Another good time to buy NYX

NYX dropped precipitously after the market drop on Tuesday, February 28, 2007. The DOW dropped nearly 500 points at the lowest part of the day mostly due to concerns of a slowing economy in China and also some economic concerns in the US. The day was also marked by a sudden 200 point caused by a delay in the Dow Jones calculations that was corrected abruptly. This was a problem with the Dow Jones calculation of the DJIA and not a problem with the New York Stock Exchange. The stock is down sharply to 84 after rising to a level of 95 in the last week. The stock should correct back towards the low 90s in the next couple of weeks. No other significant news has been present.

Looking at the charts, the stock moves rapidly up when it starts to approach its lower Bollinger band. This has happened a few times in the last year.

After dipping to 450, Google (GOOG) appears to be heading back towards its 50 day moving average of 478. At least two times in the last year, it has dipped significantly below its 50 day moving average and returned to the average within 2 months.
