Because Netflix is the leader, it has the most to lose, and now we are going to start seeing pretty steady data points coming out from all of the other streaming services, it still seems to be a tough story for Netflix.

The Fed pivoted so abruptly, which gives one pause about what they're saying about the economy, flat to falling interest rates are not good news for bank interest margins. It's not surprising that analysts are taking down earnings estimates.

There seems to be a plethora of negative news regarding the global economy and China and the corporate profits that were reported today couldn't offset that, a lot of companies are coming out with earnings this week, so it's going to be a battle between earnings and the perception of what's going on China and the global market.
