AS I SEE IT: The market had to deal with the Durable Goods Orders and the assassination of Benazir Bhutto at about the same time this morning. Without normal volume the path of least resistance was down. It attempted two small rallies mid-day but when those failed it put in the low for the day. There was a small rally into the close.
For me the first resistance in the S&P will be in the 1500.00 area with first support down in the 1475 area. Volume is still light but it was better today than yesterday. I’ll be following the Soaring
I HOPE YOU HAD A PROFITABLE TRADING DAY!
There is a reason some traders don’t have as much fun trading as I do!
