Market selloff will stop when the 'smart money' quits selling | Michael Santoli - Yahoo Finance
Here is a great article explaining the reasons for the recent stock market sell-off. Big institutions are basically taking profits. You have also probably noticed multiple tops in the major stock market indexes. We don't have enough buyers to push the market higher. That may change after stocks fall 8 to 10 %.
The good news in this article is that the economy is actually okay. So, we are probably experiencing a large pullback rather than a beginning bear market. The challenge will be knowing where the bottom of the sell-off is. When $NYMO, the McClellan Oscillator, gets to -80, that might be the bottom. It is currently -48.

10 signs that a bear is stalking the market- MSN Money
10 signs that a bear is stalking the market- MSN Money
This is an excellent article by Jim Cramer about bear signs. It is possible that we will get an oversold bounce on Monday, though. $NYMO, the McClellan Oscillator is at -48, and a rally will certainly take place soon especially if it goes all the way to -80. However, the stock market will continue to ratchet down for the near future. You will have to take profits on short-lived rallies.
Jim thinks earnings will be terrible, and the stock market bull is out of gas for going higher. Also, China and Japan are not doing well. This situation will pull down the whole global economy including us. Our economy is actually doing pretty good right now, but the fact that "good news" is being dismissed means there is a lot of fear in the market, and that is why stocks will keep going down.

Tesla Motors Inc (TSLA) news: GM's Ignition Vs. Tesla's Titanium And 'Befuddling' Peak Deliveries - Seeking Alpha
Tesla Motors Inc (TSLA) news: GM's Ignition Vs. Tesla's Titanium And 'Befuddling' Peak Deliveries - Seeking Alpha
Here is a great article on why Tesla (TSLA) is a buy when the price is in the low $200 range. The author states that Tesla most likely will meet or beat their earnings guidance. There is also no other electric vehicle that can beat Tesla on distance range before a recharge is necessary. The company also has excellent service support. I own shares of Tesla and will buy more shares on significant pullbacks. Tesla can probably gain more than 30% each year.

ETFs: Comparing The Incomparables, A Second Time [ProShares UltraPro QQQ ETF] - Seeking Alpha
ETFs: Comparing The Incomparables, A Second Time [ProShares UltraPro QQQ ETF] - Seeking Alpha
This is an outstanding article by Peter Way about how to gain money through popular ETFs. Whether we are at a stock market top or not, we will always have oversold situations after a few big days of sell-offs. That is the time to buy momentum ETFs that formerly lead the market, like TQQQ, the Nasdaq leveraged ETF, TNA, the small cap leveraged ETF, and FAS, the financial stocks 3X ETF. Peter maintains you can make 110% per year if you trade these stocks correctly. You must sell when you have a profit, though, and hold the cash for the next sell-off opportunity.
Small caps and the Nasdaq 100 are still the innovators. TSLA is another stock to buy when it pulls back near its 50-day line. You could have a core holding of future multi-bagger stocks, but use some of your shares for trading. If you can make 10% on trading 10 times each year, you will have made 100% on that portion of your money. Virtually every month gives us a chance to buy low, and we can sell some shares when the market gets overbought again so that we are always making money in the present time rather than waiting for a future payout.

Dow Theory Signal Questions Bullish Economic And Market Trends - Seeking Alpha
Dow Theory Signal Questions Bullish Economic And Market Trends - Seeking Alpha
Chris Ciovacco has written another excellent article on how to determine which way the stock market is going. He presented a 50-day chart of the Dow Jones showing a flat 50-day line, and cases where this occurred previously in 2011 and 2008 resulted in large stock market declines. Whenever Chris turns cautious and Jim Cramer turns bearish, I will follow their lead and reduce my long positions while buying more TVIX, the volatility index ETF, for downside protection.

Tesla Motors Inc (TSLA) news: Tesla - Driven By Noise, But High-Quality Noise - Seeking Alpha
This is a very good article about ways to possibly value Tesla (TSLA). I own the stock myself, and it is not for the faint of heart. The author makes it clear that Tesla is far beyond the realm of good value currently, but if you look at the company's revenue acceleration, Tesla is a good stock to buy. Nobody knows how far Tesla can go. Stocks are usually bought on the basis of growing future earnings, and Tesla is a long way from reaching mature stock status where earnings go flat. So, you will probably be able to make money on Tesla if you buy it on pullbacks, but due diligence must be done to determine where good buying prices are located. You might try the 50-day or 100-day moving average lines for buying. You must also consider what the stock market in general is doing. In the event of a market crash, story stocks like Tesla will be sold first, and you will need to sit on the sidelines for a while.

Republic Wireless
Republic Wireless
As I occasionally do, I will talk about subjects other than stocks. Republic Wireless seems to be a worthwhile cheap phone carrier. To simplify things, you buy your phone outright at the start. Then, you pay a low monthly fee based on what you want for the phone. If you just want Wifi internet, voice calls, and texting, you can get it for just $10 per month. If you want 3G internet anywhere as well as the first three choices, you pay $25 per month, and this is still very reasonable. If you want 4G, the price moves to $40. Most people would not be able to tell the difference between 3G and 4G data transfers. So, I think the $25 plan is the best. Then, if you want a backup second phone just for calling, pay another $10 and you have all the bases covered.
