AS I SEE IT: The market was lower in overnight trading and it continued to lose ground after the Retail Sales and the Empire State Mfg Survey. Then the market chopped back and forth holding support for the rest of the day. Buyers are losing money almost daily so the negativity is increasing rapidly.

In after hours trading the E-mini is down 14.50 points right now on the Intel earnings. If the S&P gaps lower in the morning it will be interesting to me to see how many traders throw in the towel.

I HOPE YOU MADE MONEY TODAY!

Have as much fun trading as I do!
