I bought some cheap Mar & Apr put spreads. Right now GOOG is around the intraday 50% retracement. Do not know which way it will move. Options are the safer way to swing trade.
11:00 am : Major indices spike lower, spearheaded by a blow to Technology following reports that Google's (GOOG 352.59 -37.78) CFO is saying they will have to find "other ways" to boost revenue as growth, now largely organic, is slowing. The stock, which holds the fourth heaviest weighting (3.61%) on the Nasdaq-100 index, was up 1.3% at the bottom of the hour but is now off nearly 10%.
GOOG's drop triggered indice selloff & sell programs across the board. It even triggered profit taking in Germany. DAX down 2%. What a mover!
