>> Anyway, as much as I think INTC has been overly beat up it cannot rise on its own. I was pleased yesterday that INTC went up a few cents, while the market was down hard. So far I'm liking the idea of observing the effects of down-grades (and up grades) to calibrate how much risk there is in a stock. So far so good. But it has not had much of a test yet. We'll brace ourselves for October. (with a shot of strong drink)! Sarmad

Here is a little "color" on the yield curve from Briefing.com <<12:30 ET Dow +60.84 , Nasdaq +24.50, S&P +7.40 [BRIEFING.COM] The market remains well above the flat line. The Treasury market, meanwhile, remains submerged. Despite its decline, and in spite of the yield curve's continued inversion, the Financial sector continues to attract buyers. The sector's recent performance, in light of interest rate uncertainty and the yield cure, is peculiar to say the least. Today, there are various pockets of strength within Financials. Goldman Sachs (GS 143.62 +2.33) is leading the outperforming brokerage group - which has gained more than 12% during the first two months of the year - and J.P. Morgan (JPM 41.80 +0.66) is leading banks. The thrifts and mortgage industry is also demonstrating relative strength. ..NYSE Adv/Dec 2117/1017. ..NASDAQ Adv/Dec 1866/1033.>>
