Impressive retest of support & major reversal....NICE !!!

Indices were subjected to same old fear about Greece. S&P 500 refused to go below recent low, which triggered a major reversal on high volume.

Stocks which were UP 2% or more included LEN,LNKD,JCP,
FB,ZNGA,APKT,CLF,TCK,LULU,CMG,AAPL,MOS,GG,
SLW,BIDU,FNSR......

AH ER :

NTAP Down 16.77%

HPQ UP 9.01%

AH Futures Down

AH Asian Markets Mixed

AH Oil & Gold UP

About market, today was a classic example of NOT paying attention to day to day gyrations. I can assure you, that it is NOT the last "supercomputers driven DOWNdraft or UPdraft". Software is pre-programmed to trigger sell or buy IF certain numbers are the trigger point.So... show conviction & stay with stronger stocks.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.
