THE CLOSE

Markets closed the day in the middle of the range and I will officially call it - a choppy day - although Dougie Kass seems to think he has been saved for another day with his Monday bottoma call.

NYSE- 800 net losers;

NAZ- flat internals;

NDX/OEX - about 50 green on each;

VIX- down 1.5% at 49.33- and trading near the 10 day SMA;

TRIN- .67 with down volume slightly beating the down;

Crude $45.85+2.25;

Gold $938+4.7;

Nice rally into the close which was probably lots of shorts covering for the big weekend announcements- not sure what folks are expecting but something -

RSI (2) levels near 25 on most major indexes.

Toasted GE from Clusterstock;

Its all about the daytrading for now - hopefully it changes soon- but for now happy daytrading to all.
