Down_arrow_red_2 There is a disturbing event happening, and it is one which if gets much worse will take out much of the feeling that the markets have bottomed out. Today the market index readings are challenging the lows from mid-October. Now the challenge comes to whether or not these hold the closing levels and the intra-day lows seen at the time as of 12:53 PM EST today.

S&P500 833.68 (-18.62; -2.18%)

S&P low close 848.92 (Oct. 27) & intra-day low 839.80 (Oct. 10)

DJIA 8,111.81 (-170.85; -2.06%)

DJIA low close was 8,175.77 (Oct. 27) & intra-day low was 7,773.71 (Oct. 10)

NASDAQ 1,451.90 (-47.31; -3.16%)

NASDAQ low close was 1,505.90 (Oct. 27) & intra-day low was 1,493.79 (Oct. 24)

DIAMONDS Trust ETF (NYSE: DIA), SPDRs (AMEX: SPY), and the PowerShares QQQ (NASDAQ: QQQQ) are the main ETFS’s which track these index levels, and all actually trailing in the volume severity sen with many such days.

Are You Still Paying With a Debit Card?

The average American spends $17,274 on debit cards a year, and it’s a HUGE mistake. First, debit cards don’t have the same fraud protections as credit cards. Once your money is gone, it’s gone. But more importantly you can actually get something back from this spending every time you swipe.

Issuers are handing out wild bonuses right now. With some you can earn up to 5% back on every purchase. That’s like getting a 5% discount on everything you buy!

Our top pick is kind of hard to imagine. Not only does it pay up to 5% back, it also includes a $200 cash back reward in the first six months, a 0% intro APR, and…. $0 annual fee. It’s quite literally free money for any one that uses a card regularly. Click here to learn more!
