OPENING BULL

Markets open slightly higher with small caps, semis and metals leading/ retailers and biotechs lagging.

Market internals are green on the NYSE with 800 issues higher (helped by fixed income equities as the ten year trades higher) and plus 325 on the NAZ.

On the NAZ 100, about 70 issues trading higher and 30 lower with INFY SNDK CHRW JOYG and KLAC acting best while ROST VRTX RIMM CELG and AMZN act the worst.

Checking the SPX 100, 70 are higher and 30 lower with TXN AA COP INTC and GS leading while LTD EP MMM MSFT DIS and ATI act the worst.

GOOG AAPL MS KLAC all green.

The opening pivot trade is looking good as the DJIA Futures are now trading +25 and about 10 below the pivot target. Also looks like the markets want to go higher.
