AS I SEE IT: Poor market internals brought the market down today along with traders taking profits on long-term positions. Market internals have not been good 4 of the last 5 days, but it made no difference until today. Take a look at the ATM NUMBERS I send out before the market opens. Soaring Phoenix uses these numbers with our strategies to day-trade the market. This was a very good day for day-traders.
