OPENING HYPE


The early morning strength in the futures on the heels of the good news out of GE is being met not so surprisingly with selling. The DJIA +81, NAZ +13 and SPX +5.


Strongest sectors- emerging markets, semis, internets, tech, defense and trannies while telecom, biotech, airlines, utils and small caps lag.


Key stocks- generally higher led by ICE TIF GE RIMM NYX NVDSA MTW and POT while UA ISRG CELG BG IBB C KO PG are lower.


NYSE- 325 net winners;

NAZ- FLAT;

NDX-65 WINNERS;

OEX- 60 WINNERS;

IBD 100-70 WINNERS;


VIX- losing about 5% of yesterday's big move higher;


10 year Bond- 3.66%;


Michigan Confidence 80.5 v 74.5 consensus;


The morning rally so far- unimpressive at best as their is very little breadth.


Technically, the market is clearly stretched to the downside as the SPX is about 8% below the 50 SMA. Haven't seen it that far away in either direction in several years.
