MIDDAY MUSE

Markets are trading a bit higher but off their best levels- - I suspect prices would be higher without the action in the dollar which is up .7% - NAZ leading along with DJIA while SPX lagging at +.66.

NYSE- 220 net losers;

NAZ- 500 net winners;

SPX - 260 GREEN;

NDX- 61 GREEN;

VIX- down 1.5% at 23.8.

TRIN- 1.16- with down volume slightly greater than up.

WINNERS- TXN IBM LMT ETR CVX INTC NTAP LRCX ALTR BIDU ESRX ISRG;

LOSERS- INFY YHOO WYNN ROST STLD S NYX HAL NOV COP AXP DVN COF FDX NKE;

Gold down about $10 on the dollar action.

Looks to be a choppy day - but next week could find a move above recent highs if the dollar doesnt start to move up -
