I watch the index a lot closer now It was choppy today, but I noticed that the stock prices seem to track with a delay to the index. I buyinto a strong volume uptrend, but the index was in a dip. I bought, the stock tracked the down spike of the index. I am so gun shy now that I cut and run and some bounced back. The ones where I thought I would wait it out....I lost quite a bit. It's a dangerous dance for sure.
