On the morning of August 5, the unwinding of the Yen carry trade accelerated, leading to a spike in the expected volatility index. Investors were selling and asking questions later.

It’s been a tough earnings season for tech stocks. However, few tech stocks can hold a candle to Intel’s (NASDAQ:INTC) horrendous post-earnings price performance.
