We need volume to sustain this rally so the retail numbers are key this morning for a continuation or a reversal. Now hearing News Corp may be interested in Yahoo so things should get interesting there as well this morning. Futures are up slightly. There was some chatter late yesterday that AAPL would be cutting prices on ipod and iphone by $100 over the next two months and that weighed on the stock. Seeing decent put activity on the XLF. Chavez cuts oil supply to Exxon,this guy has got to stop eating those cocoa leaves. Good luck today.
