AS I SEE IT: The market has been overbought for quite sometime and today some of that overbought condition was relieved. The market traded through the short-term support prices and continued on lower. Now we’ll see if this is just a needed correction or something bigger. There wasn’t anybody getting run over at the door today, so we’ll see what the next day or two brings. A correction will be good for this market.

Day-trading was very good in the E-mini S&P, Oil, Grains, and the Gold market today.

You can have as much fun trading as I do.
