Opportunity Buffet Part 2

With 88 stocks down 4% or more, there is lot to keep short sellers busy. However in spite of weak action the market is not yet in confirmed bear move, so chances of getting squeezed or getting shaken continue to be higher.

Bears have shown inability to press their case time after time in this rally. It is again looking same at this juncture. When downside moves start, there is urgency to get out and one tends to find a cluster of 200 plus 4 % plus down days in a short span of time. That typically indicate professional and fund selling. That kind of behavior is lacking in this weak action. So this t this stage looks like a range forming for probable next up move.
