Disney, GE, Home Depot, 3M, Procter & Gamble, United Technologies, Verizon, Walmart and ExxonMobil all set new year-to-date lows Friday, with GE and Walmart in definitive bear market territory.
The picture is so dire that only five of the big stocks have managed to stay out of correction, including Apple, Cisco, Intel, Nike and Visa
Opinion
Market yet to bottom out. Likely test of all recent indices low with Nasdaq likely to take the bigger brunt
Unlikely to enter bear market at this point, more likely in 12-24 months or at worst the earliest Oct-Nov18
