 3.56 to 1 on the NASDAQ.

Exchange        NYSE        NASDAQ
Advancers          644             569
Decliners         2,386          2,026       

Monday’s Money Flow was in line as the Euro weakened and TNX, XLF and the SPX fell and bonds rose.  The VIX rose on Monday.

Stocks started the day higher and drifted lower for most of the day.  The SPX doubled its decline during the last hour of trading following a statement from the EU finance ministers that Euro-currency members agreed to provide additional bailout funding through the IMF.  A 150 billion Euros was short of the 200 billion Euros proposed at a Dec 9 EU summit.

The Euro did hold its 1.2943 – 1.3084 support area although it did move down 44 pips and as expected stocks drifted lower following Euro weakness.  Monday’s trading weakness appeared to be as much a function of fewer buyers around as prices drifted lower on relatively lighter volume.

While i certainly agree that it sucks to lose money, I find it hard to imagine that ANYONE could have missed all of the disclaimers that say, essentially, you're big boys and girls and it's your decision to lose real money if YOU decide to risk it. You have nobody to blame but yourself.

This coming from someone that is struggling to make more than I lose with this stuff. I am surprised at how elusive it is.
