You know its bad out there when you do a Google search for " the market shit the bed again " and you find recent multiple postings using that exact phrase - but what else can you say these days ? That pretty well sums it up!

I took a look at all the sector indices - all down -and all the global international market indices - all down

Maybe capitulation is when we all agree the market has shit the bed and we just can't take it any more !

I have to believe there are greener pastures out their and I do . I think that in spite the recent drop in oil prices we will still move ahead with green technologies if we want to fight and live another day! We need to think past today and tomorrow and towards the next generation. Green technology, healthcare will create opportunities for innovation leaders.

So trade for today- invest for tomorrow ....
