AFTERNOON TRADE


Not quite the close but my take is the markets are still a bit skittish as some selling has reappeared in the final hour. In addition, crummy action in the big banks as BAC C MTB WB WFC are all lower while the XLF trades flat. Brokers/xchanges generally higher led by GS CME BEN TROW ICE NYX NMX.


Strong sectors- China, internets, emerging markets, tech, oils, biotech and growth stocks while homies, banks, real estate, retail and drugs lag.


Key stocks generally higher (30 out of 40) led by BIDU GRMN POT AMZN ICE APPL KLAC CELG- lower are UA GE TIF C COST MGM BAC MER LVS BG WYNN;



NYSE internals +650;

NAZ internals +590;

OEX 65 WINNERS;
