The Durable goods numbers will help fuel the fire of the sellers, might get small bounce as traders could be short. But I expect the market to continue slipping today.

Oy VEY!.....that is what my Grandma Vena used to say when she could find no other words. This is an OY VEY market. Dow is down but probably wont stay down, not after the huge growth in durable orders. We did have a few important companies miss their earnings projections. Bonds are still over sold...in todays recording I show you why.
 
We have not yet established a bottom but hopefully it is near.
