Futures are taking a big hit because China says we are in for " chronic recession" .. That's some profound talk from China.
Why do people always think that the news controlls the market? The market is falling because more people want out than in, and one of the lowest total index options put/call ratios in the last 3 years registered last Friday. I'm short the Russell 2000 futures because (1st and most important) that's how price is trending and my background analysis supports it.
That's a Chinese leader making noises about having a dollar fire sale... China is not in great shape, they have stagflation. You bet they are going to "focus on internal problems".
