Top Trading Links: Investing Trends & Market Turns

This week saw stocks take a hit.

Most of the damage was done on Tuesday, but by week’s end the S&P 500 Index (INDEXSP:.INX) had fallen 1.5%.

At current levels, the S&P 500 is just 3 percent off all-time highs. The question here:  Is this just a run-of-the-mill 3 to 5 percent pullback?  Or something worse?

Slowing momentum has pointed to divergence for several days, so this pullback isn’t unexpected.  Bearish sentiment has perked up a bit (see: Twitter), but regardless, a healthy break was due.

This week’s set of links include macro research, investing trends, trading ideas, and some notable news.  Read up!
