Noticing many of the most popular traded techs are down in the pre-market. . . yet NASD futures are UNCH. Something seems to be holding up the futures, while the popular issues are set to move lower. We'll have to wait about an hour to see which way things move with volume. It is simply too early to tell much about today. And I still believe that today, this weeks and this months action will foretell the action of the rest of the year. Lots of history to back it. ADAP getting expected haircut. . .down about 2 bucks.
