Sellers are control freaks.

There was carnage everywhere, but the biggest story has to be CFC. The nation's largest mortgage originator rumored to be going bankrupt. That'll have a few repercussions...

Volume on the NYSE was strong as we traded over 1.8 billion shares. Also, it should be noted that volume was running light in the morning when the market was flat to up... it really kicked in when the selling began.

Still, with that said, after 8 straight down days in the Nasdaq (the record is 14) you'd expect some type of "relief rally" soon. But with sentiment so negative, I kind of think a better name would be "suckers rally."

And no one wants to be the first sucker... so this could take awhile.

NOTE: I'm still trading on a simulated account.
