AFTERNOON DEAL

The markets continue to defy the internals by hanging near the flat line or just down a bit -

NYSE- ugly at 1800 net losers;

NAZ- 1070 net losers;

NDX/OEX - about 40 GREEN on both;

VIX- higher by 7.5%;

Gold up oil down EURO up;

Still not convinced we are going to close green or flat as those internals rarely lie-

The debate on the debate ended and it looks like the experienced guy blinked yet again;

Intrade with a 66% chance on a bailout deal by Tuesday- problem is we need a deal by Sunday night.
