If this keeps up our 2011 Shadowlist will look a Value Mutual Fund, so basically the market better ‘correct’ at some point to make ‘growth’ stocks look like values again.
Shadowlist
- Momentum/earnings/“winners of ‘10– VMW earnings were top line strong, but a few negatives (on margins and some cautious remarks) is enough disappointment for 2010 winners to come up for sale, particulary the ‘clould’ space. Even before the report the sector was flush with early selling in APKT RVBD CRM FFIV in a rallying market as investors have given up seemingly since FFIV report and instead flock to lower valuation tech earnings.
Shadowlist addition: A one time DJIM play returns off a record Q at~$20. (SILC)
