Noon Swoon

Fancy Way to Say: Midday Sell-off Whenever a sell-off occurs during the day's doldrums we've come to call it a noon swoon. It can however happen at any slow, midday hour, not just 12:00PM. These are tough to game as they usually come at a time of day when volume is thinnest. This presents the problem that they can end just as quickly as they began.
