How’s that for a confusing post title? Anyway, I am so short, I could jump off a dime, and I am merely adding to positions. The latest of the emerging markets ETF, symbol EEM, which is approaching a gap-fill as well as the underside of a trendline.

I have only two small screens today, not my usual eight large screens, but even in these primitive conditions, I am loving what I am seeing. Blood, chaos, and crumbling stock prices everywhere. Keep this up for a few years, and I can find my bliss. I’ll mention one stock in particular (which I’ve pointed out many, many times both here and on TT) – CREE – that has fulfilled its destiny of closing its gap.

Pandora’s earnings have rolled out, and as I’m typing this, the stock is down a little more than 8% (around where I’ve put the tint). It’s a very toppy pattern, and I’d say odds are good it’s going to keep tumbling until that gap (pointed out with an arrow) is filled.

I first started mentioning McDermott International (MDR) eleven months ago when it was about a $10 stock. It has been a bumpy right up and down since then, but on the whole, it has moved lower. As I’m typing this, it’s down about 6%, and I continue to feel that, ultimately, it’s going to be a lot lower.
