Aching to go up

  • They want to take ’em up but don’t yet seem to have the muscle.  Dow up 90 but internals weak.  Zero new highs and over three-hundred new lows.  Volume pretty good at over 700 million at 1pm.
  • Gold getting whacked hard.  At $970/oz and looks like its headed to at least $950.  Scuttled my gold shares this morning and looking to get back in.
  • Autos and Trucks the best sector on the day.  That should tell you all there is needed to know about this confused market.
  • Bernanke testimony rallied things a bit but then petered out.
  • My guess?  Probably not much happening this afternoon as traders await clarification from the President this evening.
