I looked at Winn Dixie (WINN) stock and the pattern is very similar the the S&P 500, which is over bought. WINN is just following the overall market. The market is undergoing a trend change and is expected to continue down and may even test the March low. Now is the time to short the market or buy put options, or an inverse ETF( which also shorts it's underlying index of stocks).

Some of the reasons are:

Purchasing power has come down
Higher unemployment
