Trade Ideas for 08/06/09

Some really weird stuff in the market today. The overall market was down, tech being one of the worst-hit, down 1%. But then on the other hand real estate and the financial sector made a beeline for the sky, up 3-1/2 to 4% today. Just a wacky divergence. Although the uptrend took a hit today, it could still go for one last run-up; sometimes it takes a while before a rally "realizes" it's over. Today marked 4 weeks of rally since the July lows, so timing-wise it's at the point where pullbacks materialize.

We bought QID today and lost TQNT and COF.
