AS I SEE IT: There were two separate markets today. The Dow gained ground because IBM and a few other large cap stocks had big gains. The S&P fell about 8 points because of high Oil prices and poor Housing Starts on the open, but Oil traders took profits driving prices down over 1.50 a barrel at the low. As the Oil market fell the S&P rallied all the way back to yesterday’s close.

The S&P did come within .30 cents of filling the first gap under the market today. Market internals were not good again today, but when momentum turns up there are plenty of buyers to push prices higher.
