Quote for the Day:

Capitalism creates a wholly new terrain of social relations external to the local terrain and the particularities of personally mediated economic and social relations. It creates an extralocal medium of action constituted by a market process in which a multiplicity of anonymous buyers and sellers interrelate and by an expanding arena of political activity.

Dorothy E. Smith. The Everyday World as Problematic: A feminist sociology. Northeastern University Press. (c)1987.

I watch big blue chips, tech. Many hovering just above breakdown level. Intel INTC confirmed breakdown today. But Micron MU may hold support. Secondary stocks continue to fall. Mutual funds, indexed or managed, all hold the same 30 large caps. I think we're less than 1/2 way to the eventual bottom. Hedges are working for me, but not very well, and they need constant churning. While volatility is low there is always the threat of further downside. It's been a brutal 2 weeks. 350 points a day plunge.

NKE swing and a miss, down 12% after market. Major inventory buildup and lowered outlook for the rest of the year. Not a surprise to me. NKE has far too many styles, and that is expensive. I only see wide toe running shoes in Nike Air, the top of the line $$$ product. Why can't we have that in $65 shoes? So I think they've lost focus. And they are a harbinger of other consumers goods companies.
