Thanks @shovel40, @Fiji1 and morning crew.
Half-time wrap:
The share market revisited Monday's two-month low after selling resumed on Wall Street overnight.
The ASX 200 reached mid-session 24 points or 0.31% lower at 7676 after dipping briefly below Monday's close of 7649.6.
Mining and property stocks accounted for much of the weakness. Havens included banks, Santos, CSL and the major supermarkets.
US stocks opened strong overnight and finished weak in a sign the recent market turmoil may not be over. The S&P 500 closed 0.77% in the red after earlier gaining as much as 1.73%.
In Asia, Japan's Nikkei 225 index overcame early weakness to edge up 0.17% towards a third day of gains. The Asia Dow dropped 0.17%.
Personal trading: Caught ADT near the low for a quick early win. Been closing out Monday's panic-low buys for a mix of skinny profits and skinny losses. No longer confident that markets have put in a sustainable bottom, so the original reason for buying is invalid. If in doubt, sell. Also had dabs at PGY and OSL.
