On AMEX - KRY sp a touch down with an upgrade to Mr(1)400 yesterday. No action for first five minutes. SP even at this time. Unfortunately, no follow up in volume after opening the week somewhat strong, likely from fresh spec players and the Market conditions. Technicals, well, fuhgedaboudit.

S&P and Dow futures saying some continued downside for today. Some reversal at this time from bargain hunters. Coming to you from my chicken coup and sticking my head out to see technicals showing the 14 and 50 day cross into Bear territory. OBV looks strong from last few days of trading. But, will continue to sit this out in the henhouse. World events in the middle east have Syria, as well as a bus explosion in Jeruselum joining in on the troubles. Japan reporting radiation in some food and water supply in the Fukushima area. Marines have reached and brought relief to some of the remote areas hit by the tsunami (See OT posts). BofA wants to increase dividend and Fed balks. New home sales reporting today also may not help. Stay diversified and do dd in all choices as the Market is news driven and anything could happen.

Gold is up. Reversed yesterday. Did a rest at about 1429 then opened saw some up action midway through HK session which is continuing through London and into the US Market and tapping on 1435. Currently about $1433.

World markets - Nikkei, NSI, DAX and FTSE down overnight.
