The equity indexes continue to make relatively large swings with higher than usual intraday volatility.

I'm beginning to think that this consolidation is just that, a consolidation prior to pushing to new highs. I don't think that I've been able to pick up a magazine or a newspaper without reading an article about "how to prepare for the sell-off in stocks" or "what to expect on the way back down" or something along those lines. If everyone is thinking the same thing, it's usually a good bet that the opposite will come true.

In other markets, we saw a renewed sell-off in the Metals, and bonds continue to mark time. The dollar showed some strength against both the Yen and the Euro, and the grains slid a bit on the back of a favorable grain report.

Our TNR model netted a grand total of $151 on 5 trades... not spectacular, but with these wide swings, our stops seem to be getting hit sooner than the market can turn around. Tomorrow we are again calling for a reversion day in both markets.
