SATURATED WITH OIL AND GREECE ! :

Sentiment Indicators have been trumped by overwhelming coverage of problems in the Gulf and Europe - you might say the market is "rigged". Especially after 60 Minutes' hatchet job on BP et.al. last night. International exposure to Europe and oil stocks have launched the overdue correction with no end in sight. And with option exasperation this week we could expect more reversals of positions.

Although breadth last week remained strong - boding well for a minor correction- we still continue down today. For the first time since early January funds flowed IN to Money Markets, not out; and out of US equity funds for the first time in a month. The Bullish per cent remains rightfully on a Sell signal while the McClellan Oscillator is now oversold.
