Casino & Gaming Stocks Tumble as Traders Continue to Sell (LVS, MGM, WYNN, more)
Stocks in the Casino & Gaming group are getting slammed today amid little fundamental news in the sector. Traders may be using Goldman Sachs' 2010 Lodging, Gaming, Restaurant & Leisure Conference, currently being held in New York City, as a "sell the news" event this afternoon.
Other than that, today's sectorwide decline simply looks like a continuation of Friday's move lower. As technicals have been dominating investor psychology recently, traders might look to such indicators as the 200- and 50- day moving averages, for example, to get a feel for where the market could be headed next.
Around the sector today:
It should be noted that the only company-specific news we have seen from the above stocks was a rating downgrade on Boyd from Moody's, however this downgrade was issued too late in the trading session to have affected any of the charts.
