Markets Slide Into The Red For The Year



TradingMarkets just released a
proprietary stock rating method called
href=”https://tradingmarkets.com.site/powerratings”>color=#ff0000>Powercolor=#ff0000>Ratings. This method
ranks stocks 1-10 and the higher the rating, the greater the one-week historical
gain has been.


href=”https://tradingmarkets.com.site/powerratings”>color=#ff0000>Powercolor=#ff0000>Ratings were
created by Cesar Alvarez, Director of Research for Connors Capital, LLC. Cesar
looked back at more than 5.5 million trades between Jan 1, 1995 and Dec 1, 2005.
The results are based on the average 5-day performance.

Major indexes slide as New Year gains are lost;
Dow, S&P and Nasdaq all down over 1.5%.

Dow has biggest one day point loss since March 2003;
Nasdaq posts biggest loss since September 2003.


Missed earnings from GE and Citigroup, combined with a
four-month high in crude prices, lead to heavy selling across all three of the
major indices.
