On NYSE - Little bit o' pop to open, touching four bits. Now running around 0.44-0.45, and will likely continue to do so until the offering is consumed and closed. But, lets take a look at the technicals anyway - Daily all bottomed and flat. Although... Daily OBV showing a hint of accumulation for all of last week, Hmmmmmm... 60min technicals are seeing the BB constricting together since June 11 into a very, very narrow channel. Maybe some news coming? Oh, the meeting this week. That's the ticket.

S&P500 looking pretty good. If the upside continues, today would be the fifth day in a row. Five is a fib number - may be a change coming late today or tomorrow, so be aware. Hey, how about that AIPC. Have recommended it here before as a recession-proof stock. Has been up since, and Way Up today - better than 25% on takeover news, so hope some of you are benefitting. Most all recess-proofers are up, Banks looking good, Gold Miners flat to down although FCX (mostly copper) is up big, Oilers are up a touch, except for BP which is down big - again.

Gold getting a spanking at this time. Pretty big dump at the end of the noon-time hour. Maybe a teenie or two, too many... Anyway, GLD showing the lower BB at about 120, so should stabilize Gold above $1200, or better, for today.
