Momo Stocks Bloodied (DDD) (NFLX) (TSLA)

High-multiple momentum stocks continue to be under pressure Wednesday as investors take profits and trim exposure on this multiple-day trend.

It is unclear if the reaction is based on worries about an economic slowdown given the shutdown and debt ceiling fight, if it is a 'sell the news' reaction to Yellen's expected nomination as Fed Chairman, or something more sinister is at hand.
