The past two days of selling have been stronger on the TSX than on the American Stock Markets. However 15000 on the TSX is at a point where many traders will be keen to try to place trades for quick profits. These traders are not concerned about whether the market will recover from this pullback. They are just seeking out a couple of days of bouncing stocks to add to their profits around the 100 day moving average.
The recent selling has created some interesting opportunities but with those opportunities there is always risk to capital being placed in a decline.
