AS I SEE IT: The E-mini S&P sold off a little at the regular trading session open but it only lasted for about an hour before it started to firm up and trade higher. From mid day on it traded sideways closing a little higher on light volume.

March E-mini S&P Resistance continues in the 1344.00 to 45 area with first support in the 1320.00 area. AIG was sharply lower on further credit reporting problems. There seems to be more to come on the downside of this market as new credit problems surface.

Have as much fun trading as I do!
