THE USUAL CLOSE

Markets closed near the lows yet again as a late date push fizzled out - the SPX -7 and the NAZ 25.

Strongest sectors- banks, real estate and energy while biotech, telecom, metals, and utils lagged.

NYSE/NAZ 2500 net losers;

NDX - 15 GREEN;

OEX - 30 GREEN;

VIX- flat at 49.7;

Crude- holding up the energy stocks with a gain of $1.63 at $47.15;

Another awful day for equities as this market never seems to let any one sell on an up day - rare to find one-

RSI (2) levels under 15 on most indexes;

I guess Doug kass now officially wrong as the market didn't bottom three days from last Monday- tough to be the accurate - but why try?

Tomorrow the bulls can root for turnaround Tuesday - and Cramer - picking stocks for when the DJIA hits the 5,300 level- thanks.
