From Helene’s latest column “Signs of Speculation With a 4 Billion Share Penny Stock Trading Frenzy“:
Back on May 6th, Nasdaq had 122 stocks making new lows. Tuesday, there were 279 stocks making new lows. So, under the surface, we’re seeing a reduction in stocks making new highs and an increase in those making new lows. Not exactly the healthiest market.

Up, down, up, down, up, down. (I counted at least three moves of 25 handles, while I was awake trading!)
The Spoos were more active than a bed bug last night — moving, in aggregate about one percent.
I traded $SPY and $QQQ profitably/aggressively but since they are closed out there is no need (or value) to recap the specific trades.
I approach evening trading opportunistically — and find a lot of inefficiencies, perhaps explaining why about one-third of my trading/investing is done in the after and pre markets.
I currently have no index positions.

Sure, the Nasdaq traded 15 billion shares. But the action was concentrated in the Semis, as expected, and a penny stock, not expected.
