Green we own; blue we have owned or have discussed in the blog. Energy - what else, dominated. Fertilizer made a nice showing this week as well. We've got both those covered in spades. Again, as I've been repeating for a few weeks *if* this correction plays out as the past few - first will go will be the bad sectors (financials, retailers, homebuilders) as people realize a 2nd half recovery is not happening (that's been happening the past 2 weeks), then middle of the road sectors such as technology will begin to weaken (that finally happened late this week), then the generals/leaders get taken to the shed which for the better part of 2 years has been the commodities. And ironically hedge funds will rush back into the "bad sectors" right around this time since all of Uncle Ben's money has to flow somewhere. This is not to say it has to play out exactly the same this time around, but until a pattern breaks it is best to expect it to repeat - so for now, if the market does continue to break down I'd expect the generals to be taken out either this week or next. Which would be ironic in the face of $140 crude...

p.s. notice SandRidge (SD), which we highlighted in last week's top performer list, make yet another appearance?
