CLOSING LULL

Markets close the day lower except for the tech heavy NAZ which closes higher on the heals of some nice moves in GOOG AAPL AMZN and RIMM.

Strongest sectors were gaming (MGM+5.7%, LVS +2.3%), airlines, tech, internets, semis, defense and large cap growth while homies, oil service, metals reits and brokers lagged.

Market internals were weak all day with 1,000 net losers on the NYSE and 470 net red on the NAZ.

NDX with 40 winners and OEX with less than 30 winners.
